iFrogz hops on iPad 2 cases

Peripheral and accessory maker iFrogz has announced three new cases designed with Apple’s iPad 2 in mind. iFrogz might be a little late to the game for issuing iPad 2 peripherals, but that company’s style and design won it fans with first-generation iPad owners—and since the iPad 2 can still be hard to get, they may not have missed the window of opportunity by very much.

“Our new line of protective iPad 2 cases continues our tradition of innovation and puts us at the forefront of providing protection and style for Apple products,” said iFrogz owner and CEO Scott Huskinson, in a statement. “The styles, designs and price-points are all driven by user feedback.”

The BackBone is a snap-in one-piece polycarbonate case with a Luxe finish—and it’s even compatible with Apple’s own magnetic Smart Cover. The case protects the iPad while still providing access to all ports and sensors—and users can unsnap the Backbones and fold it to ask as a stand. The Backbone will be available in 12 colors matching Apple’s own Smart Covers for $34.99.

The Summit will initially be available in green/black and white/black for a suggested price of $59.99—iFrogz says more colors are coming soon.

Yet another iOS update is ready, and this one is important. The iOS 18.2 beta 2 update is live, and it's a big deal for a couple of reasons. It's available to more people than the previous beta, and it indicates another step toward iOS 18.2's public launch.

The first version of this beta was only available to people whose phones supported Apple Intelligence, but this latest version works with any phone that can update to iOS 18. Addditionally, iOS 18.2 beta 2 is only available to developer beta testers. There isn't a public beta at the moment, and we have no word on when one might release. Still, it's good to see that more people are included this time around.
