Review on Protective Leather Smart Case Cover For IPad 9.7 (2018/2017) & Air - Auto Wake/Sleep Flip Stand Design by James Maruffo

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good deal - Overall 8 out of 10

Positives: Protects well, not too heavy either. Magnetic on/off feature is great (many other cases have this as well though). Stand works well. Looks a little nicer than the Apple Smart Case in my opinion.Negatives: I wish it were just a tiny bit thinner, it nearly doubles the thickness of the super thin iPad Air. I guess that means it protects well though? Also, the overall build quality is good but the "leather" cuttout / shaping around the iPad screen isn't perfect and sometimes the iPad might slip around within the case and make it impossible to swipe from the bottom (when in landscape mode only) to pull up the iOS shortcut menu. Easy solution is to just flip it to portrait mode as there is more room between the screen edge and case edge. Lastly, I wish somehow the magnets would keep the cover open / stuck to the back of the case when I'm using the pad but not sure if any cases can do that.Overall - for $30 it's a pretty decent case. I'd probably buy the Apple Smart Case if money wasn't a concern but it's much cheaper to buy the Snugg Case so you can't really go wrong.

Pros
  • Smart case design with auto wake/sleep functionality conserves battery life and enhances convenience
Cons
  • The leather material may make the case cover more expensive than other types of covers
