all the questions i had were answered by you in less than five minutes. bravo, you've made a quality video
The old sleep wake sound sounds like a camera shutter
i picked one of these up with my ipad 2 as an impulse buy. i didn't think i was going to like it much, and felt i was paying way too much money for what i was getting.
then i actually used it for a couple of days. . .
now i've completely changed my mind. it's actually a really nice cover. glad i picked one up.
DetriotBORG: Over the last few reviews and tests you've made, you have managed to become my favorite Technology reviewer/tester on RUclips.
Please stay true to your self, and I love the fact that whenever you see a new "supposedly" issue you address it, like the iPad 2's Microphone, or the review you've made about which color iPad 2 you think we should get.
Cheers.
I know, my iPad 2 is way old so I was very happy to find someone who was still talking about it. I took my smart cover off for a while and replaced it with something more sturdy - unfortunately heavier and FINALLY found the old one today and really can't get it to attach in any secure way so thought I would look online for help. I don't know whether the cover would lose its magnetism over time or not, but mine really doesn't attach in any secure manner. At least it will guard the front while I travel which is what I was mostly looking for. At least now, after watching your instructions, I know I'm attaching it correctly!
K Callan the magnets only work on one side
I meant it does protect it from dirt more so than a naked one on a dirty table. i like my device naked as well but i also love cases and thats why i have an iphone because that means i can have any case ever because most case companys start with iphone
Thank for uploading, nice review!
I just got an iPad 2 for my 16th Birthday and the first thing I did was get a cover for it. I found a great lightweight but extremely durable leather case. The case looks classy, works as a stand, holds the ipad in place, and has holes for the speakers and cameras. The case is made by Casecrown and can be bought on Amazon for under $30 USD. Hopefully you could do a review on the case. Btw I tried out the smart cover and when you pick up the ipad, sometimes you just lift the cover.
im getting an ipad is this a good case because i might get it
you sound a little sick, or tired? Great video non-theless, been waiting for a great review of the smart cover and ive just found it, Thanks alot.
Great review. In fact, the only decent review I've seen.
Mike why don't you do a giveaway of this cover
The only thing I need after I bought a Smart Cover is a a Switcheasy Cover Buddy, or something else that protects the back of my iPad. Great review! Thanks :)
@zombieland111 the case is called the bold standby and is made of faux leather not real leather. It can be found on their website or on amazon for under $30
I would strongly recommend that you check on their website under the iPad 2 section for other cases that you like, just check under features to ensure that the case has sleep/wake up functionality
I was sick yesterday & never got the chance to go. I called Apple & they'll have it on Monday. TT
I just saw the iPad 2 today at my local Apple Store and it looks epic, even my mom thought it was cool!
*actually the black mark that it leaves on the iPad can be easily removed with a slightly dampened glasses cloth or just breathe in it and rub it off. (if you're wondering about my previous comment, it's because the iPad RUclips app has a big Send button that I clicked)
Workable to iPad 4?
I think I'm gonna get this and the G-form sleeve.
Great review!
Nice vid man
I have that same wallpaper!!!!!
Of all the reviews this was the best
The upright position looks like it could fall on the screen if nudged from the back pretty easily.
I agree about waiting, and I have heard of some buying the silicon case (now on Amazon for 14.99 for ipad2--folsom brand or something--and trimming it slightly on the edge to allow the magnets hinges to still click. I have no personal experience as my ip2 has yet to ship. Sweet review.
@DetroitBORG well whatever ur doin ur doin ir right! and another annoying question, have u ever considered giveaways? nice vids too dude i watch em a lot
Is the quality in the leather version worth paying the extra money?
@boardiee well if u think about it u would probably buy more than one plastic case so really if u want a really good one and u know u r going to use this instead of plastic covers. any ipad case will cost 40 to 50 dollars for a plastic one.
Nice review, expect a review and comparison in the upcoming week!
Great review -- really helpful. Thank you!
personally i think the smart covers are just fine u dont need to protect the back because its made by durable aluminum they did a great job with it i dont think they're gonna be able to come out with something better because anything else would probably add thickness to it thats y they changed the original ipad covers
What when You have lock screen code and You open smart cover, but not full? Maybe you can show that on next video
I have this cover & it is real good. It's a tough durable cover but NOT A CASE. but I really like it. Anyhow
dude if you go onto Amazon.com they sell an Acase case for the iPad 2 and it covers the back and it has the smartcover type thing where you van prop it up like the Apple Smartcover
Again... Very good review !!
did this work with iPad 4th Generation?
Very late, but yes
@Detroit borghave you gotten any scratches due to your smart cover???
Do an iPad 2 review PLEASE!
Im getting mine May 11!!!!! Ordered it online!!! Cant wait!!! :D
Is the new speaker better than the old one?
how do you find the white ipad?? does the border bother you?
Im getting a orange one! Got it on eBay brand new for 17 dollars!
@DetroitBORG I don't know about you, but when I think case I think protective. For me and most iPad users, there is no need for a case to come off whatsoever. The sole purpose of my iPad case is to protect my iPad and it obviously cant do that while off my iPad.
will the iPad 2 work with the iPad 1 keyboard dock? Thanks!
Question can this iPad cover work with the orignal ipad
Excellent review, like always!
Does the leather get scratch easily ?
Excellent review
Very good review
I got a question that's kinda private, but how do u afford all this stuff? From all UR vids I've seen (they're awesome) u have:
32gb iPhone 4
iPhone 2, 3, and 3gs
iPad 1
iPad 2
A crapload of apple cases
A Mac
iPhone and iPad docks
@sondreu1 Aluminum is a pretty soft metal (soda cans anyone?). People are getting ones scratched out of the box!
is there any cases compatitable with teh iPad 2??
Having brought one of these I was quite disappointed with it. The magnets are useful for those who don't , and its only got one useful position, (which is the lying down one) but the biggest drawback with this is that when you are using it in your hands, it can be uncomfortable and just dangles downwards, offering very little protection. Overall, would be a fantastic product, had it not been £35 (Polyurethene) £60 (Leather). An alternative would be the Belkin Folio for iPad 2. It's brilliant.
I only clicked on this video because I have the same background, colour and smart cover!!! Ahhhhh soooo cool with all three!!!!
very nice review! thanks!
Nice reviw
@bluebear74 is tin cans made of Aluminium? I didn't know. :-(
I realized a long time ago when I bought this cover that it cleans the screen just by leaving it closed not rubbing it, cause I always thought why did it appear cleaner or if it was just an illusion LOL
What video camera are you using?
i have an easy fix for that friend! you just fold the cover in half when you put it on the back so that the microfiber is on inside of the fold. now your screen is safe!
nice video ...... good focus
please find cover or film for ipad2 back
does the smart cover work with ipad 1 ?
@DetroitBORG your a really cool guy hard work pays off good on you
you sure so love your docks
I found this really helpful I subscribed
I used to want one of these and an ipad so bad
what would happen if the magnet touch the screen?
@DetroitBORG Where did you get your iPad background?
I honestly think that $70 for a piece of dyed leather is ridiculous ... I'll go for the 'plastic' cover when I can finally afford an iPad. Great review as always though!
@Bebagirl0929 may 11, so next year right ? ;)
How do u put that back round
i got one for my nexus 7 for like 20 dollars and it works
@BurntCatMedia i love how u made it seem ur like best friends with the guy
will it work with ipad 1?
@VivsIs1 What's the name of this cover?
what happens if you have a password and you use the smart cover to turn it on?
Cool Video! :D
You have a 3G model don't you?
will this work with ipad 4
Yes, iPad 2, 3, and 4.
i might get one
Do you have any stains with your Smart Cover?
mypad 2 broke !! cuz it had a bad motherboard the 5 processor or chip was not put on correctly!!
nice vid bro
@DetroitBORG ohh i didnt know that but thanks for the info and great vid
good to know the smart cover had rubber bumper on the connections.
dos it work on ipad 3
@321hashim You're fooling yourself if you think it won't get scratched because it's aluminum. Cans are made of aluminum and you can crush those with your hands. My MacBook Pro also is, and that has a few scratches on it's base.
If you do get the Smart Cover I think something like a BodyGuardz is a must.
A huge problem with the smart cover as mentioned in reviews on apple's website. When you go to pick up the iPad, occasionally the cover just comes off and the iPad crashes to the floor. Several people are very unhappy as their new iPad 2's are now in need of new screens.
Just warning,
Vivs
The stitching falls apart, and the aluminium hinge always attaches itself to the inside of the case, from the magnets, and so it doesn't fall onto the iCrap (sorry iPad) like apple had us believe it would
It's a cover, not a case. Keep that in mind, honey.
3:11 haha i checked my email!
