Apple patents a Smart Cover with flexible display

Apple got it right when he developed the Smart Cover conducting a design never seen that also took advantage of magnets placed on the iPad to lock the device when closed. When presented the new iPad also presented the Smart Case , a Smart Cover of "whole body". A great accessory, it seems, Apple thinks it can improve. How? For adding a flexible display.

That is precisely what we see on a patent that has been made public today. The documentation of the patent we see a Smart Cover will continue hooking the iPad using magnets, but that in turn includes a connector (we assume that the MagSafe connector style incorporating Apple laptops) that will enable the built-in screen founded receive data and display the information. Needless to say, the screen will be flexible to keep some current features of the Smart Cover.

In this second picture we see the screen folded making support, and as shows the controls for playing multimedia content. Some applications that may be seen in the drawings are adding additional rows of icons, a virtual keyboard like the one with the Microsoft Surface or a drawing surface, as seen in Figure 6.

In short, an idea exchange carried out fully the world of iPhone accessories. It is clear that not all the patents that are carried out, moreover, this same patent was filed a year ago, but until now had not been public. What I wonder is: if the current Smart Cover is priced at 39 euros in cheaper version, this case with integrated flexible screen, do not cost more than the iPhone itself? What do you think?
