Ch-ch-ch-Changes: Apple Reshuffles Smart Cover Lineup, Axes Orange
Posted in: Accessories and Peripherals, Apple, ipad, Today's Chili
Before and after. Orange disappears just in time for pumpkin season
If you want an orange Smart Cover for your iPad 2, you’d better hurry to a third-party reseller and buy one now — Apple has discontinued the fruit-flavored plastic cover in a reshuffle of the Smart Cover lineup.
As you can see in the before and after picture above, the presumably unpopular orange has gone, replaced by a dark gray polyurethane version. This means that the dull and unadventurous buyer will no longer be forced to pay for an expensive leather cover if they want to express their inner insipidness.
The pink, green and blue covers seem to have been brightened up a little, but that may just be the product shot.
If you don’t already have a Smart Cover, I recommend a plastic one. They can be scrubbed clean both sides with soap and water, and they don’t cost $70.
