Amongst all the recent introductions from the Apple event, the groundbreaking new “Smart Cover” for the iPad 2 seems to go unnoticed by many. Demonstrated on stage in conjunction with the 2nd generation iPad’s big unveiling, the magnetic smart cover makes it possible for your iPad 2 to automatically “wake up” when you open the case. Correspondingly, when the case is closed, your iPad will be put to sleep. There is even a microfiber surface on the inside to keep your iPad’s glass screen fresh and clean. The Smart Covers sport a bendable flap that conforms to the side of the device as well via the deployment of magnets according to Steve Jobs. “You can add it in a second. You can remove it in a second,” he says. “You can have a bunch of them, and pick which one you feel like today and easily put it on.” Jobs is referring to the expansive assortment of colors available for the “Smart Cover.” Apple recently announced that the covers, which also act as a stand for the tablet, will be available in polyurethane for $39 a pop or the more upscale leather variety for $69. The iPad 2 itself as announced earlier will begin March 11th to the US and to a variety of nations beginning March 25th. [Source: Apple] Authors:
