I'm a relatively new iPad 2 owner, and I've recently been looking for cases that are both functional and nice-looking. I've decided after using this case that it is a very nice alternative to the Apple SmartCover. The downside to the cover is that, well, it's not really a case, so it can't completely protect the iPad. This case is nice because it protects the backside from scratches (although I doubt that it would protect very well from drops). The case fits the iPad 2 snugly, and the outside is soft and pleasant to the touch. The case closes securely due to the magnets embedded to the front, and the iPad automatically wakes up when the cover is opened (sleeps automatically as well when the cover is closed). There's no special design to the outside of the case, but it looks sleek and simple. I also own the Scosche hard leather case. The upside to that compared to this case is that it is able to offer multiple viewing angles. This one is restricted to two viewing positions. I would strongly recommend getting this case.
UPDATE:
After using this case for a couple of days, I realized that the magnets emobedded into the cover are actually weaker than that found in the Apple SmartCover. I guess that's a bit of a con, but it still works solidly (sorry about my slow observation). With enough force, the cover can flap out by itself due to the weak magnets, but I don't imagine myself holding the case in such a way so it's not too big of a problem.

The case is very slim and form fitting. It's a soft case, so it's more like an envelope than a case really. There are parts around the edges that crinkle slightly, but nothing too drastic. It's similar in Apple's smart cover in form/function. I don't regret the purchase for approx $25.
My single biggest complaint is that the cover's magnet is WEAK. If you use the cover as a stand for any extended period of time, the cover's edge will not snap shut or stay shut immediately. Usually I remedy this by putting the thing face down or weighing it down with a book. The other complaint is the speaker opening. In order to keep the fit tight, the case uses a perforated opening for the speaker which reduces the volume significantly.
I have received this case + smart cover within a short time after purchasing. I'm satisfied with this product. The material is the same as the original apple iPad case with additional smart cover of iPad2. Now I don't need to worry about protecting the iPad2 body anymore. With this case, my iPad2 looks slim and elegant. I would recommend for every iPad2 owner.
This case is as close as you can get to the 1st Gen iPad Apple Case. The polyurethane is almost exactly the same material and feel as the original Apple case. The magnets also wake/sleep the iPad 2 with no issues. All hole are cut and aligned very nicely. This is an excellent choice for anyone that loved the 1st Gen iPad Apple Case!!!
I bought this case for my white iPad 2. It came in a envelop - the case plus and touch screen cleaning cloth. I inserted my iPad 2 into the case and it fits very nicely into the case.
Pros:
- Exact fit
- Same function as Apple smart cover.
- Good value - comparing to $39 Apple smart cover.
- Light weight
- Good quality
Cons:
- Only one color available and someone else may prefer a different case color for white iPad 2
I love my iPad 1 case from Apple, so I was very happy to see this offered for the iPad 2. The material feels much like the original and the iPad fits snugly. The front does cover the home button a bit and the light sensor, but so far that does not bother me too much. I'll have to play with it more, but so far, it works well for me.
This iPad 2 case works great. Looks just like the apple iPad 1 case. I love it. Ctcstore shipped this fast and the case arrived 3 days before they said it would. Money well spent. Don't listen to these 1 star reviews, they never rate the case itself. Buy this and you will love.......'
