The iPad 2 Smart Cover hit the shelves here at Mobile Fun yesterday – but what some people might not realise is that they aren’t the only iPad 2 covers available which boast that already-famous magnetic technology.
The real innovation of the Smart Cover is that the iPad 2 can detect whenever it’s been opened or closed and switch itself in and out of sleep mode accordingly. That saves time (admittedly only the swipe of a finger, but time is everything these days!) but also has the benefit of ensuring that the iPad uses energy as efficiently as possible.
However, other manufacturers are very sensibly getting in on the act and this magnetic tech is no longer unique to the Smart Cover – which is great news for people that want more choice in how their iPad 2 cover looks and what functions it fulfils!
SD have brought out three rather gorgeous specimens which use exactly the same magnetic sleep sensor technology as the Smart Cover, as well as being available in a range of styles and colours, so of course we’ve snapped them up. Each of them also incorporates a multi-angle iPad 2 stand so that the tablet can be positioned for whatever you’re doing.
The Advanced case is available in black, white and purple, and the Stand and Type is available in black, red, purple, brown and pink.
