ZaggFolio for iPad 3

[Mickeylittle]

I have one and Love it!!

Yes but to clarify you are talking about one for your iPad 2 and this discussion is about how it is going to work with the new iPad. So when you make your post it could be misleading to people as they read it and think, "well here is someone who has it and loves it so it must work great for the new iPad!"

I got my "3" today. Slipped it into the ZAGG Folio I had for my "2" fit was fine, closed well, don't need to spend another $30 on a new folio (sans keyboard).

Another additional note. I understand why they haven't changed the hard case of the Folio. There's a foam pad underneath the felt which I think they probably just either removed or made thinner on the iPad 3. Which would allow for the extra thickness on the iPad 3.

They have not changed it.. I was at Best Buy today and they had the black ones and they look exactly the same.. but these were were the Ipad 3

Hello all.

First post on this forum; stumbled upon it when I was researching the same issue. I traded up to the new iPad and was planning on having to replace my iPad 2 ZaggFolio as well, but I tried it out with the newest iPad and it worked just fine. The fit was snug, but I definitely did not get the feeling like I was having to "force" it into place, otherwise I would have stopped at the risk of damaging my iPad and/or ZaggFolio. It closes securely just as it did before with the iPad 2 and looks virtually identical when in use.

My suggestion: keep the iPad 2 ZaggFolio if you already own one and save your money. I ordered the new model for the iPad 3 before testing my old one out, but now that I know it works, I am returning it so I can put half of a tank of gas in my car instead

Hope this helps.

Well, I have found and Issue with the iPad 2 case with an iPad3 The magnets don't work in the case. Apple changed the magnet configuration and made them polarity sensitive. Closing the case does not turn the display off.

Update, I went in and CAREFULLY pried off the slim panel covering the compartment that housed the magnet on the ZaggFolio 2. Changed the Polity and now it works. They have two magnetized pieces of metal that are stuck together. I reversed them around and changed the polarity and now it works with the iPad 3.

PS, the magnets where tiny. I remember on the old case I had to wiggle the case when it was closed a bit to match up the magnet in the case with the iPad. I beefed up the case Magnet a bit by cutting out a piece of flexible magnet and stuffed it behind the ones in the case and now it works even better.

I simply slid my iPad 2 out of the ZAGG Folio, slid my iPAD 3 in, re-paired the keyboard and it works (and fits) just fine. The latch closes properly and the system works as it did before. Saved $30 on the new Folio (sans keyboard).

richgalen, does your iPad shut off when you close it?
