I am sure many of you have heard about this case: Carbon Cover for iPad as there are ads flying around. I got the pink cover for $69.99 with free shipping - Save the 14$ bucks if you ordered directly from the manufacturer.
Carbon Cover fits the iPad very easily and tight. Just put the other three corners in first, then snap in the fourth corner: you will hear a slight click sound. It fits very tightly, you can not get the iPad out without purposely trying.
Overall, this cover is similar to the original apple cover which I had for my iPad 1, but it looks more upscale.(well it's more expensive). So if you have lots of meetings with your client, this cover is a great fit for that.
The leather backing feels good, looks good, and completely covers the back and the edging around the iPad. It leaves openings for all switches, connections, and the speaker. In fact, the speaker cut out is the best I have seen. Elegant and useful. Look around at similar cases; take note of the speaker cutout and the protection for the sides as I mentioned here.
The cover works just like the smart cover. The magnets hold the top down and it will not slide like other cases. At first I made a stupid mistake: I put the iPad in the wrong direction, and was so pissed because the sleep/awake function did not work at all. Well, it's my own fault anyway. Once I put the iPad in the correct direction: the speaker facing the speaker cutout.
the wake/sleep function works perfectly. You just need to fold the very first one, and your iPad will wake up, Close it, it goes to sleep. It's sensitive to the right degree.
It feels good and protects your iPad well. I was worried that the cover might have that cheesy carbon fiber look like the Trans Am dashes in the 80's. It doesn't. It's professional.
I was also worried about the landscape view of this cover, tried it and have no problem at all. I tried another portrait view. To test its durability,I even put my book on it and waited for 10 minities: Nothing happens.
Complaints (minor):
I can't tell which end is used to open it - it looks the same in both directions. Have to look for the hinge or the power button to see which way to open it.
A little industrial smell when I first take it out. Don't let this one minor detail stop you from buying the case. It will go away.
Positives:
Very Unique and upscale looking. Fashionable as well. I haven't seen anyone else with one alike.
Provides very good protection - both front and back.
It completely exposes the entire front face of the iPad2
Very nice cut out. All buttons are nicely exposed and you can easily access them.
sleep/awake function works very well as it's supposed to.
Overall, I am very satisfied with this case. would recommend to anyone.
People, especially men, are fond of the material "Carbon". It's durable and good-looking. There is no exception for the iPad users. They are trying hard to find a carbon cover for ipad 2 or carbon cover for ipad 3 with smart cover functionality. If you ever purchased the smart cover from apple store, you will know that it does not have back protection. But with this carbon cover for iPad you will not need to worry any more: full protection, smart cover, durable protection, all in one for you.
