Miniot Cover for iPad2 Review

as iplay360 wroted in the description of his quick video review i dont want to bash miniot in any way.. just wanna show that this is actually not an option to deal with... the promise that this problems ocours only on the "first batch" of covers... but who knows exactly... the main problems i think wouldnt getting any better if the don't gooing to use the magnetic bar as the original Apple Smart Cover... also i think i know the magical behind the "self allignment" of the Smart Cover... you can hear it in my video... when i'm sliding around the Miniot Cover some times you can hear some clicking sound... i think this are the magnets inside the ipad 2, my theorey is that the arent glued or fit in an 100% appropriate socket... the can rather move around a bit... so that the cover aligns everytime perfectly... just listen to my video carefully you will hear it :)

@MiniotHolland Hello, thank you i will contact you asap! btw. why not considering the my last idea in the video of connecting something like the original smarcover magnet bar on the side... with this this cover could even more magical!

@MiniotHolland What about reworking the cover and putting in the magnets like Smartcover? It will then be a thing of beauty and functional.

[be6ar1]

I received my cover this week and I have exactly the same problems. The cover is a thing of beauty and the company does quality work, however, the design needs improvement. I saw a video of someone taking a Smartcover apart (which I bought before) and it shows the positioning of the magnets and the special magnet for turning on and off. Mine clicks all the time , shutting on and off!! Buy a Smartcover and rework yours. It will be the ultimate!!

Srry didn't finish, typed from my iPad. I just wanted to say that apple proprietary made products always work hassle free e.g. Smart cover :D

Thank God I saw this video here. Ordered mine a few weeks ago and was told it would arrive within three weeks. Seeing as it's not yet arrived or received any info I decided to check out their support page. Lo and behold a notice about delayed shipments etc and we could get a refund if we were impatient. After seeing this video I emailed them straight away to cancel my order. Sticking with my trustee smart cover now, trust app

@MiniotHolland this is a good company!

@MiniotHolland i agree with stephan, it would be awesome if you guys can add a magnetic bar on the side that will keep the cover attached to the iPad.

Send it back and get you money back

Just canceled my order as well.

Thank you for this review.

I ordered on April 5th and they told me it wouldn't be ready until the end of May!

I even changed my wood type because they said it would be ready sooner and shipped by the 9th but then they changed it again and said it would delayed another 3 weeks!

*For others that canceled your order - how long did it take to get your money back?

I still haven't heard back from them..
