Customers are delighted by the Smart Cover for iPad mini 4's excellent protection, perfect fit, and ease of use. Many appreciate its lightweight design and high-quality feel, while also enjoying its functionality as a stand. However, some customers found the magnets to be less strong than expected and expressed a preference for more comprehensive device coverage. A few also noted that the cover is only for the front of the device.

I really like this cover. It comes in many beautiful colors, it easily connects to your iPad with a magnet, and it folds down as a stand. It puts your iPad to sleep when you close it and wakes it up when you open it. It has a velvet covering on the inside so your screen isn't scratched. It is pricey for something that only protects the front of the iPad. That goes without saying with Apple though. This can be used alone but is made to be paired with the silicone case for the back which is another $59.99. You can buy them to match or mix and match colors. I got the stone color back and I think it would look nice with any color smart cover. I would recommend looking for a more protective case if you are hard on your gadgets though because I have my doubts about whether your screen would survive if your iPad was dropped on a hard surface in this.

I have another case that my iPad snaps into for more protection when I want to travel with it, but this is a great alternative if you don't need the added weight/protection. I also prefer the folding stand that this case transforms into over the other case. It's perfect for using my iPad at home and I like this it powers up/down the screen when opening/closing. The color is also very nice and compliments my white/gold iPad nicely :) The only reason this one isn't my full-time case is because it only provides protection to the front screen (which I already have a glass screen protector on) and leaves the back of the iPad exposed. Not a huge ordeal since it's clearly not meant to protect the back of the iPad, but if this is the only case you purchase you may want to consider having another option if you plan to take your iPad with you daily, while traveling, etc.

I wanted to protect the screen from damage and this is the perfect fit. Converts to a handy stand and is easily removed if needed. Only caveat is that it is not compatible with many after market back covers.
