iPad Smart cover worth the money?

[PeterJH3]

I’ve gone to iPad for my main computer as of 2015 and the Pro has made it all the better. I know a few people who have done the same. I have zero need for a Mac at home anymore which is pretty amazing. Also with the pencil I can channel my creativity since the iPad has an amazing screen for doing photography and other creative work.

I, too, have enjoyed Smart Covers and with my iPP, I love the Smart Keyboard since it’s also a cover. I have a clear skin on the rear of my iPad that I love and iPad is my main computer for almost a year now. I was able to migrate everything I do — I’m extremely happy with it and now no longer want a MB or MBP as my main but maybe a used one at some point for my iTunes library backup...

I couldn’t agree more! My last iPad and Smart Cover was years ago and also the iPad 2, so I was in for a surprise when the Apple employee slid open the box and handed me the leather Smart Cover. I couldn’t believe how light it felt and how much the materials have improved now that the metal hinge mechanism is gone.

I hated those metal hinges. They tended to bang up the side of the iPad. I used to put a long strip of scotch tape in between the metal hinge and the iPad just to retain resale value. (I used to upgrade my iPads yearly).

Just an update, I still really like the smart cover. Getting it was the right choice. It's great!

Sweet! I picked up a second one for $20 that I'm going to mod. Maybe make it look like a notebook or something cool.
