I think that Apple has this time really fails in the choice of materials. Have the Smart Cover rausgeholt with 2 patches from the unopened original packaging. And after 2 weeks it looks like it was 2 years old. And also it bothers me fully that the Smart Cover the screen with each collapse rather than protects contaminated. With me are always 3 "dust lanes" on the screen. I use it only as an iPad stand. I will soon buy me the leather version.
