Cover received there only an hour immediately installed, here are my first impressions, which I will summarize in one word: perfect! Or almost, taking care not to forget that this is a product "craft", therefore being very picky you can always find some small flaws: indeed, the back is not perfectly smooth (at least with a former generation iPad mini, perhaps with the Retina model is slightly thicker leather is it more tense), watched under the microscope leather may have some small irregularities, this is normal and in any case largely in acceptable limits on the copy I received - it's well explained on the site (see the videos) and in the small package insert (in German and English, against ...) . But the care taken in manufacturing is visible, the cover is perfectly adjusted, packaging is neat, the whole exudes quality. Once the iPad installed in the cover, the whole remains surprisingly close, and very pleasant grip. The iPad is fully protected and the flap ensures the implementation / output automatic sleep, which was not the case with my previous two covers and comes in handy for use. So overall very correct and entirely consistent with my expectations. But it is mainly the quality / price justifies the 5 star, considering that the Kavaj cover is half cheaper than its "equivalent" Apple (Smart Case) --who is not leather and quality I found very disappointing to have had her on an iPad - and even less expensive than the simple Smart Cover! No regrets for this purchase, so I would recommend without reservation ...
