It’s also sturdier when used in the almost-flat desktop typing mode. The Smart Folio has a much bigger contact surface, so it really does stay in place.
The old Smart Cover was easy to detach with a knock, because there was a lot of leverage, especially with the big 12.9-incher. There are definite improvements when using the Smart Folio as a stand. You can dangle the iPad and shake it and it doesn’t come loose, but thanks to the way that stuck magnets shear more easily than they pull straight apart, this is a risky maneuver. Once in place, the Smart Folio holds firm.
SMART FOLIO IPAD AIR 4 REVIEW PRO
The array of magnets is strong enough to stick the iPad Pro to a refrigerator. How well does it stick? The inside is still made of screen-cleaning microfiber. It also means you can keep the case in place even when using a stand like my favorite AboveTek iMac-a-like stand. That makes using it in any orientation easier. That could have been managed by a Smart Cover, but we got this instead.Īlso, because the case attaches from the back, both the long edges of the iPad remain free and bare when the cover folds behind the case. Presumably Apple needed a case that didn’t cover the edges in order to let the new Apple Pencil clamp into place and charge. The easy removal of the Smart Cover was one of my favorite features, and I love it on the new one. The Smart Folio protects the front and the back, leaves the edges free, and can be slipped off as easily as the Smart Cover. Some cases used adhesives to stay in place, but they weren’t easy to remove. All previous wraparound covers had to cover the sides of the iPad, too, in order to clip into place. The new design offers some other advantages as well.
SMART FOLIO IPAD AIR 4 REVIEW UPDATE
My kitchen scale is currently out of action, but I shall update this post when its new battery arrives. That may partly be down to the psychology of holding a smaller, denser package. How much heavier? In the hand, the whole 12.9-inch case-and-iPad bundle still feels a lot lighter than the previous models. That makes it a little heavier, but it also offers more protection. The new Smart Folio covers the front and the back of the iPad, not just the front. That’s possible thanks to a fundamental change in the design.
Only instead of a strip of magnets clamping its hinge to the iPad’s spine, this one has magnets or metal in the back panel, which mate with magnets inside the iPad itself. Just like the old Smart Cover, the new Smart Folio is held on by magnets. Held with magnets how does it work? The new Smart Folio is a much sturdier stand than the old Smart Cover. But there’s no way it’s worth all that money. The case is excellent, and integrates perfectly with the iPad Pro.
