Apple should learn to simply never release anything in Orange. It's not the first time they've discontinued a product in that color range (Tangerine, anyone?).
The adjustments here, while fairly minor, look nice to me. If I were to get an iPad finally (I wish I could justify one now), I'd certainly appreciate these changes to the designs.

I don't understand why they got rid or Orange, of course it's not everyone's favourite.. but come on the bright colours are great!
I bought an Orange smart cover just before they were phased out.

I don't know... that case looks like it doubles the thickness of the iPad. There is something to be appreciated about a case that covers just the screen while making it as thin as possible.

As mentioned by others, this article is not correct. The leather covers have had matching interior and exterior colors since launch day. I have a black cover and my wife has a navy cover
Only the polyurethane covers had gray interiors.

The What's your favorite Smart Cover color? poll has been updated to reflect the discontinued orange choice and the new dark gray choice.
I don't think Apple made this change based on our poll at MacRumors since orange was ahead of green, pink, cream, tan, and navy.
Black and red are the leaders there.

why would they discontinue the orange? there was no good reason. Even if they sell few they still are selling.
i wish this was the only problem with the smartcover, it also doesn't clean but leave really really annoying stripes on the display that u can barely swipe away with a tissue
I have been using the Toblino 2 for 6 months and have nothing but good things to say! It has great reviews on Amazon...
poor orange... it was the first and only color i considered for mine. also amazing how many naysayers there are for the covers function. i'm oh so impressed by the ability to flip it open and be 'on' - fold it back.. have a stand.. easily rip it off if going commando... it's one of the best designed accessories in my eyes.
Maybe I just live on an island, but the dozen or so people I see with an iPad all use a black leather cover. I'm glad I got the laser engraving on the back of my iPad!

Note to Apple:
Start licensing sport team/college logos on the cover. You might find people dumping their plain solid color cover for one or two more featuring their favorite team/college.
Just a thought.

Is my orange cover a collectible item now?
Thinking the same. I love my orange cover and if I ever have to replace it I'll be sad mite go to a reseller and get a spare.

Yeah absolutely! I bought a tangerine a few years back - had wanted one for many years more, and it is awesome; why anyone would discontinue something orange is beyond me!
