Your iPad can be more audible with smart Sound Cover

By Prince Osuagwu

There's no shortage of options for those looking to add some extra audio sound to their iPad. From the multitude of docks on offer to Bluetooth or Airplay-enabled wireless speaker systems. There are also the more portable options such as the Logitech Tablet Speaker or iLuv iSP150.

What a sound cover and how glamorous it can make the iPad become

However, the new Peter Hannes Olafsson product, Sound Cover, seems to be more compact and portable. It combines stereo speakers with iPad cover.
Inventor of the product,  Petur Hannes Olafsson, is a Hong Kong-based engineer who is seeking to raise funds via Kickstarter. He has managed to cram a pair of rechargeable stereo speakers into a thin iPad case by relying on NXT speaker technology. Unlike traditional speakers that rely on a combination of coils, magnets and cones to generate sound waves, NXT speakers use exciters to vibrate a flat panel instead. Integrating these speakers into a thin, durable ABS case that allows the sound cover to boost the volume of an iPad by up to 300 percent and improve the frequency response, while providing protection for the device when not in use.
The Sound Cover is powered by its own built-in 1600 mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery that boasts of a life of up to 12 hours and is charged via USB. The Sound Cover connects to an iPad through a jack and its volume is controlled from the iPad's controls.
Meanwhile, the manufacturers say there will also be a Bluetooth edition to provide a wireless audio connection. Like Apple's Smart Cover for the iPad 2, the cover also features in-built magnets to automatically put the tablet to sleep or wake it up when the cover is closed or opened.
