While I really like my DODOcase this Christmas I asked Santa for a blue Smart Cover for my iPad 2. Unfortunately, the red-suited fat man let me down, but my dad did not disappoint. After using the Smart Cover for a few days I can say that it does not disappoint either.
If you received an iPad 2 from Jolly Old Saint Nick you might be wondering what route to go regarding protection. Most people want to enjoy the beautiful aesthetic of the iPad’s design while ensuring it doesn’t shatter when dropped or otherwise get scratched or damaged by dirt.
The Apple Smart Cover does not offer bulletproof protection, but (like all Apple products) is well designed, sleek and versatile.
Two of my favorite features are the folded typing position (which I’m using now to draft this post) and the screenlock. By merely lifting or closing the flap you can wake up the iPad or send it into sleep mode.
Do you use a cover or case for your iPad?
P.S. Regardless of whether or not you use a case/cover I highly recommend a screen protector. I use the invisibleSHIELD by ZAGG and its fantastic.
Nice – I’m waiting for the iPad3 – hopefully by February 24th like some sites have said… I’ll then be buying some protection for mine…
February 24th, huh? Hmmm… I’m tempted to sell my iPad 2 ahead of time. Maybe toward the end of January. Gotta stay ahead of the rumors.
I rock the Black Leather Smart Cover on my iPad 2. I love it.
Orange for me. Glad they made it and thought. Of me before they discontinued it,
Go ‘CUSE!
Now I’m thinking about college themed Smart Covers. Business opportunity?
Go Sun Devils!!
I have a gray one. Love it.
I like that it’s simple and intuitive to use while adding very little bulk/weight to the iPad.
