I bought it for the sole purpose of an interim case before I decide on what I really want and since there aren't many new cases out for New iPad at the moment. It will serve as just that, and will go back to an iPad 2 case after I get a proper fitting case.
One thing I didn't realize about this case is that the speaker grill really reduces the sound coming out of the iPad (as opposed to a cover that doesn't have a grill over the speakers). So beware of that.I knew the new iPad was 1mm thicker but I didn't think that would affect things THAT much. I bought my JustCase cover in advance also like Robert (another Reviewer who said his fit great), but when it arrived today I could NOT get the top left corner (near the headphone jack) to snap securely. It seemed to be literally just a hair too small, and regardless of what corner or side I slid in first, that top left corner would pop out once the iPad was in place. I got it to stay a couple times (seemingly) but you could see that the top left corner wasn't sitting securely, and it was sitting on the iPad like a loaded spring. They I tested it: I LIGHTLY tapped the case's corner at the trouble spot, and sure enough the case popped off at that corner. To be fair to Robert who stated his worked, there is a slight tolerance in almost all manufactured goods, especially those with soft material, so it very well could be that his was on the larger end of the tolerance measurement and that's why it fits. It almost gives me confidence to order a few of these and keep the one that works.
I SO wish this cover worked, it is VERY nice, I can't get over how great it feels (and they put in a screen protector in the package!). IF YOU ARE AN iPad 2 OWNER, GET THIS COVER. When it was in place, it worked very well with the Apple Black Leather Smart Cover.
For the record, I also ordered the i-UniK Slim Apple iPad 2 Case Barely There Smart Cover Compatible/Companion Skin Snap On Partner (Black), and it was cheapy plastic and did not fit AT ALL. I really really like the JustCase cover, I am hoping there will be a true iPad 3 (I know, it isn't called that) cover made by JustCase.
For iPad 2 owners, it is a 5 star case, I'm not deducting a star because it doesn't fit the iPad 3, that's not JustCase's fault. In fact, gripe time: with all of the accessories out there, there was NO WAY Apple could have kept the case size identical?? Oy...
UPDATE 3/17/2012, 12:30am MST: After posting this review, I wrote JustCase directly through their profile page here on Amazon and explained my experience with the iPad 3. They wrote back within three hours! And not just "thanks for letting us know", the CS rep actually wrote a long reply explaining the testing they've done. They've seen that 9 times out of 10 the case fits just like Robert (the previous reviewer) had stated. Therefore I'm going to order another one and see how it works. I'll be back with the outcome. I sure like this company, great product and great customer service.
UPDATE 3/22/2012: The second cover I ordered arrived yesterday, and lo and behold, it FITS. It's still snug and that top left corner isn't sitting completely flat and snug, but it's not popping off. In fact, I plucked it a couple times to try and get it to pop off like it was a loaded spring, and it stayed put. It even took a bit of effort to get it to come loose when I DID go to take it off. So the good news is that a few of you might get a "bad" one but the Customer Service from this company is so spot on that you'll have a quick replacement, and being the cover has such a nice feel, I say it's worth it. I found the best way to attach the cover is to slide the iPad3 in so the long vertical left side goes in first (iPad facing up at you). Then keep your thumb on that top left corner as you snap the right side in.
Enjoy!This is the best iPad 2 back cover I have used. It fits very well, has all ports open, and they even dig out little holes for the speaker, much better than other back cases I have used. Most importantly, it works perfectly with the iPad 2 Smart Cover for front protection. Beautiful matte finish, very smooth and feels good to hold. I purchased one in black for myself and am going to buy another one as a gift for my daughter, but haven't decided which color to get her yet, actually I like all of the colors.I love this product! Perfect companion to the Smart Cover. Fits the back of my iPad like a glove.
I originally received the wrong color case (black instead of clear). Before I had a chance to report it, Sabrina at JustCase contacted me to say that the company was already aware of the mistake, and she immediately sent me the correct case; without my even having to return the other case!
Great customer service ...great product! A MUST for your iPad2!Exactly what I was looking for, inexpensive compared to some and fits perfectly. Also what I like is it prevents my iPad from slipping when I hold it or set it on my legs. Great color choices too!!
