Apple Introduces iPad mini Smart Covers For $39
Apple updated its website to let us know that the Smart Cover would also be available for the newly announced 7.9 inch iPad mini.
The iPad mini Smart Cover is largely similar to the larger iPad Smart Cover with the same magnetic attaching and hinging mechanism, except that it seems to be available only in polyurethane, as opposed to the larger Smart Cover which comes in both, polyurethane and leather.
Another difference between the two covers is the absence of metal in the hinge of the iPad mini Smart Cover. This lets the entire color wrap around the edge of the device, maintaining uniformity all across the front, while the back remains exposed.
The iPad mini Smart Cover is available in six colors – pink, green, blue, light gray, dark gray and (PRODUCT) RED.
The covers aren’t on sale yet, and will presumably be available for pre-order on October 26 along with the iPad mini.
