Requirement: protect the back and using the Smart Cover from Apple to protect the front.
As with my iPad Air I wanted as much as possible to protect the new device also against careless handling and even sensitive surfaces on which the instrument is deposited. In the TPU Case for iPad Air from another provider had bothered me that the Smart Cover from Apple did not even contact. Only after massive exposure to violence on the Apple Smart Cover was an improvement achieved. As I had already done with a neoprene sleeve of Cool pineapple for a Macbook Air good experience, this time I have decided to use the product of Cool Bananas. Again, this problem exists, but not as much by far. The problem is caused by the thickness of the material in the corners on the side with the cut for the Smart Cover. In this area, the manufacturer would have to reduce the thickness of the material. Since this is but rather an optical problem, and no noticeable effect on the functionality, I give 4 stars.
