As the rumour mill continues to grind out iPad 2 related speculation, images have appeared of what is reportedly an iPad 2 case, all but confirming rear-camera inclusion for the upcoming tablet.

The ‘Crystal Case for iPad 2nd Generation’ has appeared from Chinese accessories manufacturer Shenzhen MacTop Electronics featuring an aperture ready for a rear-facing camera similarly positioned and sized to that found on the iPhone.

Looking fit to support a device slightly slimmer than the currently available iPad, the claimed iPad 2 case appears to have a cutaway area allowing for easy access to additional connectivity options. Whilst it is strongly hoped that the second gen iPad will sport a USB port, many industry experts had ruled out its inclusion on the much mooted device as Apple favour its seamless design characteristics.

Although the iPad 2 is believed to be a number of months away from entering the realms of reality, the Crystal Case for iPad 2nd Generation has offered a potentially tantalising insight into the expected Apple tablet.
