But: It is indeed a Aussparrung for the Smart Cover on the side there, but on the other hand, it sets due to the construction method with a small collection around the edge of the iPad around. That is, the Smart Cover is no longer at the edges just on the surface of the pad and the magnetic effect diminishes.
The Smart Cover so slips a bit down more easily than before by. The cleaning function is thus no longer completely given.
In my opinion, not acceptable for the price, you have something to test his advance and the back cover changed accordingly but possible!
