Made a Mistake Buying This Case

[MikeM87]

Hey Guys,

I recently got the new iPad. I wanted a smart cover but with a little more protection so I bought one of the Invision Smart cover cases, see link below

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=467128533&pf_rd_i=468294

On buying this I have discovered that it does not offer as much protection as i'd like and also the build quality of this is quite poor - yes it cheap so I should of expected this really. This iPad will mostly be used in the house but I would like a case that offers some more protection if I do decide to take it out.

I mostly use my iPad 1 to take to work and when out and about which is in a folio style case and was wondering if you could recommend one similar to this?

Thanks for any input I just want to keep it in pristine condition like my 1st gen iPad,

Mike...

I've just bought one too. Lots of good reviews, but the magnets really do suck.

The back of the case and corners seems pretty protected for normal use (I have a pouch for carrying it to other locations in my bag etc) but the 'smart cover' bit is a bit naff. It's great as a stand (both flat and upright) and it turns on my iPad 2 easily enough, but just doesn't stick enough to the screen with the magnets they've used.

I'm thinking of picking up one of these two instead now... what do you think?

I purchased a similar "smart cover like" case on eBay. Looks very similar to the original but seems a little thin. Magnet also seems a little weak but i only paid $10

you should check craigslist! purchased two leather smart covers perfect condition, $15 for one $20 for the other. Saw plenty of the the polyurethane for $10-15. That was here in austin tx. maybe youll have luck

From what I have read on the Internet I think there's 2 versions of this case. Because some of the magnets are weak or don't work at all and some are perfect like mine. I have no complaints apart from the inside lining of the Smartcover could be of a higher quality thickness or suede\nubuck.
