I do not like the protection the cover provides, but it is too heavy, hard to turn on & off with the cover on and theirs something about the feel of the material I don't care for.it was not for me.

It is SUPER metaly. It feels like a thick sheet of aluminum folded by a machine. I actually was expecting a better quality, but it is still useful.

Felt cheap with the side colored bumper being plastic. Probably would have held up but it had a weird feel to it. The back was a nice grippy material but the plastic and metallized (not metal) buttons didn't do it for me.

Although I no longer have the original iPad, this cover really did its job although it made the iPad feel heavier.

I gave 3 stars because it said the bumper part was aluminum but it sure feels like thin plastic to me. The only "sticker" to peel off was on the side of the back case that faces the phone. My sticker wasn't over the mirror part, not sure why?
It works as a mirror but I suspect it's going to need put in some sort of sleeve to keep the mirror from becoming completely scratched up.
Update: The bumper that wraps around the phone * does seem to be metal after all.

My only issue with this cover is that it is described as a "large heavy-duty" cover made of "high-quality polyester material".  However, in my view this was not the case at all.  Instead, I found the cover to be constructed out of a very thin and flimsy material.  I would best describe it as similar to a cheaper, thin, non-insulated windbreaker and I felt as though I could have easily torn it by hand were I to try.  Outside of what I felt was a bit of a misleading description, the cover was as described and fit the unit very well.  Will be returning and purchasing something more durable.

it is a pretty good looking cover, it feels good when you hold it, and it cover both the front and back, there were some comments about how they didn't get what was in the pictures, they said it only covered the back, but mine covers the back and front.

Love the cover but makes my iPad feel heavy and when holding in my hands the cover would move around a lot making it uncomfortable to hold.

the picture looked as if it's a holder as well, not the case.  the product looked and felt really good, and it's all metal.  we had to return it as we were expecting a holder combo.

Arrived quickly....I just wish that the sides had the same feel as the back...The sides seem more plastic....N the back has a nice rubber feel.

Beautiful looking and feeling case .... until I looked at the back.  It appeared to have mildew markings on it - had to return it.  Also the zipper appears flimsy.

not like the APPLE cover, even though I thought it looked a like.  On closer examination, it has 2 grooves, instead of 3, which makes it  harder to hold (slippery) for a small handed person like myself.  Maybe  the material was less tactile, as well.  To my surprise, the back was clear and also slippery.  I liked being able to see the back of my IPAD because it is monogrammed.  My other complaint is the notch outs in the corners where the back meets the front because the rough plastic corners are hard on my fingers after awhile.  Apparently, I hold my IPAD at that exact place a lot.  On the PLUS side, it was very pretty and my granddaughter oohed and ahhed over it. For the price, not a bad deal.

The metallic spray was applied far more to the front than back. It was very noticeable... like the front was shiny silverish & the back was pretty much gray pants.

The copy I got was falling apart and didn't have a back cover. There was a rubber band around it.

it was a bit slippery and didn't feel like it provided much protections.  I have to admit i'm used to a more robust case.

For a socalled "luxury leather" cover,  it looks and feels cheap made. Not much of protection. here. If I would have read it more carefully,  the word "plastic" should have warned me.  Because that is all what it is.  Like one reviewer wrote:  it also reminded me on a toy phone.
