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

UPDATED review after 2 years: Originally, I really liked this case (original 5-star review below), but after a year of fairly light use, signs of wear (fake leather flaking off) were clearly evident. The iPad rarely left our home so it wasn't squeezed in a briefcase, etc. Now, after two years, the wear is super noticeable (see photo). Sorry, but I had to take off two stars because this case didn't age well with minimal use. I switched to a Zugu case, which I absolutely love (review…

UPDATE UPDAT UPDATEJUST GOT NEW CASE FROM SNUGGS AND IT WORKS GREAT! ON OFF FUNCTION WORKING WELL AND THE LOOK IS OUTSTANDING. UNLESS YOU ARE HAVING A CUSTOM CASE HAND MADE THIS IS ONLY CASE TO BUY. WILL RETURN MY DEFECTIVE ONE TODAY AND HOPE FOR REFUND. WILL LET YOU KNOW!Case looks great works will to protect I pad Air, but won't turn I pad Air on or off. Tried apple case at store and it worked great, so its not the I Pad. Wrote seller several times and they were very sorry for my issue and…

I loved this case when I first received it. The material is nice and it has a very professional look. After about a year I have two issues that keep me from recommending.1. The auto on doesn't usually work. I'm not sure if the magnets are too weak but it just doesn't work.2. The second problem is worse. I had my iPad on a desk in the open position. It took a fall off the desk of about 2 1/2 feet and I ended up with a dented corner. (See picture). The problem is the case doesn't really wrap to…

This case fits my new iPad Air really well. The camera holes line up perfectly. Only issue is, while the holes line up for the volume buttons perfectly, it's difficult to adjust the volume. There's too much "cover" by the volume button hole to allow easy access to the volume buttons, as well as the mute/screen lock switch. Problem may be with the iPad itself, the newest iPad version (Air) has the side volume buttons on an angle. Other than that the case is a great fit for the iPad. I'm…

Just received this case. I took my time and did a lot of research before buying. I will say that you wouldn't think that a case would add a lot of weight to the Ipad, but surprisingly it seems to have added quite a bit. I just got my Ipad Air at Christmas. It is as light as "air" as the name implies. However, the case has now made it as heavy as lead. That being said though, I still love this case. It has made using the "Air" much more pleasurable by encasing it in this secure…

This is by far the best case you will find. I purchased mine in July 2014 and it still looks brand new and I use it constantly. I do have a problem though, I am so used to closing the cover and having it go to sleep,all of a sudden that stopped working. Being that I am so used to it turning off by itself when I close it I forget to turn it off and close it and when I come back to use it again the battery is about empty. I ordered another one just last month (April 2016) and this one doesn't…

The Kensington plus version case includes backlit keyboard. Both the plus and regular versions have a rugged aluminum bottom. The keyboard is of a sufficient size that you can do some fast typing with it. I type 54 WPM so this is important to me.Mentioning keyboards for a moment, I had previously purchased the Sharkk keyboard which is a keyboard only and it is the EXACT same size at the Kensington. Typing fast is the same on both of these boards. The Sharkk is very slim and comes in white like…

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…

I ordered this product before iPad Air was released. Upon release of iPad Air I received an email from Snugg that magnets were misplaced for the on/off feature, but they were sending the case anyway so that I would have a protective cover and were later sending an additional case with the on/off magnets properly located--those things have happened. Good going Snugg!I purchased this product originally as what I considered to be the best available case at the time; there were not a lot of…

Have been using a snugg on my iPad 2 very happily for more than one year - just bought an iPad air and initially tried the two sided cover bring sold by Apple for the iPad air - after a couple of days, I ordered the snugg for the iPad air and could not be happier for three reasons:(1) the apple cover feels a little too slick - not complaining - but a little easier to drop - and I very much want to minimize likelihood that I will drop the iPad air - in same vein, snugg cover feels a bit more…

I bought this case to house my iPad Air, got the leather black one. I'm happy with how the case protects my iPad and how easy it is to put on. I also love the tab that you slip behind the iPad to hold it in and the fact that it has Velcro on it. This assures your iPad won't easily slip out. I like the hand strap and the feel of the inside is okay, I've felt much softer linings but it's not terrible. It does have a slight smell to it, but that will go away after it's out in the air for a day or…

Mine just arrived but so far it is better than I expected. A piece of velcro one the wrap-around flap/tab keeps the iPad in place very snugly. The hand strap for carrying is a nice touch, but is inside the cover so you have to have the cover folded open and the screen exposed in order to use it. Also, it is closer to the right edge which makes it great for right-handers but less nice for lefties like me (although rotating the iPad 180 degrees solves that problem). The pen loop is the perfect…

I spent a lot of time pouring over iPad cover reviews trying to decide which cover was the least bad. Seemed like every cover had a certain amount of negative reviews or had some feature I wasn't wild about. I finally bit the bullet and bought this cover.Right out of the box, I noticed that it does have the chemical smell that people were talking about. I kind of figure that smells like this are hard to avoid, and it will probably go away. After a few hours, I find that I have to actually smell

My iPad air fits very "snugg" in the beautiful black case.It doesn't cover the speakers or any necessary places. While it doesn't give it full protection (it doesn't claim to do so) it is does give it a level of protection.I ordered the black one. The color is a nice "black leather" black that looks formal and professional. The white stitching looks nice.The clip for the stand works great and it provides for 2 angles.Holding the iPad while standing up is also very easy since it…

We have the Snugg cover for both our iPad 3 and iPad Air. This is a good, quality leather cover. There is lots of padding, and in the event you would drop your iPad, I'm sure this wo

3 - Year Update. I use the iPad nearly every night for a few hours to offer a general idea of how the Snugg case held up during my 3 years of ownership. When I purchased the case new it felt as if it would last a very long time under daily light use. For the first 2 years of ownership it was great, but by the 3rd year it really showed signs of wear and tear. The stylus pen holder "loop” at the top of the case for some reason stretched out of wack and kept letting the pen slide out. This…

I purchased this case and now am in the market to replace it. It fell apart almost instantly. First thing to start to fall apart was the stylus holder, the leather started to shred is the best way to describe it. Then the strap on the back got completely stretched out. I hardly ever use the strap when holding onto the ipad but noticed when I would the strap wouldn't even touch the back of my hand, what is the point of that? Next thing to go was the cheap "stand" part. The cardboard or whatever…
