It’s a little carrying case for your everyday iPad essentials, and it is designed to integrate with your iPd Smart Cover.

If you own an iPad with a Smart Cover or Case, then you know how much of a pain it is to use it as a stand for your iPad.

We hated that, so we figured out a way to turn the SurfacePad, or any other wallet-style iPhone case, into a working Smart Cover just like the iPad has. The hack doesn’t [Read More...]
Oddly enough, I bought the case for my iPad mini years ago, before even the full-sized iPad was a real thing that existed. It’s the back pocket of my jeans, and unless I’m sitting down or riding a bike, it’s just about perfect. And it’s even Smart Cover compatible.
