Incase Outs iPad 2 Mag Snap Case To Tame Your Smart Cover

Incase has just released a new Smart Cover compatible case for the iPad 2 that will answer one of your most frustrating Smart Cover problems to date. The new Mag Snap Case for the iPad 2 is just like any other Smart Cover compatible protective cover, but with one big difference. Embedded on the back side are two metal strips that keep your Smart Cover magnetically clinged to the back so it doesn't just dangle loosely while you use your iPad 2. It also enables you to use an additional viewing angle using your Smart Cover other than the much steeper landscape viewing angle it has to offer. The Mag Snap Case is available now in black and white for $39.95.

Maglus Aluminum Stylus Is Magnetically Awesome

What looks to be the newly found half brother of the AluPen stylus, is the Maglus aluminum stylus for the iPad 2. What so different about the Maglus stylus is that you probably will never lose it as it's magnetic and can attach to the front and back of your iPad 2. Using a Smart Cover? Not a problem, it can attach to that too. Where can you get this magical stylus you ask? Well it's currently being funded over at Fund It, similar to Kickstarter, and it will retail for €24.99 (that's about $36), but if you help fund the Maglus via Fund It, you can grab a Maglus stylus for €15 (about $22). Check out the Maglus in action right after the cut.
