New Apple Smartcover

Wow.. I must order for my one. Its really nice and cool. Thanks for sharing info!

Compared with the price of equivalent back covers and the smart cover, I have no gripes with the price. I paid $70 for what this does. I do have two issues. First, it does not come in black. The dark gray may be OK, but why not black? Second, I would want to make very sure about how the cover connects to the back piece. That join can be the difference between junk and joy.

It's a one piece design, no hinges.

Darn, I wanted a smart cover like the first Apple cover for the iPad original. That first cover provided front and back protection. I thought there would be something similar for the iPad2 but Apple came up with the Smart Cover that covered the front and left the back naked. A lot of third parties made good money selling their version of the smart cover with the back also covered. Apple still did not offer a smart cover with back protection for the new iPad, so I ordered this third-party smart cover two weeks ago. I got it this past Monday (06/11). And now Apple offers the Smart cover front and back!

Oh well! I am glad I got this cover anyway because I needed a BLACK smart cover front and back. The cost of this cover is US$.

Just got mine in the mail. I really like it. Doesn't add too much weight. Protects the entire iPad. Only problem is now I wanna order more colors :-))

What color did you get, Applechick?

Black leather one to follow ?

For those who said their case is loose, were you using the case with the iPad 3 or the iPad 2? I realize the depth isn't too different, but maybe that's what threw the fitment off?

I have an iPad 2, in general use I don't really notice it being loose but it's clearly not a tight fit, if you shake it really hard you can feel it move but hey, I'm not really in the habit of shaking my iPad really hard!
