BESDATA Smart Cover,Case for 2014 Apple iPad Air 2, Ultra Thin Magnetic Smart Cover & Translucent Back Case with Auto Wake/Sleep + Screen Protector + Cleaning Cloth + Stylus, Purple

I love this cover. I just received it and it fits my iPad air perfectly. The cover and the back case are separate pieces. The cover works the same way the apple cover does without the case. It attaches magnetically to the bare iPad and the cover stays put when closed . The cover however does not activate the sleep/awake mode while opening and closing it. I am not sure if it is a defect in the cover I received or an omission of the feature all together. The back case fits the iPad beautifully and has a lip over the side of the iPad where the cover attaches. This lip secures the cover to the iPad and also protects the side of the iPad when the cover is not attached. Cases I have had in the past leave that side bare exposing it to possible scratches when the cover is not attached. I have not decided which I prefer, the ease of taking the cover on and off without the lip or the extra protection with the lip. I think I would side with the latter though since it is not that difficult to remove the cover even with the lip. As other reviewers have mentioned, there is a lack of magnetism when using the cover as a stand. I have experimented with this. I can't feel ANY magnetism when using the cover as a stand. While I could feel the pull with my previous Apple brand cover, the lack of it doesn't seem to effect the usability of this cover. It still folds beautifully and the weight of the iPad holds the stand in place. I have had absolutely NO issues using it as a stand. As far as quality goes, it seems adequate to me. Since it is new I have not yet put it to the test. That said, if it only lasts 6 months I will have more than gotten my moneys worth! At $4.69 it is a small price to pay for 6 months worth of protection and use. That is .78¢ a month or .03¢ a day, and that is if it only lasts 6 months. PERFECT!

This is far and away the best design of iPad case I have seen/tried. It is lightweight, it's comfortable to hold (MUCH more so than the Apple-designed covers!), the cover swings fully back out of the way, quite easily, and props the iPad up, as it should, when it's folded to do so. Then why only four stars? Because the plastic of the back half is quite brittle. I removed the back cover very carefully (in order to insert an ID tag beneath it), and even though I was careful, a corner of the back cover broke off. I'd owned the cover less than two weeks. Amazon was great and arranged an immediate replacement, but the cover should be designed better, more durably (I question how well it protects the iPad, if it breaks that easily.).

It's cheap but it works. The triangle hold is a bit wonky and doesn't work that well but it's ok.*Update* 6 months later and what we thought was going to be just a case to hold us over until we found a "good" one has now become the case. I didn't think it was going to last this long but it's holding up surprisingly well.

Pros: very sleek design - very thin and light. Very attractive. Very functional. Provides nice protection. Fantastic Smart Cover. Very thin and very light!Cons: The very light plastic means that it is quite fragile. My wife has broken off all four corners of the case even with light use.This is a very attractive case, but buy only it if you are willing to accept very light protection.

It does a great job of being very unobtrusive to the beauty of the iPad Air 2. My only qualm with the case is it doesn't always go into the viewing position and the cover collapses and it falls on the table. It's not enough to damage the iPad, but just a little flimsy.

I had one of these before for my iPad 4. When I got the Air 2 I was dismayed when I discovered that my old one wouldn't fit (didn't realize it was so much narrower). Looked around and found this one which would fit the Air 2. I love how unobtrusive the back cover is & the smart cover for the front is likewise thin. Fits the Air 2 perfectly. Extremely happy to have found the cover I wanted

Not the same quality as the previous magnetic smart cover I purchased. I had my previous cover for over two years before I simply wore it out. This cover started falling apart two weeks ago after only a couple weeks' use. The color is peeling from the back cover, the hinges keep falling off. I would not purchase this brand again.

Love this case. Fits my iPad perfectly and doesn't make it bulky. Snaps right on and is very durable. It also stands up just fine and I am able to watch my videos without having to worry about my iPad falling. For the price this case can't be beat. I will be buying more for the rest of the family.

Would not buy again

Absolute rubbish. The case disintegrated. The rubber section peeled away from the cardboard inner and the plastic bit split and the metal rod fell out. And I’m really gentle with my iPad. I do not recommend

Great cover, but don't rely on the screen protector!! The cover fits my iPad Air 2 well, but unfortunately the screen protector was a waste of space, all scratched and smeared already, so no point putting that on. I would recommend the cover, but you will probably need to get your screen protector elsewhere.

Orderd the correct cover for my IPad, based on the description etc.Fitted it to my IPad and found that it didn’t grip the iPad properly and was loose on one of the corners, had to order another one from a different seller

Really nice fitting hard cover, partially see thru back with protective folding front.Update:Top corner has broken off between hinge and mic socket within 3 weeks of purchase.... looks like a design fault...
