Take your protection beyond smart to brilliant with this elegant, multi-purpose accessory for iPad 2 and the new iPad. This innovative case has a hard-shell back and a firm, flexible cover that transforms into a sturdy platform for typing or an upright viewing stand. Simply pull the cover backward, pinch the sides so they fold into a triangle, and slide the cover into the back flap. Now the case can be used as either a stable typing platform or as a solid stand for watching videos horizontally. Full access is available to the charging port so you can keep your iPad 2 or the new iPad completely protected when it's powering up. The Convertible Platform Case also features a microsuede lining that helps keep the screen clean when you remove and replace the front cover.
