    Customers are mixed about the protection of the cover. Some mention that it's nice to protect the screen, while still keeping the beautiful design.

    Customers are dissatisfied with the magnet strength of the cover. They mention that it's too weak, the magnets are in different places, and the strip separates from the cover after a year and a half of use.

    Customers are dissatisfied with the durability of the cover. They mention that it doesn't fit well, it keeps falling off, and it doesn’t securely prop up the iPad when it’s folded on a desktop. The magnet is weak, and the cover will not stay put when used alone. The last section just sticks up and doesn''t stay touching the screen. It slips out of position when not in use but stays in place when using the iPad.

    "...When opened, the cover refused to attach to her 9.7 inch iPad. It appears that the magnet is defective...." Read more

    "...gen Pro but the magnets are not in the right spot and the cover falls off very easily...." Read more

    "...; iPad Pro — the magnets are in different places, so it falls off pretty easily. Just FYI...." Read more

    "...The magnet is not quite as strong and the cover pops off fairly often, but it is OK." Read more

    Two weeks later... VERY pleased!!😃
    Two weeks later and I am thrilled with this product! It is just like the Apple Smart Cover that you can buy at the Apple store and has the same packaging and everything! It stays on when I need it to and doesn’t ever really slip off. I love that it wakes the iPad whe you open the case and puts it to sleep when you close it. This is definitely a smart buy as it is MUCH cheaper than the original Apple Smart Cover but works exactly the same! Very pleased and hope this review helps with your decision to buy this product as I am really pleased I bought it!
