iPad 2 like cover for iPad?

November 12, 2011 9:10 PM

iPad 2 like iPad cover? I was on the train and saw a guy with an iPad. The cover folded over like an iPad 2 cover, with the difference being that the entire back was a plastic case that snapped on. Does anyone know where to find this?

I've seen a lot of fake Smart Covers on Amazon UK. They're pretty clearly being sold as the genuine article (although for a fraction of the price), but buyers complain that there's actually a transparent case with a cover attached, and that the quality is pretty bad.

As an alternative, you might want to consider something like this, where someone has simply added magnets to the original iPad to accommodate a Smart Cover.

Response by poster: I perhaps should have been more clear. I have an iPad, not an iPad 2, as did he. It's like a SmartCover with the difference that it required a case that needed to snap on the back to hold the front cover on.

Response by poster: Also, thank you, but no. I'm not about to glue some magnets on my iPad. :)

Oops, that one's only for iPad 2.

Best answer: I have that exact case on my iPad 1! It's the InCase Convertible Magazine jacket: http://goincase.com/products/detail/convertible-magazine-jacket-cl57779
