Pros: cheap, multi-position stand, general protection for iPad

Cons: magnets hold cover closed but do not sleep the iPad, corners are not protected from fall much better than the Smart Cover which gives no protection, very cheap stitching

Pros: easy to understand assembly and testing

Cons: Doesn't seem to work with iPad 2 or iPad 4 output - connected to HDMI output on iPads (the intended use of acquiring the kits), and it does not seem to work. I've tried both iPad 2 and iPad 4 and with both Aries kits that I ordered. They don't seem to work. It tends to work with a Mac Mini, but not 100% so I would tend to think that perhaps the iPads may have some issue creating standard HDMI output (although they have worked on every HDMI TV and monitor I have tried), and the Aries has some minor to moderate signal problems.

Pros: Good storage and data transfer speed

Cons: Upgraded firmware quickly due to warnings, bu it still seems to momentarily freeze occasionally. Wasn't worth it.

Overall Review: I wasn't going to submit a review, but a recent email ad pushed me to do it. The subject line for a 1-day special email listed a 1.5TB Western Digital drive while this Seagate was the actual drive on sale. Errors happen but I have to wonder since this model has been getting negative or mixed reviews. People watching hard drive sales have been shying away from it so having a "hook" in the email declaring Western Diital is suspiciously beyond coincidental.
