Has the design changed at all? I have seen a lot of complaints about overheating and not being able to take pictures, for usage with Ipad 2????? Thank

Purchased as Christmas gift for someone who uses it a lot. So far still looks good pictures taken and no issues.

I have not had this problem but the case is handsome but not very efficient

The design looks the same as in the picture. I've hadn't have any problem with overheating and I use my iPad quite a bit in the evenings after I come back from work, also I'm able to take pictures if I wish there is nothing obstructing the camera as for the size my is an iPad 2, the very ancient one, not to be confuse with the newer model air2, I don't even know that number is up to now, as you can see I don't keep up much the lastest arrivals. I hope that helps.

nope, it hasn't for me. idk how those things those people complained about are even possible lol i've never had it over heat on me (that would seem like a device issue, not a case issue) and i've been able to take hundreds of pictures.. with out any probems!!

The OLD version is the iPad mini 1st generation which is equal in specs to the iPad 2. The NEW version is the iPad mini with retina display which has a better processor (A7 chip) and a much better display due to a lot more pixels in the screen. Words and images look far more seamless and just better overall. The iPad Air has the same specs but is more expensive because it is full size. I opted to get the iPad mini w/ retina display with 32 gigs which is a better deal than getting the iPad air with 16 gigs (about the same price).

There is one for the ipad2 for same price and same design. Got it for a friend of mine.

My wife still uses hers after a couple of years. It doesn't get as much use as my ipad 1 but I don't really care for the ipad anyone.

For me it looks like the original one. Bought one, installed at my old iPad2 and have been using it with no issues at all for couple months.

Hi Ann,I've had mine for quite a while. As much as the "visual" design is beautiful, unfortunately, the "functional" design has issues ... All related to one area ... The tightening screw on the back, which is supposed to keep the desires position of the stand "locked in"Unfortunately, the screw mechanism is not built well. If you tighten too much, it will break, if you don't, then after one or two 'put in/take out' visits by your iPad, it all gets loose and wobbly. So for your proposed usage area, I think this piece might be a bit fickle and sensitive to touch. Mine is for home use, so it meets my needs. But you might need something more rigid that holds the iPad more strongly. Just trying to give an honest feedback. Hi Ann,I've had mine for quite a while.

Yes. Mine is overheating. I just realized and went searching. It charges my ipad great and I love the dual port but it now seems hazardous. I am using a small extension cord since my charging cable is so short...I hope that's not a factor.

As you may know by now, this new version (iPad Mini 3) was a fair disappointment among the Apple buying public, as the only two things majorly different from the previous model, was integration of finger-print scan, and a gold coloured version. Otherwise, the innards are pretty much identical. I would get last year's model, iPad Mini 2 w/retina and save some cash.

I am using it with my iPad2 and it is great. One rubber bumper (trim) on the outside of the side clamps came off and I was able to glue it back in place. The same happened with the from pad of the base, otherwise it was worth purchasing.Rene

LOL.... the processor alone make the Ipad look like cow dung. Add in no restrictions blue tooth.. yeah apple likes to live in their little fenced in area where they even control the hardware you hook up to your device.Also not 10". 7" can accually be put in a nice carry case on your belt and with the second edition model you will be able to put your sim chip in.. so unlocked can use on any 3-4g network.So I would say.. less $$$ much better hardware and open not locked. This tablet is for the grown ups who dont want to be lead down the path by big daddy apple.. but want to be able to do what they want when they want.

I did not have any problem at all. In fact, I sync'd with my older IPad 2 also and used it. I am really impressed with this item for the price, it works great and stays charged for a long time. I hope this helps you.

The Snugg case i bought has a hole for the camera in the back in the upper right hand corner. However, I believe the original iPad did NOT have a camera. cameras started with the iPad 2.

Why bother? I've had an ipad since they came out and have never had a problem. These things are awesome and very durable, I would think if anything bad happened it would be operator error, but I'm also very careful with mine, my life is on this thing.

Todd, I was reading some of the "newest first" reviews and it looks like the magnet that puts the iPad to sleep does not work with this case. Are you able to confirm that? I'm expecting my new iPad to be delivered on Monday the 20th and I'm still trying to make a decision on some of the cases available.

If I were you, I would send it back. The beauty of this thing is in how well it fits with ipad 2 or 3. Using it with a smaller device with a different connector takes it essence away IMO.

My ipad2 would not connect to ANYTHING with this device, so I cannot recomend it to anyone for ipad2. I could not find any app for it either. I would check for the app referred to in the user notes and not buy unless one can be found. No name for the alleged app was given.

Hi, I do not own an Ipad 2. I use it with my HTC phones and my Ipod 4th Generation. One is suppose to be able to use it with the Ipad too. You might want to try it. Its great. The sound is great. I use it in my car with my Ipod too. I carry it with me wherever I go, always. I hope this is helpful.
