iPad 2 Smart Cover

So you've got your beautiful brand new Apple iPad 2, the second generation of Apple tablets. But you're afraid that its precious screen will get scratched very easily, so you want to take care of this problem. How? Enter the Apple iPad 2 Smart Cover, but it's not your usual cover.

First of all, the iPad 2 Smart Cover doesn't cover all the iPad 2, but just the screen, so if you care about the back of the iPad, look somewhere else. The most peculiar thing is that it's made of multiple elements (made either of polyurethane or leather, depending on which color you chose) that can be folded and become a stand for the iPad 2. Another very interesting characteristic is that it attaches itself to the iPad thanks to the magnets built in both in the tablet and in the cover, so when it's deployed, they work as one device. When you put the cover on, the iPad automatically goes to sleep, and when you take it off it wakes up, so you don't need to press the Home button.

I told you that the iPad 2 Smart Cover can even be used as a stand, let me explain. When you fold it, it assumes the shape of a triangular prism, so you can either attach the upper part of the iPad 2 to the cover so you can easily use they the virtual keyboard and write with ease as it stands almost horizontally, or you can attach the lower part, so it stands in the upright position and you can read your favorite eBook or watch your favorite movie.

The iPad 2 Smart Cover comes in many colors and material. If you chose one of these colors, pink, orange, light blue, green or light gray, you'll get the polyurethane version, while if you chose these colors, light brown, black, dark grey or red, you'll get the Italian leather version.

I've always avoided using any type of covers on my iPod, iPad, iPhone, because they ruin the beautiful design of these Apple products. But this iPad 2 Smart Cover fits perfectly well with the iPad, as it brings out even more its sleek design, it's not at all bulky and it doesn't attract dust as all the other covers usually do.

So, if you want to take care of your Apple tablet without making it look clumsy, the iPad 2 Smart Cover is for you.
