The smart covers fit but any others apparently don't due to slight increase in thickness.

Massive difference. Internet speed is greatly improved and the graphics etc are hugely faster. The screen is rather nice too.  :happy2:

I ordered this one Steve, there was an offer reducing it to £5.99 which appears to have expired -

It hasn't arrived yet so I can't comment but I read reviews on may of their other products which seem good.

I've got a smart cover in pink if you're interested Steve?  :signLOL:


Are the buttons/controls/cameras on the new ipad in the same places as the ipad 2?
