Some mentioned that Apple's Smart Cover would snuff out the third-party box market. When we initial saw the tidy alluring cover, we considered the conflicting - that case-makers would go funny with cold ways to use the magnets inside the iPad 2. And here's the initial unequivocally intelligent take we have seen: a wooden casing from Dutch firm Miniot.
The photo on top of is awful, so we suggest examination the video. The casing is a gaunt piece of cherrywood scored with grooves so that it can roll. On the inside face is a plush, soothing covering to pillow the screen, and there are magnets to grip the casing to the iPad's spine, and moreover to trigger the screen-lock.
The intelligent segment is its hingeless design, creation it even more minimal than Apple's own cover. Magnets are in the corner of the casing itself. To use it as a stand, you initial hurl (not fold) the casing back, and then pitch it around to the iPad's rear. Therefore positioned, it can grip the iPad up for movie-watching, or down roughly prosaic for typing.
Best of all, the box is cheap. At only 50, it is 20 reduction than Apple's tanned hide cover. If you're importing in to the U.S, it's not truly so good, translating to 71 of your U.S dollars. Available, apparently, from today.
