Jony Ive, Senior Vice President of Design, gave some insight about the new Smart Cover design:"While the back of the product is made of durable aluminum, we wanted to figure out a way to protect the display without compromising the iPad size and weight. So, rather than developing a separate case, we created a cover at the same time that we were actually designing the iPad. The two are made to work together. It attached magnetically, aligns perfectly and it's just as easy to remove. When the iPad detects you've opened the cover, it immediately wakes from sleep, and when you close the cover it puts it back to sleep. You can also fold the cover to create a stand for typing or watching a video. And the microfiber internal lining is even designed to help keep the display clean."I can't wait to see some future DIY designs from iPad 2 owners. There's sure to be some who think they have a better cover or stand idea for those magnetic-friendly edges. Or maybe some will just stick to the bottle, book and box method.To get your hands on the newest iPad cover (and iPad 2), just visit the online store or nearest Apple location on March 11th. If you want to see the rest of the new features (I'm fine with just the cover) before deciding, check out the full video tour below.
