First impressions
By DD
I went to a retail store in New York City that specializes in Apple products and looked at their array of ipad3 covers. Of all, I liked The Joy Factory SmartSuit3 (in black). It appeared to be the sleekest and least bulkiest of the lot while offering some degree of protection. It also had a better feel to it than another relatively sleek ipad3 cover I was previously eying, namely, the STM Bags Grip.
Note that the pictures of the SmartSuit3 on the Amazon web site don't do it any justice as the pictures are too dark (i.e, black) so you are unable to see properly its textured appearance, which is one of its great features. If you check availability at various vendors and check it out in person, you will likely highly appreciate its look and "feel" (on your skin/hands). It is truly "slick", chic, and professional in appearance. (Note that the pictures of the bronze color version of the SmartSuit3 do give some level of indication of the textured appearance but still doesn't quite capture the actual textured look of the black version)
The SmartSuit3 comes in three colors - black, bronze, and white. I did not like the white version that I have seen in person but individual tastes vary considerably. Looking at the bronze version in person, it appears to be a little lighter (less brown) than depicted in the pictures. Of all three colors, I liked the black the best.
Unlike the Smartsuit3, a lot of other ipad covers cover the bezel thus taking away from the chic Apple design and look. For instance, of what use is a white ipad, if the white bezel is covered? Covering up the bezel not only makes a cover appear relatively bulky, but it also is a hindrance/obstacle when using your hand to swipe across the ipad screen near its edges. After spending $500+ for a slim Apple ipad, it instead seems to make the most sense to get a cover that reveals the ipad bezel while still being the slimmest/sleekest and chic ipad cover. Based on my examining about 20 covers at a retail store, the Joy Factory SmartSuit3 seems to be the pick of the lot that meets this criterion.
I also give the SmartSuit3 extra points as it is designed in the USA (although made in China). Also I appreciate the little "green" touches such as the reusable packaging cover and the internal protection-packaging material that is designed to work as a mouse-pad. These small green gestures gives you a sense of the culture behind the company that makes the SmartSuit3 and I am happy to give them my business!
UPDATE AS OF NOVEMBER 28, 2012
My ipad (with the smartsuit3 cover on) was in an extremely thin cloth bag when the bag slipped out of my hands and fell on the concrete sidewalk. I had to hold my breadth as I checked to see if the ipad "survived" the fall. Thankfully it did and I give the smartsuit3 credit for having protected it. I am generally a careful person and rarely drop anything. However, on the occasion that I did, I am happy that I had an ipad cover. This more than justifies the price I paid for the cover!

Probably the best possible case for iPad 3
By Daniel
I just received this case today and it definitely makes a case for itself as one of the best cases available for the iPad 3. While the fabric cover feels relatively cheap everything is designed to fit like a glove. My iPad was able to slip into the hard back cover without having to "snap" in and still being secure. The snapping always makes me cringe a bit.
Pros:
-4 foldable pieces on the front cover allows more folded positions,
- Solid build quality on the back cover and front cover with fabric materials gives it a different appearance than most cases
- Fairly lightweight still, hella lighter compared to the pixel ipad case I just returned.
- Has smart cover like magnets with auto on and off.
- Slots where they belong as they used be.
No cons so far that I can see, it's an lightweight alternative with adequate protection in a stunning package.
Protip: I got mine from BH Photo for 42 bucks instead of being on the amazon "waitlist" for days and being charged a higher price.

Disappointed
By Bakefeets
I had previously used a Smart Cover combined with a cheap Belkin back cover. I liked that combo a lot, except for the fact that the Smart Cover regularly detached on me and I've nearly dropped my iPad as a result more than once.
I was looking for a case that bascially emulated my previous combo except in a single case so that the cover could not detach. After reading strong endorsements of this product on Ars Technica and elsewhere, I was excited to get this case.
There are a lot of positives about this case:
- The case is very slim and lightweight.
- The microfiber material covers the majority of the back plate and all of the front cover, offering good protection against scratches.
- When the cover is folded back, a magnet holds it in place on the back of the iPad. This is the most stand out innovative feature of this case.
- The outer cover of the case is a rubbery textured material which feels and looks pretty good considering the cost of the case. The appearance is acceptible in a professional setting.
I was dissapointed to see that the back cover on this case had less coverage than my Belkin cover. Specifically, the smartsuit leaves the upper corner of the short edges of the iPad exposed. The plastic goes all the way out to the corner on the long edge. I'm not sure why they left that little bit of bezel exposed on both edges. I am worried that I will scratch the corner of my iPad on my belt buckle while using it on my lap.
Ultimately, the hinge on the cover kills it for me. The hinge is made of the same soft material that covers the case. As a result, it is rather saggy. If you put any lateral force on the cover at all, the cover slides so that it is mis-aligned with the iPad. The result is it is really easy to wake your iPad up. I find when I carry it under my arm, the iPad wakes up every couple of steps. Also the saggy hinge makes the whole case feel cheap and poorly thought out. The Apple Smart Cover has a rigid hinge which holds the cover much more squarely and securely on the front of the iPad.
The other significant problem with the hinge is that it is centered too close to the face of the iPad. When you fold the cover back, the first panel sticks out at a slight angle from the back side of the back plate. I find this to make holding the iPad uncomfortable. I'm also worried that a fabric hinge will stretch out over time, making the cover even more saggy and loose fitting.
Overall, I think this would be a good case if the hinge wasn't so flimsy and if the back plate covered all the way out to the top and bottom edge of the iPad.
