Slim and useful!
This case is awesome! I was looking for a case that was compatible with an Apple smart cover when I stumbled upon this one, and let me tell you: this is way better. I don't have to worry about the cover coming off in my bag and the back of my iPad is safe from scratches. Well worth the price (especially since that price is half that of an Apple smart cover by itself!)
Update: Three months later, the case is still on my iPad, and I still really like it. However, here are two issues that are kind of bugging me:
1) The magnets were never super strong (obviously, you can't put very strong magnets on an electronic device, duh!) but they seemed to have weakened over time. The case used to hold up just fine, but now I find that the cover - when folded into a triangle to prop the iPad up - falls flat a lot or comes unfolded if I try to move it around. This never used to happen. It still holds up OKAY, it's just frustrating to be reading or watching a movie and all of a sudden your iPad falls down/over.
2) The front part of the case has started coming apart. It was easily fixed, and I know exactly what happened, but I just think that if someone sees this then they can be aware before buying it. Here's what happened: The front cover fits so snugly over the end, that when opening it, my fingers would lift up the edge, separating the front and back layers of fabric. So, after three months of this light pulling (and opening/closing the iPad multiple times an hour, every single day) the fabric has come apart at the edge. I squeezed a bit of glue between the layers and pressed them back together, so it's not a problem anymore. Easy fix, and the case still works great otherwise.
