I told you today that Apple is preparing the launch of an iPad tablet with a magnetic sensor, which will close the tablet when it is covered by a case. Well, I was close because Apple launched SmartCover, a kind of special cover for iPad with magnetic closure, which together with the proximity sensor and iOS 4.3 can lock/unlock the tablet. The new cover has some magnets mounted that adjust themselves on the surface of the tablet to cover it properly. When the cover covers the front of the screen, the tablet locks automatically, and when the cover is lifted from the screen, the tablet unlocks.
The new cover has a microfiber lining that when closed cleans the screen of impurities so we will have a clean screen all the time. The covers will be available in 2 versions, one made of plastic, which costs $39, and one made of a special material, which costs $69. The cover can also be transformed into a stand for watching movies or for typing, so it will be a multifunctional accessory for iPad 2.
