Pretty fair deal, better than buying from a Chinese seller which would take a long time to arrive and probably wouldn't offer any kind of warranty.

    I got the email regarding this, seem like a good case, for $9 delivered is a steal. Bought one.

  • youness935 on 07/04/2013 - 10:59

    saw them in a dicksmith store yesterday, they were selling for $34 or $39(cannot remember), they are very thin and can be used as an iPad stand.

    I said to my self $3x is too much for a stand, but now $9 is reasonable price :)

    Got one. Thanks OP.

      The $30 or 40ish ones are apple official covers, though I also find even$ 30 for a cover is just a rip-off.
      This kogan one is a generic but price is much more reasonable.

        I've owned both the official Apple version and lookalikes, and you do get what you pay for. The knockoff smart cover had a smooth edge at first but over time, the adhesive wore off where you peel it from the screen, and you got frayed edges. It's also a fairly stiff plastic and when bent at the seams, gets odd little creases like the spine of a paperback.

        $10 isn't a bad price but the official ones have rare sales where you can snap up a nice leather one for ~$40, and they're built to last.

    just a note guys these are generic, not the ones made by apple

    Anyone know how strong are the magnets? I got a "generic" one in Hong Kong before and the magnets are piss weak.

      I've had ones too strong that turned the iPad off when the cover was folded to the back.

  • sparkles on 07/04/2013 - 11:14

    Bought one for $9, with free shipping it's OK. The genuine Apple ones are so over priced. Hopefully this is decent quality, just not Apple branded.

  • unity1 on 07/04/2013 - 11:15

    Worth a punt. Thanks OP.

  • jonno82 on 07/04/2013 - 11:27

    I'm always confused by the apple smart cover, are you getting just the top cover or is there a back case as well?

    • Aussie89 on 07/04/2013 - 11:31

      Only the top cover. The "hinge" clips of the side of the iPad with magnets

      • jonno82 on 07/04/2013 - 11:51

        I see, thanks!

        No, there is also one which covers the back! But this is for the one on the top only

    $10 for non-OEM magnetic covers are fairly standard on ebay, i'd expect nothing more from kogan and the delivery time will likely be about the same as if it was from hong kong anyway.

    the last ebay magnetic cover i had didn't work as fluidly as it does with the apple ones, sometimes the auto-wake would work other times not so just beware you get your money's worth

    ok price, but nothing spectacular

    • StewBalls on 07/04/2013 - 11:34

      the delivery time will likely be about the same as if it was from hong kong anyway.

      That's not my experience, everything I've ever ordered from Kogan has arrived within 2-3 working days. You only get those speeds out of HK with DHL or FedEx…

    • unity1 on 07/04/2013 - 11:55

      Correct. Got mine from a local ebayer in Melbourne and it's great. Auto wake up function works a treat, and also included a back cover too. This deal does not include the back cover.

  • virtualds on 07/04/2013 - 12:22

    doesn't cover the backside of the iPad. just a top cover.

  • adnan on 07/04/2013 - 13:40

    Thanks for the post. Bought one in black colour. I was looking for a smart cover for last 2 weeks. But was not getting any deals for the apple one under 44$. This one will give a window period to get the deal for the original one.

  • quarrymaster on 07/04/2013 - 14:07

    Got one to give it a go. I think blue and green are sold out. Pink, Black and Light Grey still available.

  • msmhw on 07/04/2013 - 14:55

    for black and front cover

    they are different color too

  • onlyletters on 07/04/2013 - 21:20

    thats only the front, you also need the back!! back is important to work with this item and must be compatible..

  • kingofamazon on 07/04/2013 - 23:28

    How is this item. Its not magnetic but design looks more useful and protective.

    My favourite cover is the SwitchEasy Canvas

  • tingleping on 08/04/2013 - 18:36

    AWESOME!! Thanks so much, been yearning for one of these without paying an insane price (:

    Came today, seems OK quality and appears very similar in appearance to the real one. Magnets seem strong and can hold entire weight of an iPad 2. Sleep function works fine. Can't complain for the price.

    Mine's magnetic strength was not as strong as a real one. It can hold an iPad, but only just.
