What Is This Weird Opening On These Alleged iPad 2 Cases? [Rumor]

It really is alleged to be an iPad 2 case, now for sale in bulk by a Chinese case manufacturer. Surprisingly, the design’s top right opening is in keeping with the rear-facing camera rumor. But what’s that hole on the lower left corner?

That’s where the speakers are now, however seems strategy to big for them. It should be something else. Kodawarisan says that it really is for the rumored SD camera card slot, however it’s way too big for that too. In spite of everything, I’m very curious now.

The $2-$4 cases are only available for bulk sale from a Chinese company, with a minimum 1,000-unit order.

Historically, Chinese manufacturers always get a jumpstart in terms of make skins and cases for future Apple iOS devices. My guess is that they get the physical specs early from the low level operators at the factories that make Apple goods from unicorn ponies and babies. With a rumored February 2011 and a likely April 2011 launch , the iPad 2 specs are almost definitely already loaded and able to go.

In any case, interesting. [ Shenzhen MacTop Electronics and Kodawarisan via MacRumors ]
