Great Protection and Great Value

For those unwilling to pay the ridiculous premium price for the Apple Smart Cover, this is an excellent alternative offering great protection and attractive looks. I bought this for my iPad MIni 2 and it fit perfectly, protecting the back as well as the front with cutouts where needed for speakers and access to buttons, camera, headphone jack and power cord. It's slightly bulkier than the Apple Smart Cover, and not as aesthetically chic, but it offers the same functionality and probably better protection. I can understand design freaks being lured by the Apple offering which I owned and enjoyed with its magically self-adhering magnetic hinge and it's minimally perfect front cover folding back to a convenient viewing stand. The Apple Smart Cover was wonderous, but the magnetic hinge eventually fell off after several years of completely normal use. This product is less fragile by design, more protective and, at $15, much, much cheaper. I docked it one star for being less sexy than the Apple accessory, but otherwise think it's the best solution for the application.
