    While the Apple Smart Cover is a cool cover, there is no protection for the back of your iPad 2. Griffin Technology released their IntelliCase brand case that provides a smart cover and a protective back in one.

    As you can see the IntelliCase opens up to reveal the back and front pieces. You simply snap your iPad 2 into the glossy plastic side of the case.

    As you can see, the back of the case has a matte finish. The center opening is where you slide in the front flap to prop up the case in a low or high viewing position.

    The front of the IntelliCase also has a matte finish and as you can see there are three panels that bend, compared to the four panels on the Apple Smart Cover.

    There are cutouts for all openings in the IntelliCase.
