the Smart Cover is a brilliant idea that in Werbefilmchen and Apple shows immediately the "Want it" triggers feeling.
However, the disillusionment comes very quickly after the first click (magnets stick to the iPad and clack, clack, clack (you roll it together).
The following reasons are for the rating:
- My Smart Cover not support the automatic on / off function of the new iPad (the polarization of the magnets is important in iPad 3)
- The Smart Cover is only a cover, the right to shaky is still on display.
- The PU flap in the hinge inserted wear out at the ends so that it slips even more on display.
- Due to the wrinkles in the first few seconds already unsightly scar in the surface.
- A vice suggested on the back of the iPad Smart Cover affected the handling of the iPad, because the cover is not stable per se (it is foldable) and because it wobbles. In addition, it's wider than the back of the iPad, creating a significant gap.
- Dust is linear on the glass aligned through the folds of the Smart Cover but never removed.
* It does not protect the back of expensive equipment.
+ It keeps the iPad very slim
+ It looks at first glance from seductive and shows everyone that this is an iPad.
For the substantial price and on such a small utility, it is actually just what Apple disciples for the first degree.
I have my sold to such a disciple. Meanwhile, her 1 year old Smart Cover for the iPad 2 was now extremely worn.
