What I Found
A practical first look at Apple’s iPad Mini Smart Covers in dark gray and red, including fit, color, folding, stand.
When the iPad Mini Smart Covers first showed up, the big question for me was not just which color looked better. I wanted to know whether they actually fit right, whether the new smaller design worked the same way as the larger iPad covers, and whether the material felt worth the price.
The iPad Mini Smart Cover snaps onto the iPad Mini properly, works well as a basic stand, and stays attached to the back better than the older leather Smart Covers did on larger iPads. I did not run into the alignment problem some people were talking about.
