I ordered this case from eBay yesterday and it should be here by the end of the week. I was wondering if anyone had received theirs yet? If so, how's does it look?!
My expected delivery date is today, so I'll find out when I get home from work this evening. :)

That does look nice. I really like the smart covers, but hate to spend $40 on it since they dont protect the back. But this wouldn't be a bad buy at all.

Well I intend to use my Smrt Case just like it's designed. The only difference will be when I am through usng my ipad2 it will place it face down onto what ever surface it will rest on. That way the face will be protected and the back will not rest on any surface.

And you can always skin the back if you wanted to. That is what I am thinking of doing. I really like the thinness and lightness of the iPad 2 and want to keep it as close to original as possible.

Mine came in. I am disappointed. It doesn't have the smart shut off feature at all. It has two magnets to hold the cover down on either corner. The other problem is I have to use the micro-fiber side down as a stand. That defeats the purpose to me I wanted the vinyl side down so it doesn't pick up grit and dirt obviously. The fit and finish are good and it fits like a glove. When closed the front corners are not flush with the iPad so it doesn't lay 100% flat. If it had the smart function I would take it in a second. I will see if I can get a magnet to work in it.

Nice case but not what we thought. If the apple cover also sits microfiber side out when used as a stand then if you add a magnet as I did in the next post, this may be the one for you.

Edit: After further review, I found out the Apple cover is also microfiber side out. Therefore the addition of the magnet I installed has made this a great case.

Ok I took a refrigerator magnet (thin rectangular kind) and now it works as a smart cover . It appear to be the correct thickness as well to level out the cover with the corners.

Question: does the apple smart cover sit microfibers side out as a stand?
