It’s just a cover! And you’re right, AntiLawsuit, everybody wants to have a bite of the Apple pie.

The law around patents just seems ridiculous to me.

Apple functions like any other multinational corporation. just because a company is the biggest and the most profitable does not make them the most nobel. stealing, culling and pillaging the creativity of others, who may be perceived as inconsequential, insignificant or weak is common in big business. how could Apple not know there was an existing patent of this kind? dont they have a huge research and legal department who is highly paid for their expertise to cover their behinds in matters of this nature? Perhaps they knew the patent existed and produced it anyway in hopes that it would go unnoticed. Apple needs to focus on making computers and technology not soft goods such as computer cases. as a life long Apple user and supporter the aluminum case which houses my Macbrook Pro , sucks and has been recalled , as well as the battery and the power port…shall i go on? I’ll make my own computer bag or ipad case, Apple just make a good product that doesnt fall apart in the first 6 months of purchase.

The Smart Cover has grooves to fold and that’s about it. There are bound to be hundreds of cases of prior art here.

That Idea has hundreds of years!
