What I do not like about this envelope, that she is no longer held in matte black as its predecessor, but now shines and a black finish has. The cut-out for camera lens and on / off switch are much worse places in my shell than in my old Case for iPad 2: The camera lens sits narrowly at the edge of the recess, the on / off switch is located directly to it and is thus significantly less accessible. There is some room between iPad 3 and envelope: I get on the imaginary for the Smart Cover point without difficulty the first phalanx each of my fingers in between. Unfortunately I can not compare how great this failed latitude in iPad 2, I must also say clearly that never something happened and outweigh the benefits of the protective covering for me. In the next batch, the two errors might already be fixed and the other holes for speakers, microphone, headphones and power supply there are no problems, they sit perfectly centered.
Because basically black fits the Cool Bananas SmartShell Case for Apple iPad 2 on the iPad 3, I can not say whether I will stay with this model at the moment. The iPad 2 is but 'inherited' and therefore probably also the corresponding envelope, even though I was more pleased with the predecessor.
