I almost never use earbuds with my iPad 2 and usually just rely on its speaker. The sound from the iPad 2 is okay, but the speaker is on the back. The sound is directed away from me, and I usually find I’m holding my hand cupped around the back of the iPad 2 to direct the sound toward the front. The SmartSound iPad 2 case from Cygnett has a little “scoop” built in to the bottom to direct the sound to the front for you – resulting in a volume increase of up to 10dB, effectively doubling the iPad 2’s volume. The case protects the back and sides, and it’s compatible with the Apple Smart Cover. It’s available in black or in a translucent white for $39.99 at Micro Center in the US. Check the Cygnett webpage for world-wide distributors.

Great review Janet! Our company http://www.udsproducts.com is about to introduce a new iPad accessory that will greatly improve the sound and it works with the smart cover and most of the cases on the market. We will keep you informed and send you a sample for review. Thanks again for the great review and have a good one. Cheers!!
