It’s finally iPad 2 launch day (and we’ve already got one in the office, although I haven’t been allowed to touch it yet)!
The official iPad 2 Smart Cover sounds pretty fantastic, with its in-built magnetic technology and ability to double as a stand. However, we’ve seen some reports surfacing online that are more than a little sceptical about its efficacy – take a look at this Youtube video by 2020Science to see what we mean:
There are a couple of cases that have arrived in stock today which we really think give the smart cover a run for its money in terms of innovation. Both are made by SD and offer protection, practicality and style – as well as some very cool technological quirks.

- They protect both the front and the back, which gives them a huge advantage over the smart cover – after all, the last thing you want to do to that brand new slice of tech heaven is to scratch it!
- They’re the first cases we’ve got hold of that feature built-in magnets working in conjunction with the iPad 2 sleep sensor – just as with the Smart Cover, the iPad 2 will detect when you’ve closed the lid of the case and switch itself into sleep mode automatically.
- Each iPad 2 case has a swanky leather-effect that’s sophisticated enough for the office – and they’re also available in a variety of colours (pink, purple, red, brown, black or white) so that you can match your personality.
- Built-in iPad 2 stand lets you adjust to a number of different angles for optimum viewing, no matter what you’re doing – whether it’s work or play. The TabletWear Advanced has over 20 different viewing angles available!
