iPad Smart Cover by Apple

Anna Kidman - Friday, March 04, 2011

 



Apple excited us twice yesterday - not only did they release the new iPad 2 33% slimmer than its predecessor, but they've also released one incredibly clever case for it called Smart Cover. A protective cover for the screen that also doubles as a stand for the iPad upright or side on. With two magnets that easily attach to the iPad, it snaps right into place and doesn't hinder the design of the device at all.  It puts the iPad to sleep when you close it, and wakes it up when you peel it back. One very clever piece of industrial design...it's also available in a range of colours.
