Essential part of an iPad

Ok this is a simple review
To start with its very important to know that this cover is NOT protective at all
(It will only protect your screen from scratches)
It is also a genuine Apple made cover so of course it's ridiculously expensive
But despite this,
It is nonetheless an ESSENTIAL part of an iPad
The reason for this is that it is stylish and elegant and completely compliments the great form and design of the device
It's thin and light and actually cleans the glass when you move it
It also wakes your iPad up when you open it and puts it to sleep when you close it.
Holding the iPad with a Smart Cover just FEELS right
most important- it was introduced by Steve jobs himself way back when the Ipad 2 came out so if it's good enough for Steve it should be good enough for us

I just wanted something to protect the glass when I transport my iPad. The Smart Cover handles that duty and also provides a way to prop up the iPad when I'm typing something like this review with an external keyboard. Doesn't add too much bulk or weight. Easy to attach and stays put. But as a chronic fiddler, my favorite feature is the magnets that keep the cover opened. It's oddly satisfying to pull the cover slightly away from the back of the iPad and let it snap back in place. Over and over and over. And maybe one or two more times after that.
The only minor downside is the iPad does seem to run a little warmer with the cover opened because the aluminum back ends up insulated. Seems like that would be true with any cover, though.

I really love the Smart Cover on Smart Cover off feature
The Smart Cover is great as it can be removed very quickly with no effort if becomes annoying.. And put back on with the same effort
Smart Cover is strong enough to protect glass
It doubles as a stand and/or can be put into and keyboard position for typing.
The Smart Cover is magnetic and puts your Ipad to sleep. when closed... so you don't have to wear out your button and/or wait for auto sleep to kick in as it eats your battery up.. And wakes when opened..
Smart Cover also piggy backs on the back of iPad when folded to the back and is held in place magnetically.. this a great feature for reading as it keeps the Smart Cover from slip sliding around in your hands.
It actual is a pretty Smart Cover for basic every day needs.

I have to review the case and cover together. I would never buy or use one without the other.
After a few weeks this seems like the best iPad case and cover yet. Fits well, not too bulky, and I like love the magnetic auto power off/on.
One nice feature relative to prior models, the magnet holds the Smart Cover open no mater the orientation, even in landscape mode with the open edge up.
Minor concern, it is a little lard to grasp the edge to open the cover and I am worried that struggling to open it may eventually lead to premature separation of the two surfaces of the cover. At this point, no issues though.
I would definitely purchase again.

As all Apple products are, the Smart Cover for iPad Pro fits well, performs great, looks perfect, lasts a long time, but is expensive. This cover is sold separately from the protective case, which only makes sense if someone doesn't want the sticker shock of paying $110 for a protective solution for their iPad. It wouldn't make sense to have the cover without the case and same goes for having the case without the cover. The combination is the best out there for fit and finish, so just grin and bear it because you really shouldn't have an iPad without a case.

Like any Apple product it just works! Love the way it fits and protection provided. Big downside is that you have to buy the Apple smart case if you also want protection for the rest of your device. Apple used to make an all in one case and cover all for a more reasonable price.
Summary: you will not regret this purchase but is a big expense given that you only get protection for half of the device.

When I first bought this cover I assumed it came with a back case, but being me I forgot how overpriced apple products can be. It's just the magnetic screen flap. I bought the back shell separately. Anyways, I don't regret purchasing it since it matches my rose gold iPad and I use it to hold up the iPad daily. It is also nice that it automatically locks the screen when you close it. The only complaint is that it will get very dirty real fast. I also think the magnet is slowly wearing down it sometimes randomly falls over when I'm typing, and it used to not do that.

This case is light, easy to attach to my iPad and the texture is wonderful. Some cases are slippery or bulky but this case is not. It barely adds to the size of the iPad. It has protected my iPad through two drops so far and for that it was worth the price. I did pair it with the back cover so that adds to the protection. Great product!

I selected this case mostly because I didn’t have the need for the integrated keyboard that’s in the Smart Keyboard Cover. Many of the 3rd party cases I found either were designed specifically for the iPad Pro, or they contained a lot of extras that I didn’t want. One was so thick that using the TouchID sensor would have been very difficult. It’s already saved my IPP from an spilled coffee incident.
Pros:
* Good protection for screen.
* Made specifically for the iPad Pro 9.7” — not a series like other cases that may not fit as well.
* Fits well with the Smart Case.
* Microfiber lining helps reduce the finger smudges on the screen.
* Magnetic activation of sleep/wake and keeps cover in place when open or closed.
* Magnetic attachment makes installation super easy.
Con:
* Is no longer integrated with a full case so protection of the rest of iPad requires separate purchase.

A nice alternative to the keyboard cover. A bit pricy for silicone. Only covers the screen.

New to the Apple world,but this case is awesome using for almost 7 month. It been protecting my screen and stationing my iPad for watching movie. Only thing that suck is since I work in the auto industry, small metal shaving attracted to the case due to the magnet field generated from the case, and would scratch the iPad. I would avoid taking this case near any place with metal shaving.

I had this cover on another device and was pleased with it. So easy to use, just put it in place, and when you open the cover, your device turns on. Close the cover, and it's off. Great, light weight protection for your screen. And it looks good too!

The Apple Smart Cover protects the screen but is light weight and easy to remove or attach magnetically. Wish Apple would find a way to attach the Apple Pencil magnetically or a place to store on the cover. A little pricey for a screen cover.

This is Really great cover for the iPad Pro 9.7. The color is really cool (Charcoal Gray). It fits and works perfectly with the matching silicone back cover...together they make the best slim protection available.

I love that it's slim, lightweight, not bulky, folds completely flat against the back of the tablet, yet also stands securely (horizontal position only). I also like that the fact that the front and back covers are sold separately and can be different colors. However, the price point is almost prohibitive. You'll spend $100 for both parts. Though they are attractive and sturdy, that's utterly ridiculous for silicone covers. Lastly, the back cover must have a slightly different coating as it doesn't show fingerprints nearly as much as the front cover does. While it can be cleaned, I've found that you have to fully remove it from the device and use soap and water.

This cover fits my iPad pro perfectly. It's pricey but worth it. I haven't had to think about it once since I put it on. It feels great and is durable. I think it's the best quality cover out there.

Does what it is supposed to do. Covers and protects my ipad. A little pricey for having to buy the back part of case separately, however, the folding design is nice. I also like the sleep/wake feature when you open and close your case. Seems sturdy. Overall good purchase.

I like being able to use my iPad Pro with as little cumbersome casing as possible. This cover protects the screen, acts as a good stand when needed, and can be easily removed when not needed.

Does its job as a iPad Pro Cover

I have no complains because it does what I should do. Covers the glass to protect it and folds up so you can use it as a stand. A little expensive but I know it will work with the iPad Pro.
