What in particular? Reviews on Amazon are mixed. 3.3/5 stars with 88 reviews. Looks like complaints are a mix of:

- weak magnets

- cosmetic (black, thicker, stiffer cable, bulky connector)

Does this square with your experience?

I was referring to the MagSafe feature being removed. Seems small but it actually prevents accidents. As my colleague said today: "hope apple care includes drops"
