Can you use the smart cover without the back piece?

Yes you can. We use the front cover and a different back cover and it works fine.

You could, however because of the bulky hinge it is way more secure if you include the back piece to hold it in place. Also I find that the fold and stand feature is much better on an actual Smart Cover as opposed to this cover-although it does work similarly.

No you can not, there would be nothing to hold the front cover on, but the back is thin clear. They must be used together

Yes a smart case covers both front and back. A Smart Cover covers only the front.

No, Their is a magnet that holds the smart cover closed. My smart cover works just fine but I have that turned off because I prefer to turn off my own Ipad ,thank you anyway Apple.

I don't understand the question? I use this cover and the Smart Cover. They both function in a way that doesn't conflict with the other. The Smart Cover works exactly as it would if there was no case on it. And vice versa for the clear case.

Yes you can. There is a cover for the charger port and for the headphones port, so when youre not using it, you can cover it.

I do not see why you cannot use this w/your smart cover, as I believe the smart cover just lies flat over your smart-item's surface, right. This screen simply fits the entire surface of the screen itself and nothing more; does not go around the item (my iPhone, and my iPad Mini -- I have bought a screen for each). I have case for mine and there is no interference whatsoever.

No you don't have to remove the back cover. It has like plastic that your phone fits into.

no, it does not lock the smart cover in place, the smart cover can be removed at any time.

You have to put on the smart cover first, and then put on the back case. Because the case also protects part of the cover.

No. You have full access to the touch screen and all of the buttons. The only reason to remove the cover would be if you needed to pull the battery or memory card out.

I believe that you can, but I don't remember for sure. The back case cracked shortly after I purchased it. I loved it, but since then have purchased one from a store.

No. It's part of the inner case and the protector can't be used without it.

Yes you can :). The protector does not interfere with it at all so taking the back off is just as easy with it not being on.

They are separate so you can have either on without the other. The Smart Cover is magnetized.
