  • "This is a beautiful cover and fits my iPad 2 perfectly."

Cons:

  • "The light in my bedroom is even ON above this new case, and you can still see, it’s not the correct color."
  • "The one I was sent is backwards, the volume buttons end up on the bottom and you can’t access them without lifting your iPad up."
  • "I ordered one that looked plum colored, but it isn't in real life."
  • "Also the color is much darker than pictured."
  • "Ordered 'purple' and it's more of a dark grape or eggplant color than the merlot shade shown in the product photo."
  • "The vibrant colors wore off and the vinyl stretched out of shape on the edges after only a few months."
  • "The design is a little weird in my opinion."

Functionality and Ease of Use

Pros:

  • "All buttons are easily accessible."
  • "iPad slides into position and secured easily."

  • "The magnetic cover works as advertised."
  • "The multi-angle standing feature is great, and the sleep and wake modes work perfectly!"
  • "It is very easy to install your iPad in this cover and it is a perfect fit."

Cons:

  • "The bars for the kick stand leave smudge marks on the screen that irk my soul."
  • "Getting to my volume control… you have to reach your finger in and feel around a bit."
  • "The only complaint I have is getting to my volume control… you have to reach your finger in and feel around a bit."
  • "The stops where the stand can be adjust to are not deep enough."
  • "The only downside is that the case doesn’t rotate so I can’t stand the iPad vertically in the case."

Durability and Quality

Pros:

Cons:

  • "I originally bought this case 5.5 years ago and it has now started to peel."
  • "The corner protection advertised was virtually non existent."
  • "A little loose and clumsy to fold."

  • "I love the style of the product but it's already falling apart between 6 and 10 months."

  • "For the price point and quality I'd say its a 10/10."
  • "And the price is reasonable!"

Cons:

  • "This is absolutely not made of 'high quality material'. It’s very flimsy and offers little protection."
  • "I was disappointed in the pocket. I really needed this feature but with no gusset only small items if any can be placed in the pocket."
  • "The faux leather is realistic looking."
  • "This new one functions, but the materials are different (cheaply made) and the outside pocket which I loved is nonfunctional."
  • "I doubt it will last long. The stitching is uneven."
  • "This new one isn’t as sturdy and the quality is just cheap."
  • "DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY."
