I have long wanted, until I make up my mind for the Smart Cover. Ordered, unpacked: fit !. That was the first impression. However, after a short life, I realized that the black covering every fingerprint reserves, all white edges showing (do not know where that comes from) and losing to the fit. Even the noble iPad loses through the envelope's reputation.
In summary:
Protection: good Fit: rather bad Appearance: less Function: good
Who his iPad in the future also would like to view and the connections needed, should choose a different cover.
