(More customer reviews)For the most part, this case does what it's supposed to do. When I initially heard about the Apple Smart Cover, I knew it wouldn't be for me because I've owned portable Apple products before. The exposed metal on the back will always, ALWAYS become scratched over time without proper care. The Smart Cover doesn't address that reality.
Anyway, after a few days of researching and sitting on the fence, I decided to go with this particular case. It has a fair amount of positioning options, and they all work out pretty well. When you fold the front cover back into the latch, you can either set it down for a keyboard-friendly layout, or prop it up into landscape mode for or a more monitor-like experience. I wouldn't recommend standing the iPad up in Portrait Mode with this case though, it's just too wobbly.
My biggest gripe with the case is how loose the iPad eventually becomes. You slide it into the case, and on the left side there's a piece of cloth that you have to tuck behind your iPad to keep it secure. Unfortunately, friction is the only thing keeping the cloth and your device in place, so it tends to lose its grip easily. The iPad will sometimes start to slide downward when the case is standing, and it tends to also move around when I'm changing the general position of the case, or just holding it with the cover folded flat to the back. Too often, I was finding myself reaching behind the iPad to tuck that piece of cloth back in so I wouldn't have to worry about the device trying to slip out. I eventually alleviated that issue by applying 2 velcro strips- one to the cloth, and one to the inside of the case so it would keep the iPad firmly in place. Once I made that adjustment, I had absolutely no problems with the case anymore.
When it's all said and done, it's a nice case for the money. It protects my iPad and looks pretty sleek while doing so. Build quality could be just a little better, and I really wish I didn't have to apply my own workaround to keep the iPad securely fastened, otherwise this would easily be a 4 star product.
