The Smart Cover from Apple is an Epic Fail.
I bought two iPad 1's immediately upon release and got Apple's case to go with each of them (sold the Wi-Fi only model shortly after getting the 3G one a month later). Apple's case for the iPad 1 is perfect. It's thin, light, has a good texture, sturdy, durable. I never gave a second thought to a case for my iPad 1.
I bought a $70 red leather Smart Cover for my iPad 2. It sucks. It slides off when I put the iPad 2 in my laptop bag. The leather scuffs easily, I'm afraid to handle it. The back is not protected.
Wish Apple had made the same case for the iPad 2 that they sold with the iPad 1.
