iPad 2 is said to be incomplete without this good looking gadget. They come in various colors and either polyurethane or leather finish. Prices comparison:
Apple Store (US) | iShock.pl | |
Polyurethane | $ 39.00 (111,50 PLN) | 179 PLN |
Leather | $ 69.00 (196,65 PLN) | 279 PLN |
As you can see, even if you add 23% VAT to the prices on the left, Smart Covers ARE overpriced in Poland. Are they really worth their price? I don’t think so, because with Smart Cover your iPad will not be protected (besides the screen). You can buy a leather case for iPad for about the same price (or even cheaper), which protects entire device, and not only the screen. Granted, it’s not possible to use such case as a stand, but is it really necessary to have one?
This is how it is supposed to work (official apple video):
