Apple iPad Smart Cover

For Christmas I was given an Ipad 2 and I must say that it is a great invention and I am more than happy with it. I was a little disappointed at first that the new ipad was released a few months later, but after some mixed reviews I am glad I was given the Ipad 2.

I have over the past few months been treating my Ipad to some new accessories to protect it and make sure that it stays in the best condition possible. One that I purchased was the Ipad Smart cover which I purchased from the Apple Store it is made of polyurethane and I opted for the grey to go with my black Ipad.

This cover cost me £35 and it is a magnetic cover that protects your Ipad screen. When you lift the cover it automatically turns on and vice versa when you close the cover the Ipad goes into sleep mode. When using your Ipad it can also act as a stand to support your Ipad when you are using it.

This Smart Cover comes in orange, green, pink, blue and grey, so you can personalise you Ipad, there also come in leather as well as the polyurethane, but these are obviously at an extra cost.

This is a great protection cover for your Ipad when it is not in use, I put my Ipad into my bag or on my side and know that it will be safe until I next go to use it. The cover is easy to attach and I can watch a film with ease and without holding my Ipad as the cover acts as a stand and hold it in the perfect position for you to watch.

The cover is durable and hard wearing and I have been using it for just under 5 months and it still looks as good as new. The magnetic connection means that you do not waste the battery when you are not using your Ipad as long as you close the cover.

I used this case on my holiday and it was perfect for the flight as it held my Ipad in place on the table as I played games and watched films to past the time.

There is only one disadvantage that I can find and that is compared to other cases and covers on the market the Apple cover ids £35, which there are cheaper styles available on the market. Buying this cover can be costly especially if you have just purchased the Ipad itself.

Due to the cost of this cover I would mark it down to four stars, but if you have a spare £35 it is definitely worth personalising your Ipad with a Smart Cover of your choice.
