I am hoping to purchase an Ipad 2 in the near future (as soon as I can find one). I have the opportunity to get a free Smart Cover from a co-worker. He said that I can have it but only if I am going to use it. I see him everyday so I do not want to take it from him unless I expect that it will provide sufficient protection. If I do not take it then he will give it to someone else. Does this cover basically just protect the screen? I have kids that will be using this Ipad and am thinking that maybe I need to pass up this offer and buy something with more protection. Your thoughts are much appreciated. Thanks
