Newly surfaced iPad 2 case shows locations for possible SD card, mini DisplayPort

via AppleInsider
The only real leaks for the iPad 2's form factor have been in the way of iPad 2 cases, and the latest set have emerged. The new cases show what look to be an opening for a new SD Card slot and another that could be a Mini DisplayPort opening.

The case also has an opening for a rear-facing camera, which is reportedly pretty much a done deal, and the SD card slot has been rumored before. The Mini DisplayPort is new news, but when compared to other possibilities, such as a USB port, it's the only one that comes to mind.

It's also been rumored that Apple would add HDMI to the upcoming iPad 2. Since the Mini DisplayPort jacks that Apple includes on its MacBook and desktop Mac products also support HDMI, it would make sense that Apple would add that rather than a "plain old" HDMI port.
