Introduction

For several weeks, I’ve been putting the Smart Flip Auto Sleep/Wake Case Cover for the Apple iPad Air 4 (2020) – specifically the green variant – through its paces. This review covers my experiences with this case, designed for the A2316, A2324, A2325, and A2072 models. My goal is to provide a comprehensive assessment, touching upon design, functionality, and overall value.

Features

The case boasts a simple yet effective design. The artificial leather feels surprisingly premium for its price point. The auto sleep/wake functionality is consistently reliable; the iPad sleeps and wakes instantly as you open and close the cover. The cutouts for the buttons and ports are precise and allow for easy access. The overall slim profile ensures the iPad remains portable and doesn’t add excessive bulk.

Performance

The auto-sleep feature, a key selling point, worked flawlessly throughout my testing period. No instances of lag or failure to register the opening or closing of the case were observed. The case offered decent protection against minor scratches and bumps. While it’s not a rugged case designed for extreme drops, it provided adequate everyday protection. The green color is vibrant and eye-catching, although it might show smudges more easily than darker colors.

I did find the magnetic closure to be a little less strong than I would have liked; occasionally, the case would slightly open during use if placed at an awkward angle. However, this wasn’t a major issue.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Reliable auto sleep/wake, slim design, good value for money, vibrant color.
• Cons: Magnetic closure could be stronger, may show smudges easily.

Final Verdict

Overall, the Smart Flip Auto Sleep/Wake Case Cover for the Apple iPad Air 4 (2020) offers a solid balance of protection, functionality, and affordability. The auto sleep/wake feature works perfectly and is a huge benefit. While the magnetic closure could be slightly improved, it doesn’t significantly detract from the user experience. If you’re looking for a simple, protective, and stylish case for your iPad Air 4, this is a great option, especially at its price point. I recommend this case to anyone seeking a practical and attractive solution for their iPad.
