How did the I pad’s cover works

A close on how I pad’s cover works

So you just have picked I pad (second or third generation) and decided to add smart cover to the mix. If you that it was mix. If you thought it was magic that make device on and off every time when you open or close the cover you’re in for one major shocker!

The smart cover – available in leather and polyurethane variants-looks like really thin and feels really nice on you hands. The portion of the cover that touches the screen has microfibers that help protect the screen from dust and scratches. The cover folds and doubles up as a stand that holds the I pad upright. The smart cove also up into a stand that tilts the I pad at an angle enabling ease of typing. If you like to hold I pad. The smart cover can flip back in the same way in which you fold a magazine. If you want to you rear camera of I pad, the smart can be folded in half the expose the camera to use. You really don’t need to separate the smart cover from the device as you would with other third party covers.

If thought that these reasons are enough to call the smart cover “smart” think again. It is also wake up and put the device to sleep when open and closed. The technology behind the smart cover can be summarised in one word – magnets. There are an astonishing 21 magnets in the smart cover and 10 long slim magnet strips in the I pad. The long magnet on the I pad holds he smart cover on the device firmly, with the cover magnets when the magnets clipping to the left side of the I pad. Since the right side of cover doesn’t have any hook it sticks to the screen thanks to the magnet in the device and the cover.

What the right of the device does have sleep/wake sensors indicts with the magnet when the smart cover is put or removed.

As motioned earlier, the cover also folds and doubles up as a stands. Four of the strips on the front of the cover folds up to make a stands. On the rightmost strip of one these strips, there are 15 magnets that stick to a steel plate. This rests in the left most strips to form a triangular shape used to create a stand. This ensures the bond is strong when the cover is folded and supports the weight of the I pad. Natively the first generation of the I pad doesn’t supports smart cover as the idea of the smart cover is conceived with the second generation of I pad. These cover works on the third generation as well as second of the I pad. If you want to learn more about smart cover visit your nearest Apple Store.
