When we first saw the iPad 2 Smart Cover, we thought it was pretty neat.
However, a small company from Holland called Miniot has taken the idea and used wood to create a beautiful alternative, and it looks amazing.
The cover is made with a single piece of wood and can be used as a stand in similar ways to Apple’s Smart Cover, thanks to the handy lines cut into the wood which allow it to roll up. The only downside is that when it’s in portrait, it looks like you’ll knock your iPad over quite easily. It sure is a thing of beauty, though.

The Miniot Cover for iPad 2 is available to order from March 25. Prices start at €50/$69 plus shipping.

Looks fantastic. But would love to see a demo video of the cover being magnetically attached to the iPad. Curious to how that works without a hinge. If it works just as good as the smart cover why not show it off in the video?
