From reading all the reviews, does this case fit the new iPad 4 and is the magnet align correctly for the lock/unlock feature to work?

Yes. I got my iPad 4 in mayor this year, and it fits great. The lock/unlock feature works perfectly. Just make sure you enable the function in settings. It's been about a month since I submitted the review, and I'm still very happy with my purchase. Good luck!

I am not sure if ipad 4 will fit on this case. I owned an ipad 2. Unfortunately, the lock/unlock features doesn't work at all.

I just recently purchased the iPad 2 and the case fits perfectly. the magnet aligns correctly for the feature to work. I am very happy with the purchase. I'm not sure about the dimensions for the iPad 4, but it definitely works for my iPad.

My first thought would be no because I have the first generation iPad and it fits mine perfectly. There isn't anything that is adjustable on it so I would say no it won't fit 4th generation.

I bought this case for an ipad2 so the following is just my assumptions based upon data gleaned from the interweb. ;-) Dimension-wise, the ipad4 is the same as the ipad2/3 so I would assume it would fit. The only physical difference is the dock port where the ipad4 uses the lightning connector while the ipad2/3 uses the older 30pin connector. Since the lightning port is smaller than the old 30pin port, there shouldn't be an issue with port access. Of course, YMMV but since amazon.com has a fair return policy, I would order the case.

It should fit the iPad4 which is not much thicker than the iPad2, which I have. I think it was made for the iPad3, so mine was a bit loose in it, but this was not a problem as the Velcro strap was just pulled tighter. Maybe because of this I find accessing the buttons and connections a bit of a hassle. As to the material: I can't tell if its real leather or not, it's that well made. Mine has a leather smell though..

I have the iPad 4 and this case did work with it. It is very important you put the case in bottom first then snap the left side then the right side of the ipad in or it will not fit.

Yes, it fit perfectly for an iPad 4 w/ retina display (it was applied to that model)

I have an iPad 4, and the metro does fit very snugly - it takes some wiggling to get in and out of the case. However, I find this to be a good thing. I remove the iPad from the case monthly to make sure dust and grit aren't grinding the back of the iPad (something I've found to be the case with other silicone cases) and I have yet to find anything inside the silicone. Which iPad model do you have? The 3 and 4 should fit with a little effort.

I believe it will fit just fine from a size perspective. The 3 version employed a larger opening for the charger plug, But there may be an issue with it turning off the 4 when the lid is in the closed position. It works for the 3. My version 4 iPad is not with me at the moment to check the sleep capability.

Yes, it will keep your iPad 4 secure and protected. You absolutely do not need an additional case for protection. I've had this for about a month and been extremely happy with the keyboard and case.

I ordered one of these & it fits perfect. I never take it out. I hope this helps. This won't fit an iPad 4. Zuweiyu New 30pin Dock Extender Extension Converter Adapter Case Cover Mate for Iphone 4s 4 Ipad 2 NEW Ipad 3rd Generation Dock Without Remove Case.

Did you feel and hear it snap and lock into place? If so, it should stay securely. Make sure you align the openings of the case with the iPad so it will lock in place.

I just received this case and it does not appear to fit the iPad 4. I could be putting it in wrong, but the bottom edge will not click onto the iPad.Update: I think it does fit it assuming the bottom ridge should not click over the bottom lip of the iPad 4.

The magnets turn the screen on and off as they should, and the case is held shut with an elastic strap. It's very secure. I've had a similar case on another iPad for more than a year now with no issues.

I have the same case for my iPad Air, and it fits very tight. I don't remember exactly how it fit when new, it may have been a bit of work to get it to fit. I do remember working hard, with some effort, to stuff the overlap portion behind the back of the iPad to maintain a tight fit across the screen. It has held up well, and doesn't slip in the case.

I don't know I got it for the Ipad 4th gen. I love the trident case. I like it so much I ordered one for my phone! Great case for the money - very durable.
