Are you guys happy with your covers? I mean I find that if I have my cover folded to the back when I am handling it with my left hand, the cover would flap down?! 
Got a tip for us?

What colour smart cover did you buy?

I'm taking full advantage of Apple's 14 day refund/return process and trying out as many colours as I can (bar pink as I'm a guy!).
I had a White iPad with blue which looked awesome.
Then got a navy leather cover then got a black iPad and a cream leather cover.
That looked ace but cream was a dirt magnet so returned it and got green.
That looks nice... I will try out orange as well when they get more stock as Apple were out of that today. I also have a red leather being delivered tomo so I hope I like that...

Fold it in half on itself and the magnets stick on themselves much easier to hold with one hand without flapping around.
I have the blue one and really like it. Overpriced, but it does what I need out of a cover/stand.

I just put my iPad upside down so I can hold the cover with the carrying hand. This was made possible because I had pretty much stopped using the home button.
Out of curiosity, what do you tell them when you return each one? And I'm sure they have open covers in every color in the store that you could test on any of the white or black display iPads rights?
Also, I see lots of men these days carrying or wearing stuff in pink. Appears that society might be becoming less myopic and silly about such stuff. Be free!
Black leather. Went and got my shoe shine kit from my time in the service (boots used to be black back then) and spit shined it.
Black (leather) on black. It looks awesome! And I have a black iCarbon on order.
However, I'm considering buying a red one as well.

Again, fold it in half on itself (with the leather/plastic facing outward) and you can easily hold it in place with your left hand with the home button at the bottom.
You could make a poll
I have the tan leather, and it really is tan. I thought it would be a little more orange creamsicle in color, but it's a keeper.

Yeah I was doing that earlier but then I realized; I am not using the home button so why not just put it upside down?
Thank you for this suggestion: I was actually contemplating returning the iPad case before you suggested this folding method! It works perfectly and because I'm left handed, is even more elegant.
It also makes me feel really stupid not coming up with it on my own

They don't have any open covers. They have them on display behind a plastic see through display! Which sucks - you would think they would have it on the demo iPads but I guess you could steal the covers!
Just tell them you don't like it... You don't need a good reason as you have 14 days. I don't know if in the US they would have a restock fee but here in the UK they don't mind.
The cream I returned today had some marks on it so they staff member put a return to apple label on it as it couldn't be resold like that.
