Enhanced Smart Covers from Apple (3rd Gen)

[nlew]

Anyone waiting for the enhanced smart covers with the back protection?

The Apple site still only offers the ipad 2 cover (front only). The apple store says the ipad 2 cover will fit and I can return once the enhanced cover is released.

Does Apple typically release the covers the same time as the product? It doesn't make sense they recommend the ipad 2 cover during the preorder without the option of also preordering the enhanced smart cover.

For people that bought the ipad 2 on launch, was the smart cover announced at the same time?

Yep it was announced desame day and event.
The smart cover+back cover from apple was a rumor, and it seems it will stay a rumor and not come true.

Whats your source for a new cover coming out.

Furthermore where does it say you can return it for the new one.

A cover like this would be nice, but I don't know where you're getting your information from. I've only seen rumours...

I haven't seen a single bit of evidence for a new smart cover. If they wanted a full case for the iPad they would of made the iPad 2 smart cover more protective like the original iPad case. I think Apple are sticking with the original smart cover.
