Apple makes popular and cutting edge gadgets. The company also does not drop the bar in the production of accessories for them. One such great invention is the iPad Smart Cover.
Case quality and features
High-quality and efficient packaging of devices is a distinctive feature of Aplle devices. So the iPad Smart Cover comes in a hard case made of thick cardboard, which is covered with transparent plastic on top.
The models are available in several colors and are made of polyurethane. The surface feels rubberized and resembles a Soft-touch surface.
The weight of the case is small, no more than a hundred grams, so the tablet does not become heavier with it. At the same time, there is even aluminum in the structure, I got my hands on a gray polyurethane model, the one that officially costs $ 39. The outer coating is very pleasant to the touch and resembles the original iPad Case - the same feeling of a rubberized Soft-touch surface.
Depending on the lighting, the color of the accessory itself changes. With incandescent lamps, bright sunlight, during a cloudy day, the hue can change significantly - from light gray to turquoise.
If the rays of light fall at an angle, then volumetric sections appear on the surface, then they become flat again.
Device design
The cover has a simple, reliable and very comfortable design. The cover is automatically aligned on the tablet and instantly attaches thanks to two dozen magnets in the accessory itself and in the tablet. The aluminum hinge rotates freely, the holder is also made of aluminum.
The plaid cover is simply and securely attached. To do this, just bring the aluminum hinge to the left side of the iPad - the fixing will happen automatically.
On the inside, the cover for the tablet is trimmed with microfiber. It is tightly attached to the corresponding fabric, the cover is one piece with the device, does not exfoliate or fall apart.
Microfiber protects the screen from dust and other contaminants. The Smart Cover is very thin in width and almost does not increase the dimensions of the tablet.
Functions
Smartcover is also very convenient to use as a stand. It can be used for typing or reading while eating or drinking tea.
If you turn the structure upside down, you get a stand that allows you to use your tablet as a photo frame or small TV. The device is very stable, you don't have to worry about the tablet.
Turning the Smart Cover into stand mode is easy. This is done literally with one movement of the hand. When folded, it is held in place by magnets. When unfolded, the cover reliably protects the desired back panel of the tablet while it lies on the table, protecting it from scratches. Attaching the case to your tablet is easy.
The cover can be folded in half - it is easily magnetised and held in place. The grip of the tablet is improved. The cover is also removed very easily. At the same time, the device itself does not lose its shape and does not wear out.
Another feature sets the accessory apart from the rest. This automatically puts the iPad 2 to sleep. When the cover is lowered onto the screen, the tablet turns off, when it is lifted, it turns on. This is possible thanks to advanced technologies - an additional sensor in the tablet and the effect of electromagnetic induction.
Where can one buy
You can purchase a suitable case in official Apple stores. Dealers sell goods at a price two to three times more expensive - apparently, people are ready to give that kind of money.
You can also buy the Smart Cover from an online store such as eBay. However, here, most likely, you will also have to pay money for expensive delivery, and the seller's margin cannot be avoided, but, most likely, it will be minimal. It is more profitable to buy Smart Cover in bulk, because in this case a discount is provided, and each subsequent part will come out slightly cheaper. Therefore, it is convenient to order goods by a company.
There are two types of Smart Covers for the iPad - leather and polyurethane. Leather is somewhat more expensive than the second and differ in color. They look very expensive and rich. Inside the covers are trimmed with gray soft fabric, which matches the color perfectly with the cover itself.
The Smart Cover is worth getting, even if you already own an apple case. This accessory is very stylish and convenient both as a cover and as a stand, and its functionality goes far beyond just a cover that protects from damage. This is another irreplaceable and innovative product from Apple.
