I was initially skeptical about the whole magnetic thing but I genuinely love anything that glitters so I decided to give it a try and return it if I didn't like it pleases. It's even better than what the pictures show. Any light on it and it sparkles like a diamond! The sequins are interspersed so they don't crumble. The magnetic stand is so strong that I have a bit of a hard time lifting the stand from the back, but hey, I'd rather have that problem than being weak and the iPad can't stand. It is more durable than the old traditional ones where it just sits straight at first and wears out over time. I've been using it for about a month and haven't had any problems. Amazing variety of screen angle options. I'm buying one for all my siblings for Christmas. The only drawback is the lack of color selection. But overall, this is one of the best Amazon purchases I've ever made.
