This smart cover features a clear pocket as its star element and is made of soft, lightweight PVC. Its name, “Alettone”—which refers to the part of an aircraft’s wings called an aileron—was inspired by the way the flap of the cover folds neatly over, much like an aileron folds during flight. While the design has a refined and understated color palette that gives it a sense of elegance, the soft PVC material keeps it light and comfortable to carry. The cover opens and closes with a snap button, and its versatile, minimalist style suits any user or setting.
