Apple Releases New iPad ‘Smart Case’

Apple released a clever new iPad accessory today, although no mention was made during the WWDC keynote: The iPad Smart Case! The Smart Case offers the exact same functionality as the current Smart Cover, but adds protection for the rear of the device as well as the front.

The iPad Smart Case covers your iPad — both front and back — yet still retains the thin, light design of iPad. Like the Smart Cover, it folds easily into a stand for reading, typing, and watching video. And it automatically wakes and sleeps iPad on open and close. Made from polyurethane, it’s available in six bright colors. And you can personalize it with free laser engraving on the Apple Online Store.

The iPad Smart Case is in stock, and available immediately for $49 in a variety of colors: Light Gray, Dark Gray, Blue, Green, Pink and Red. Will you be purchasing one?
