Does this case lock the smart cover in place, or can the smart cover be easily removed when the case is installed?

I have two of these, one for the iPad Mini and one for the iPad Air. On the iPad mini it locks it in place for the most part. On the iPad Air it does not lock the Smart Cover it place and you can easily remove the cover at any time.

I switched to i-Blason cover for iPad Air. It's a much better product. I had Caudabe for iPad 3 and kept waiting for them to come out with one for the iPad Air I looked elsewhere. Glad I did as it's a much superior product. Very flexible and corners don't break like Caudabe finally did over time. The i-Blason is easy on and off. Very flexible and perfect fit.

no, it does not lock the smart cover in place, the smart cover can be removed at any time.

Very easy it just clips off in a few seconds and then back in as per requirements, however over time the clips might wear on any cover that you constantly do this with. Why could you not just leave it in the case and use a blue tooth keyboard wen required.That way the item is always protected from any accidental spills or drops at all times?

Hi Tom, the cover does NOT lock on the side opposite the hinge. There are some thin rubber- like "bumpers" on the perimeter of the side with the keys that make contact with ipad's front surface. So think of it like a birthday card that can open at any time. The protection aspect is a secondary function.

Yes. It is snug in the case, but easily slides out when you want to remove it.

Nothing. It doesn't turn off the tablet when you close the case or turn it on when you open the case like apple smart cover does for the ipad

You have to put on the smart cover first, and then put on the back case. Because the case also protects part of the cover.

Piece of cake. The mount had a magnetic component that interacts with the iPad in the same way the smart cover does, and holds it up. To take it down, you just pop the magnetic seal, and it comes right out.

Not sure about the Smart Cover but I do have a case on my it is a tight fit and it bites on the side of the screen protector but did not scratch my iPad so I was ok with it. I have a case that is out full on to the back that has a flap to cover the front to give you and idea of what I put on.

It is a very tight fit, sort of snaps in. I haven't had any problem with getting mine out of the case.

I don't understand the question? I use this cover and the Smart Cover. They both function in a way that doesn't conflict with the other. The Smart Cover works exactly as it would if there was no case on it. And vice versa for the clear case.

There is a flip cover that can be locked in the open position or closed position or left unlocked. If locked in the open you don't have to mess with the flip cover at all.

It has to be removed from the case. It is very secure and easy to use. I've really liked mine!

Yes, I have not had to remove the case for any reason. Although it does shift a little. When plugging it in it needs to be pushed in tight each time.

I believe it is. The "Smart Case" is the leather front and back protected model. The "Smart Cover" only has the front cover. If you're buying directly from Amazon I don't think you have too much to worry about :)

No. That is a feature of "smart covers". This is not one. Your iPad will turn of on its own or just remember to turn it off. You get used to it.

I have mine in a smart cover and it fits just fine. It would depend on what size your case is.

The cover works well with the Smart Cover. It is thin plastic (not padded) so it will protect against scratches but probably not drops.
