Wooden iPad 2 Cover Gives Apple’s Smart Cover a Run for Its Money

Holland-based company Miniot has developed a very pretty wooden iPad 2 cover, featured in the above video, which is just sleek and functional enough to give Apple’s own Smart Cover a run for its money. Miniot’s cover works similarly to the Smart Cover, as it snugly fits atop the iPad 2, cleanly rolls back to reveal the device’s screen, and rolls back even further into a cylindrical shape to prop up and support the device. Preorders for the Miniot Cover will begin today, costing €50, making it roughly the same price as the Smart Cover’s $69, and Miniot will provide free engraving along with the purchase.
