I had to send a receipt mail copy of the original receipt (on my dime) and pay to ship the old one back or they would charge my credit card. Oh yes, they required a valid card too, just to send me a $19 back cover. I wish I asked just for my money back.
    It looks great, but I know it will probably have some issue (by the way - never dropped or taken outside) again and there I'll be.

    Here's from the front

    Yes it has a smart cover too

    Here's the back

    I don't want to mention the company...

    You can also see it is cracking already

    I have one from that company, but I only used it for less that two months before I replaced it with a gel back cover. I probably didn't use it long enough to develop the cracks. Did you hit something or did the cracks just appear?

    They just appeared. This cover is less than 2 weeks old (it's the replacement) and it is starting to do the same thing slowly.

    How is the gel cover you are using now?

    It's almost a year old and it's in perfect condition.

    Which iPad do you have? The iPad 3 is slightly thicker and may put just enough strain on the plastic to allow fatigue cracks to develop.

    I have the 3. The original cover said iPad on box with a sticker that had iPad 3 compatible on it. The replacement was for the 3.

    They may have repackaged the cover without changing the actual dimensions. A new set of moulds would cost over $100,000 a set.

    Ouch!! And as hard as it was to get replaced I am sure a lot of people wouldn't bother.
