Customers are saying

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.

    Works well with the mini case and doesn't add bulk.

    I always buy a smart cover for every Apple iPad I bought. It works well. It may be an Apple company thing that they change the magnet every time when a new iPad is out, so you just have to buy a new smart cover (even the size and everything else are the same) to be compatible. It is frustrating, but what can we do?!

    I wanted a lighter weight cover for my iPad mini and this one works just fine. It comes off easily, so that is a bit frustrating, otherwise, I do like it.

    iPads are so "beautiful" and meant to be touched... I hate putting them in a "case", but yes - everyone needs a little screen protection, and it's great that it's "smart" and just puts the iPad Mini to sleep. Also, super handy to hold, especially in "portrait" mode...

    I have personally always loved the Apple smart covers for iPads because you get a sleek screen protector for the iPad now it won't protect it the best, but that's fine for me because I always keep it in a bag or backpack so if you carry only the iPad it might not be the best option for you.

    I like how this cover can fold and therefore act as a little stand for the iPad. Also, it is a quick way to put the device to sleep.

    It fit perfectly, but provided no protection for the back of my new iPad Mini 4. I returned it and replaced it with an Otterbox Defender.

    The thing doesn't stay connected very well- the magnets are not all that strong and when opening and closing it, it has a tendency to disconnect.

    It's slick and elegant, it clearly does the job you expect it to do all while delivering an elegant sense. My favorite function is that whenever you open the cover your apple automatically turns on.

    I love the convenience and functionality of this cover. It works well for my purposes as a teacher. Over time, the hinge wears and becomes loose, and I may have to replace it at some point.

    I like the smart case alot. Only thing is i wished there was something covering the back when the front is closed. Other than that, works just like it says it does in the product description.

    This was only a "Cover" not a "Case" It looked good but wasn't what we were looking for. BB took it back for us and we got the "Case"

    The cover is the true Apple replacement for my first one that I wore out. I just wish the connecting magnet was as strong as the previous one especially for what it cost.

    I have been looking for some covers for my mom's iPad and none of them really convinced me in the sense of simplicity and aesthetics. I took one look at the Apple branded cover and was instantly convinced to purchase it.

    Another quality product from Apple. Fits and works as it should. Magnetic hinge and closure hold to iPad as it should. I purchased the "Stone" color, which is a light gray / cream color, very brown to showing dirt.

    A friend recommended this and I am so glad he did. Cover is rubber so a little spill won't ruin it. Attaches magnetically which is really nice so you can easily remove when you need to. Stays closed really well.
