I returned my black leather iPad2 smartcover this morning. As cool as it was, it just didn't fit into the way I use my Ipad2...
Like my iPad 1, I have a PowerSupport screen saver on the screen and an iCarbon skin on the back of my iPad2. I like the way the iPad feels with no case, but I like to keep it protected - the Smart Cover seemed like a good compromise.
The Smart Cover does have a "gee wiz" factor - but beyond that, I just didn't find it to be that useful. 99% of the time, I hold my iPad. I found that, when holding the iPad2, the Smart Cover is just in the way. If you fold it around to the back of the iPad2, the Smart Cover disrupts the feel of the device and flops away from the back constantly.
I kept wanting to take the Smart Cover off - it was more in the way than helpful. I decided I just didn't need it - the PowerSupport film protects the screen and the Smart Case was not going to prevent damage from a fall - beyond the gee wiz factor, why keep it?
