I have a red smart cover and a white iPad 2. No bleeding and no issues with the cover. It adds a richness to the already unique white iPad IMHO.

I have a black leather smart case on a black iPad 2 (both colors have the same glass on top) and there is no bleeding and no issues. Of course the leather side never touches the face of the iPad anyway.

Yea I know they both have the same screen and yes the leather side never touches the screen, however on the red cover both sides are red. Some has said that this red material has rubbed off onto their white devices. So I was just wondering from the acutal owners who had both red covers with white devices how there's looked. In your case black on black, of course its a non- issues.

The 6th review was one of the ones that had me concerned, plus I read it somewhere else too.

It is impossible for the iPad bezel to get stained, because it is covered by glass. This is true for both the black and white version.

What can happen and apparently did happen for the six reviewer is, that the cover itself looses it's color.

Only the bezel is black, most of the display is not. I have no black stains anywhere. And I can assure you that I have no black residue or oil stains on my fingers after hauling the iPad around in the black leather smart case for the last couple of weeks.

Maybe the red cases are different.

I picked up a black leather one from Griffen at Best Buy made like the one you linked to. Quite happy with it. I wanted more protection than the smart cover offered.

Ok thanks Tarkio, DontUnderstandMyIpad and Rlarson. Nice info, thanks for the great info.

The stand feature is a very practical option.

I have the cat toy app so cat loves sitting and attacking my screen!
Lol

I want the red one but it's 2-3 week wait unless you want to buy from eBay and those losers who are overcharging to make a fast buck...I picked up a cream leather and it feels sooo much nicer than my grey poly cover!
