The corners seem to be exposed. Does this damage the iPad over time at all, or when dropped, does it provide enough protection from the impact of the fall?

I have never dropped mine on a corner with this case so I can't say 100% but I am pretty sure if it hits a corner it will break. I really like this case as it provides just the right amount of bulk to carry it everyday yet it is not an otterbox. My ipad has been dropped off of our bed to hardwood fllors and it held up just fine. Hope this helps.

My ipad is in very good shape in this case. The lip of the case protrudes a bit and that is the protection for the edges. I have only dropped it short distances like off the bed once and it was completely unharmed.

It's an excellent case and provides all the protection. The corner isn't exposed. I bought one for my father as well because he saw my case and wanted one. It's also great how u have 4 different levels (angles) for viewing it. Can't go wrong with this!!!

It seems protective enough to me. The edges don't stick out but if you were to have just the right drop you could potentially damage the ipad. Over all I find this to be very secure.

Dan, Sorry it has taken so long. The corners are NOT exposed. My IPAD (4th generation) fits very snug in the jacket. The corners are visible, but not exposed. I've had no problem since I've gotten mine. I would buy another again. Auto on/off works well when you open and close the cover.

I returned it shortly after recieving it because I was not impressed with the overall quality.

You could slide it in from the side and then snap on the corners. Or just snap it in place on all sides. It's fairly secure; the iPad has never fallen out. My 12 year old uses it and it has protected the iPad well with the usual bumps and bangs common for kids this age.

The edges of the case are slightly raised, so if you dropped it face down for a very short distance, the case might protect the screen. You would still be pretty lucky if it saved the screen in that situation, though.

I have dropped mine a few times so far so good! the case is raised about the screen so it does protect it!

Absolutely. In fact the other day I dropped my iPad twice and it landed on the floor and nothing happened. This cover from Speck is great. Love it!! It sure protects your tablet.

It covers only the outer edge of the iPad. The iPad fits into the iGuy which forms a cushion around the iPad. If the iPad were to be dropped it would be protected because it sits in . I hope this helps. I purchased it because I have a 2 year old granddaughter that loves my iPad.

Yes it seems to have pretty good protection. The iPad fits tight within a rigged edge surrounding the back side of the case with a nice magnetic cover. I think if dropped it is well protected.

I did but it landed on the back corner. There was no damage. I can't say for sure that it will protect it from all drops or falls but it would certainly help protect it.

Yes I can honestly say it does protect from falls and covers the sides well in my opinion. I also have no problems with using buttons on sides ....loving my case so far ..

I bought this for my son. It is not a case designed for good protection. It does wrap around the edges, but I wouldn't count on that in case of a drop.

Very little lip around the front. There are bumpers to protect the side, and it is tight around the sides so it doesn't slip, and the back is fully protected, but if you have a habit of dropping your phone on its face, I'm not sure how much the bumpers will protect it. But a drop that catches a corner should be ok.

it's pretty stable on a table (!) but you cannot expect much protection in a fall, and zero protection if it's open when it falls. ipads are pretty heavy, and are pretty easy to damage in a fall. i do like the device very much.

I was careful when I first put the iPad into the case and it was not a problem. Like I mention in my review I first felt like the final edge never quite 'snapped' in place but yet it holds it just fine. I did NOT feel like there was a danger of damage and have not seen any evidence of damage when I pulled the iPad out of the case.

Believe it or not (for I can be a clumsy person) I have yet to drop my iPad mini. With that said, I know the leather back protects the back of the ipad from scratches and damage (from table-height I'm guessing) and as long as the cover is flipped closed over the front then the glass is also protected. However, I'm not willing to bet on the magnetic cover to stay closed under all circumstances, so if you're more worried about dropping it often I would suggest something else.

I've dropped mine a few times with no damage to screen. Not hard drops, mostly indoors. A corner drop on concrete would probably break the glass. I really like this case. It's thin, but still gives some protection. I usually use a snap on shell, but I like this because the buttons are easier to feel with this case. Hope that helps.

I only had for a week. I cannot tell you if it will protect the device. I did drop once but it was on carpet.

Not really. The screen protects it from scratches and whatnot. My iPad2 had a broken screen as well and i had to fix it first
