My Cover Buddy order just arrived (moments ago). I ordered Clear, Red, Blue, Lt and Dark Grey and got them all with the exception of the Clear. Apparently at this time Clear is still out of stock so I will get mine whenever they come back in.
I popped a couple on my iPad and here is my initial impressions:
1) Smelly - WOW! Out of the box it has a strong odor which surprised me. I do not recall this with the prior version of the Cover Buddy.
2) Everything lines up so there are no issues there but you can tell its slightly off. Example: The microphone cut out is not center - this is not a performance impacting issue but just an observation.
3) Smooth satin touch. The colors are pretty well matched to the smart cover (Well at least my blue one is).
4) When its on it leaves a pretty big gap between the case and where the smart cover hinge attaches. I will have to go back and compare this to the prior version of the cover buddy but for some reason I want to say its much larger in this updated version.
5) Comes with matching dock and headphone jack connectors.
I need to spend some more time with it and I will post pics and video soon but so far its ok. Nothing mind blowing. Honestly I was expecting a little more.
Good news it's under $30
