Apple's new $49 iPad Smart Case covers both front and back

Apple now offers a new $49 Smart Case for the iPad that covers not only the touchscreen display, but also the aluminum back of its tablet.

The new iPad smart case is in stock and available to purchase from Apple's online store. Apple's description notes that it covers both the front and back of the device, but retains the thin and light design of the iPad.

"Like the Smart Cover, it folds easily into a stand for reading, typing, and watching video," the description reads. "And it automatically wakes and sleeps iPad on open and close."

The new iPad Smart Case is made from polyurethane and is available in six colors: light gray, dark gray, blue, green, pink, and (PRODUCT) Red.

Apple also offers free laser engraving with the iPad Smart Case. Users can personalize the case with a free message etched onto the back when ordered from the Apple Online Store.

I'm still glad I was able to grab the orange Smart Cover after I heard they'd discontinued it.

 

I don't have an iPad that can use it, but maybe someday.

You know that Samsung is going to steal Apple's patent on covering both sides of a tablet.

Don't be purposely inflammatory.

That's a pretty cool case, plus it is an insulator and protects it if you drop it.

Why would you want an insulator?  I know we don't want to keep the heat in.
