Pictures of Apple’s new Smart Case for the iPad

When Apple introduced the iPad 2, the company also brought with it the Smart Cover, which protects the iPad’s screen and provides a nice stand for the tablet. Unfortunately, the Smart Cover doesn’t protect the entire tablet.

This week, Apple finally introduced a version of the Smart Cover that wraps around the entire device, dubbed the Smart Case. It still works like the Smart Cover, but now the rear is covered as well. The Smart Case comes in a variety of shades, runs for $49 at the Apple Store, and comes with free laser engraving. For more details, check out our original coverage of Apple’s new Smart Case.

YouTube TV just got even better on iPhones and iPads
Multiview on YouTube TV on an iPad.

If you use the most popular live-streaming service on an iPhone or iPad, things just got even better. YouTube TV — which boasts more than 8 million subscribers — just pushed multiview live on Apple's mobile devices, as previously promised.

It works basically the same way it does on a television. YouTube TV picks the programs available in multiview, and you get them all at once, with audio coming from one of the shows. Tap another, and the audio switches. And just as before, you can get multiview for sports, news, business, or weather. (Though we definitely don't recommend watching four news channels at once in an election year.)

This will be great come fall, though, when the new season of NFL Sunday Ticket takes hold.
