Is this a 2 piece case? e.g. the front cover detaches from the back cover, and the front cover attaches to the side of the iPad mini magnetically?

It's technically two pieces but the shell cover seals in the magnetic cover. So you can't detach the case without completely removing the case.

Yes, it is exactly what you described. It also comes with a screen protector and stylus. I got my cases in two colors lime green and purple. I have been using the lime green and the corners are already chipped and cracked. I have only had it for about 6 weeks or so.

Yes, it is a two piece cover. It protects both the front and back of the iPad. Great product!!

it fit my iPad2... NOT the Mini - not sure if it is second generation or not; just know I have an iPad 2... it does NOT have a protective front; I had to order a seperate screen protector. It is a nice kid proof case, just wish it had a protective front. Good Luck

It doesn't detach, the keyboard is the cover that rest closed onto the screen. It is magnetic so when you close it the iPad turns off, just like the simple cover.

It is an actual apple product. The case has a magnetic strip that attaches to the ipad and that's how it stays on. I bought a cheap plastic shell on amazon that covers the back of the ipad since the Smart Cover only takes care of the front. I love mine. I hope this helps. Scott

Hi Nate. It is slightly magnetized without the keyboard in it. With the keyboard in (which holds onto the case by the magnet but it isn't a strong magnet because it might interfere with the electronics if it was stronger. I guess you would need to use some kind of strap or such to keep it closed when it is being moved around from a flat surface. We don't take ours outside the house so we don't have an issue. We really like it though and simply just hold it when we move it from place to place. It is substantial and it protects the IPad very well. Hope that helps!

I don't have that problem, maybe because I carry it in my hands (which keeps both halves shut) or in a notebook type case that's about the size of the iPad, so there's no chance of both parts really separating. The magnet that keeps both halves together is pretty strong, I don't see it would be easy for the cover to slip by itself, now, opening (and draining the battery) is more likely, specially if you have a lot of room in your briefcase.

It should have came as a one piece system. The side that actually attaches to the iPad swivels very loosely but should always be attached.

It detaches very easily because it is only held in place by magnets. However it is very awkward to try and use the case with the iPad in the portrait orientation. Hope that helps!

No it does not. Just got it and one corner won't secure as the mini retina is thicker than the first generation one. THIS IS NOT FOR THE IPAD MINI RETINA! Going back ASAP

Yes it does. It comes with an attachment that you can take off for the regular iPad or leave it in for the mini.

No, it covers just front. it has a magnet to attach to left side of the iPad (metal body) and it also has a magnet on right segment of the cover that works for locking/unlocking the iPad.

The front and back are two pieces and the back is used to hold the top on. The top does not attach on its own like other magnetic covers (such as with a long magnet on the side).

Yes, it's just a two piece magnet. One part actually clamps on the flip part itself and the other attaches to the bezel of the phone with an adhesive strip that's pretty strong. The magnet is actually within the piece that attaches to the phones bezel and once the flap is closed the magnet holds it together and keeps it from opening up on its own which will happen with the S-View case or any other flip cover without some type of locking mechanism. It's a simple solution at a reasonable price.

No, it is just a case for the back side. It does not fully enclose the iPad mini.

My case does have a magnet to hold the front cover closed, but it does not turn my ipad on or off. Alice

No (which is one reason why I don't use it very much). For a very similar keyboard/case combo where the case *is* detachable check out the New Trent Rugged Airbender case:iPad mini Keyboard Case, New Trent NT31B Airbender Mini Rugged Splash Resistant Dirt and Shockproof Wireless Bluetooth iPad mini Keyboard Case with Built-in Screen Protector for iPad mini 1 2 3 Only
