iPad 2 Smart Cover

The new iPad 2 Smart Covers is really a testament of how closely the team at Apple works towards creating integrated products. The design of smart cover clearly shows the attention to detail during the design process and providing solutions which just work. Apple has been intentional in the way they have marketed the new accessory which almost gives an impression that it is a part of the product rather than something which is an extra. I have never seen Apple marketing any accessory to such an extent that it features on almost all product description pages and introductory videos.

The iPad 2 Smart Cover makes iPad 2 do things no other cover can. Close it, and iPad automatically goes to sleep. Open it, and iPad instantly wakes up - no need to press any buttons. The iPad 2 Smart Covers doesn't just protect iPad, it keeps it ready to go whenever you are. As Steve Jobs explained, Apple designed the covers right alongside the iPad itself and, as he pointed out in true sound bite fashion, "it's not a case - it's a cover."

1. Great looks. And even better moves.

Even better, the iPad 2 Smart Cover doubles as the perfect movie-watching, game-playing, web-surfing, do-it-all companion. It folds in all the right places so you can quickly create a stand that holds iPad upright. Or one that lets you tilt iPad into a comfortable typing position. If you prefer to hold iPad, the Smart Cover flips back and out of the way like a page in a magazine. And if you want to shoot some HD video on the fly, the Smart Cover folds in half to expose the back-facing camera. Now that’s something to smile about.

Set up for hands-free video calling - or watching. Just lean iPad against the Smart Cover for a sturdy upright stand. The Smart Cover folds into the perfect typing stand. Its magnetic hinge holds iPad in place so you can type quickly and comfortably.

2. A magnetic attraction.

When the Smart Cover and iPad get together, you can't help but notice an instant connection. That's because we designed iPad to work with the Smart Cover - and the other way around. For starters, iPad has magnets built right into its frame - magnets that align perfectly with the Smart Cover hinge for an effortless fit. On the opposite side, magnets inside the Smart Cover help it stay put. It's ingenious yet simple. Secure yet easy to remove. In fact, the Smart Cover and iPad work so well together, it’s easy to think of them as one device.

3. An on-again, off-again relationship.

The Smart Cover makes iPad do things no other cover can. Close it, and iPad automatically goes to sleep. Open it, and iPad instantly wakes up - no need to press any buttons. The Smart Cover doesn’t just protect iPad, it keeps it ready to go whenever you are.

4. A cover that's smart. And bright.

iPad already has your content. Now give it your style. Take your pick of ten bright colors - five in rich, aniline-dyed Italian leather.2 No matter which color you choose, the Smart Cover stays put when you toss iPad in your bag, rest it on a table, or sling it under your arm. And since the microfiber lining gently buffs off any smudges or fingerprints as you move, iPad always looks good on arrival.

The magnetic Smart Covers, which also act as a stand for the tablet, come with bendable flaps that conform to the side of the device." You can add it in a second. You can remove it in a second," says Apple CEO Steve Jobs." You can have a bunch of them, and pick which one you feel like today and easily put it on."
