If you ever find yourself wishing your iPad 2 had better speakers, this Kickstarter project may be what you’re looking for.
The Sound Cover from onanoff serves multiple purposes. First, it provides a leather wrap-around case for your iPad, giving it protection from the the daily abuse that can come the way of a device you carry all the time. Second, it folds into a stand to help you get the perfect viewing angle for whatever you’re doing. Finally, and most notably, it contains flat NXT stereo speakers that can boost the the iPad 2’s volume by up to 300%.
The case packs a 1600mAh battery with USB recharging that lasts 12+ hours, and provides the same automatic sleep/wake functionality as Apple’s own Smart Cover. There are three case colors (black, red , and blue) and two different connectivity versions, one with a cable connection for sound at the $110 level, and one with Bluetooth at the $165 level.
If a serious upgrade to your iPad’s sound that doesn’t sacrifice portability is on your wish list be sure to check out this Kickstarter project.
