Apple Revamps Smart Cover Line
October 24, 2011
Apple today revamped its Smart Cover line for the iPad 2 for the very first time. Gone is the orange polyurethane cover, replaced with a dark gray model, among other tweaks. These changes, which are not yet reflected on Apple’s Smart Cover page, were first announced by Mac Rumors.
Changes include:
Interior color now matches exterior color. The interior side of the Smart Cover facing the iPad screen had previously been a uniform gray color on all models. Smart Covers are now a consistent color inside and out. More vibrant colors for polyurethane covers. Aside from the replacement of the orange cover with a dark gray one, sources indicate that the colors on the polyurethane models are now more vibrant. Polyurethane Smart Covers come in blue, green, pink, light gray, and dark gray. Color adjustment on navy leather cover. Apple offer five different leather Smart Covers, and sources reports that Apple has slightly tweaked the color on the navy version to make it "more navy" than the original version. All other colors (tan, black, cream, and red) remain unchanged.Despite the changes, the price for each Smart Cover remains unchanged; $39 for the polyurethane covers and leather ones for $69.
