Apple Outs Smart Case For iPad

Apple has released a new iPad accessory today called the Smart Case that's made out of polyurethane and is a hybrid of a Smart Cover and the original iPad Case that protects the iPad from back to front while retaining the thin design of the iPad. The Smart Case folds into a viewing and typing stand just like a Smart Cover and many other third party cases that have come out long ago. Apple's Smart Case for the iPad features integrated button covers and cutouts for all ports including the back facing camera. The magnet-embedded cover automatically wakes and puts the iPad to sleep. Apple's Smart Case fits both the iPad 2 as well as the iPad 3rd Gen and is available now in six vibrant colors for $49.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Desperately Wants A Smart Cover Of Its Own

Although these Smart Cover rip-offs that were made for Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 weren't really approved by Samsung from the start, that didn't stop their accessory maker, Anymode, from bluntly copying Apple's iconic Smart Cover in exact colors and material offerings. Anymode's excuse was that their Smart Case for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 didn't use the iPad 2's and Apple's Smart Cover magnetic functionality. Samsung has already pulled the accessory made by Anymode even before Apple had the chance to get involved. I've got a feeling that you'll still be able to find these exact Smart Cover look-alikes for your Galaxy Tab 10.1 somewhere on eBay. Smart Covers make any tablet look good.
