JETech Case Smart Cover Sleep Reviews Summary

Durability

Pros:

• "The first one I bought, lasted more than a year."
• "This is a decent product for the price and compared to Apple's extortionate pricing. It fit my mini 4 perfectly and gave me at least a year of good use."
• "I purchased this cover for my iPad mini and it’s everything you could ask for in a cover, the fit was spot on."
• "Really great budget iPad case, although this is my second one as the first one cracked after 2 years of use."
• "Bought as a replacement for a grey one (of the same type), which had served me very well for 3 and a half years."
• "I’ve had this iPad case, used gently, for about 6 months, and it looks like I’ve had it for years while throwing it around my house constantly."
• "This is my third case and they are bullet proof (three cases, three different iPads)."

Cons:

• "Typical of many items made in China, it is beginning to crack after about six months."
• "The corners slowly started breaking off and it will no longer hold my iPad."
• "3 months on and the corners are starting to crack."
• "Only Lasted 7 Weeks."
• "The case has started to crack in multiple places."
• "It started out great but then pieces of it just broke off."
• "After less than 2 years it started to disintegrate."

Fit and Compatibility

Pros:

• "Fits iPad mini 4 very well."
• "Fits the iPad 4 perfectly but offers absolutely no protection."
• "The Apple Case which I replaced had one side protection. This JE-Tec Case has double sided protection."
• "Fits my mother’s iPad perfectly and looks like how the product was advertised."
• "It fits the iPad Mini 4 perfectly."
• "The case fits great and all the cut outs are perfectly placed."
• "This JETech case is well made, fits my new iPad mini 4 perfectly, all the cutouts are perfect."

Cons:

• "The case is constantly pressing the volume up button, resulting in the volume control overlay perpetually staying onscreen."
• "When I first got this case it didn't fit very well and the auto sleep/wake feature didn't work."
• "It’s only a plastic shell for the IPad4 mini, and a lid, which doesn’t stay flat against the screen."
• "The edge also protrudes slightly from the iPad and gets caught easily when putting into a pocket or bag."
• "The case also appears to slightly block the camera lens now."
• "The case no longer holds the iPad securely and it just slips right out."
• "However, the side cut to reveal the volume up / down buttons is not correct for the iPad 5 – the volume up button is depressed by the cover."

Design and Aesthetics

Pros:

• "Really slim and minimal, which I like, fits like a glove, works perfectly."
• "This cover is definitely much thinner and lightweight compared to the Apple one."
• "The color of misty blue is more green and the back is a hard see thru definitely green plastic."
• "I like the Misty Blue color (it’s actually more of a dark green, as the picture on the item shows.)."
• "Got a purple one because it stands out enough that I can find it easily in my messy office."
• "The color of purple on this case is beautiful and it fits my iPad mini4 perfectly."
• "The misty blue color is even more beautiful in person, and it fits my device perfectly."

Cons:

• "The case actually works fine, but the product is not the right color."
• "Pretty disappointed with the color. I ordered gold and the color online made it look more pastel."
• "I'm really bummed because the color of this case is precisely what I wanted and I fear I will be unable to find another in a similar color."
• "The cover has multiple scratches and what look like cracks."
• "The inside fabric-type surface which becomes the back side when opened has become filthy and looks horrible."
• "The fake leather on the magnet flap did begin to fray and separate on the edges before the plastic case cracked."
• "The cover has a hard time staying in the configuration and often folds over on itself."

Functionality and Features

Pros:

• "The smart cover feature with auto sleep/wake function is incredibly convenient."
• "The magnetic close is a must and it does not bubble up in any spots when shut."
• "The wake/sleep function when the cover is open/closed works perfectly."
• "The magnetic closure works as good as Apple ones and although I use a wooden stand (from Ikea), it will fold and stand up on its own."
• "It is also nice there is a magnet that will keep it open when the case stand is in use."
• "The smart cover is able to wake and sleep the iPad which helps saving battery."
• "All ports and buttons are easily accessible, auto-sleep/wake works well."

Cons:

• "The flip cover comes stiffer than you’d think. It has a strong memory of laying flat and therefore has a slightly difficult time rolling into the stand position."
• "The only feature which is less than perfect, is that there is only one position that works well for propping open at an angle."
• "When I close it, it's supposed to turn off the screen. Occasionally it doesn't."
• "The stand isn’t very strong, so takes some maneuvering to keep it upright."
• "The cover protects the screen during travel and it really does fold to become a stand for the iPad."
• "The stand helps only if it’s on a flat surface."
• "Don't buy this cover if the sleep mode is important to you!"

Customer Service and Warranty

Pros:

• "Support was EXCELLENT from the beginning, even to the point of sending me a second one without wanting the first one in return."
• "Seller seems to care a great deal about customer satisfaction."
• "Update: company has arranged a free replacement so for customer service I’m improving the rating."
• "Once I contacted the seller they sent out an immediate replacement."
• "Love that they care about the customers."
• "I inadvertently ordered the wrong size and when I contacted them they helped me figure out what I needed and sent it out right away."
• "They honored their lifetime warrantee and sent me a new cover."

Cons:

• "Very disappointing!! I guess I will invest into something better… and hopefully it will be a NEW item!"
• "So the 'lifetime warranty' must refer to the lifetime of a squirrel or a bug or something."
• "I called the company 3 times and left messages to call me back to return the item and to no avail."
• "Now I am looking at my order history and I see that this item is not eligible for return, so into the trash this goes."
• "This case interferes with the functioning of my iPad Mini to the point that I can’t use it."
• "I reached out to the vendor and haven't heard back, though they claim to have a warranty."
• "Customer service was not really helpful buying a proper case now."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "With the price, you get great value for the money without scrimping on protection."
• "They are good for the price."
• "The case is good for the price."
• "This case is a very nice value. It fits the iPad mini perfectly and the sleep / wake feature works fine."

• "This case is readily worth the price I paid."
