iPad Smart Cover

I remain convinced that for light usage, Apple's Smart Cover is the best, most cleverly designed case you can buy for your iPad. The Smart Cover is a thin, durable cover that cleverly uses magnets to align itself for a perfect fit. It automatically wakes and sleeps your iPad when you lift or close the cover, and it converts into a handy stand for reading, watching videos, and typing. And to top all that off, the microfiber lining keeps your iPad screen clean (except it does have a tendency to leave three greasy lines down the front of the screen that correspond to the folds, but it's still far better than nothing).

However, if you're accident-prone and drop your iPad, you're on your own as this case offers little in the way of impact protection.

Fits both the iPad 2 and 3.

Price: $39.00

  • iPad Smart Cover

    In regards to the iPad Smart Cover, as my wife calls it the 'Not So Smart Cover', if you accidentally pick up the iPad by the cover, the magnets are not strong enough to keep the two connected and the iPad will drop. In my case the iPad screen cracked and was no longer operational. I thought I was a careful person, but obviously not enough for this case.
