Why does Apple not have a Smart Cover for the iPhone?

[bandofbrothers]

As already said it wouldn't be practical.

In and out of pockets and hip holsters etc.

Nice idea tho.

I'm not entirely sure what technology Samsung uses for its Galaxy S3 and Note II. Both the Galaxy S3 and Note II have a "smart Cover", I would have to say magnet or it just comes with it. Apple could incorporate a magnetic left plate allowing a smart cover.

I don't think so.
A smart cover for iphone? It's too small cover...
I like some case or bumper for iphone like Mini Smart Case Cover For iPhone 5 is cool....

I'm not positive but wouldn't magnets probably not be a good idea to have up to your head all the time? I mean, it is an iPhone.

You notice they never show how thick it looks or how well it works with front cover flipped all the way to the back side? Or the woman in the picture with the white case is looking at her screen with the front cover covering it, instead of it flipped over? Even the video doesn't show the front cover flipped over to the back.

Wow, that video is one big "ad" for bad shiny lipstick.
