I originally bought the Smart Cover from Apple. Not fan of the Smart Cover. Leaves the back exposed and I don't like the cool, metal feel of the native case. I wanted something that didn't add bulk or size, yet offered the fold-up stand simplicity. i had to replace it within 2 weeks with this magnificent TeckNet Smart case.
This smart case protects the front and back, fits snug, neat design, & holds iPad 2 up in landscape mode... At this price, it really CAN compete with the simple Apple Smartcover in protecting the iPad2's front and serving as a stand
Great buy, hopefully this will be my second & final cover I have to buy for my iPad 2 (unless I want to change colors)... Great buy! A+++
