Since the generation of the iPad 2, up to the last (Retina), the case fits the iPad perfectly. Protect the screen is good, but the rear seat also needs BE immune to shock and scratches. The screen lights up and goes out automatically with the smart box. The frontal protection retreated to the back to form a stand for watching a movie or in another position for typing text more easily on the iPad. In short, I recommend the smart box, which goes much further than just smart cover.
