sweet man, looks pretty awesome. I love that color combo.

I havent been able to find the red smart cover anywhere though. Even at apple.com they are 3-4 week delivery.
 
How much money goes to Product RED for each unit sold? Maybe I can justify buying a $70 piece of leather and some magnets.

I doubt it is anything substantial, though. Was pretty pissed when I found out that the product RED Beats By Dre headphones only give 5 lousy bucks per unit sold to the charity.
 
Hey you noticing any colour changes with your red?

I want to get it but I was afraid that hand creams may impact it.

Oh and cleaning it, what are your plans for that?
 
I'm thinking about returning the red. The color is a bit dull in real life, and I wish it was brigther. It looks bright red in those photos above because flash was used on the camera, but in person it looks darker and more full :( I'm considering right now either to exchange for the cream one or the tan one.

The only numbers I've ever seen were "up to 50%". I wouldn't be surprised if Apples not doing at least that, $35 a pop on one color of the Smartcover is hardly going to impact their bottom line.
