Connect Design is South Korean company that boasts a collection of unique products with designs that can be best described as eccentric and quirky. The company’s line of merchandise includes books, fashions, and items for the home, like plates and dishes. Connect Design also offers many accessories for the iPhone, and now some for the iPad/iPad2 have made their way into the mix.

In addition to marketing the “iCoat” by Ozaki, the company introduces their own Connect Design cases including the “Smart Sleeve” ($49). It may look like a basic tablet sleeve, but similar to a pop-up tent this innovative design folds from a flat position to create a tablet stand for supporting your device at 22° and 45° angles. It is available in three different colors: bright orange-red, dark brown and ivory.

Unlike most traditional tablet stand cases that are built for use on a level surface, the “Smart Sleeve” is ideal for propping the iPad or iPad 2 while resting comfortably on your lap. Like a piece of origami, this one-of-a-kind accessory is certain to attract many to buy Connect Design tablet cases.

Smart Stand Sleeve from Connect Design takes your breath away at first glance. This innovative tablet sleeve is made of durable materials to keep your precious Apple iPad 2 safe from damaging impacts and bumps. Built-in magnets will keep the case shut with the tablet neatly tucked inside when not in use.

The most attractive feature of the new case is its folding capabilities. Take a look at the scheme below to learn how to turn this Apple iPad 2 case into a convenient tablet stand with various viewing angles. The built-in magnets come into play here too: keeping the case straight up in a stand position.

The Smart Stand Sleeve can accommodate a wide range of tablets including the Apple iPad, iPad 2, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and others. On top of its revolutionary design and functionality the new case delivers great looks, which guarantee to turn a couple of envious heads your way. The case comes in orange red, dark brown and ivory colors.

The case can be yours for $49.
