Here’s the only problem: the magnets in the open end can accidentally turn on the iPad 2, which could lead to unintended battery drain. At first we weren’t too worried about this flaw; we thought the chances of it happening often were pretty low. In our testing, however, it turned out to be a pretty common problem, and happened regardless of the direction the iPad 2 was inserted. Of course owners of the original iPad won’t experience these issues, but for people who are using the newer tablet, this issue stops us from being able to recommend the otherwise novel solution. For the first iPad, it’s worthy of a B; on the iPad 2, the magnet issues merit a C rating.
