The latest iPad 2 cases to appear online have cutouts for two new ports, according to AppleInsider and M.I.C Gadget.

"We got a look on the new iPad 2 case, and surprisingly, it features two new holes, one in the upper left (when viewed from the front) and the another in the upper-middle", says
M.I.C Gadget.

However, unlike the previous "alibaba" cases, the newest case design to surface shows a very distinct cutout on the rear upper left corner (a blank area on the current iPad) that appears to be consistent with the size of an SD Card slot. The new case also depicts a cutout on the center of the top edge that appears to be the size of a mini DisplayPort jack, located between the camera hole and the headphone port, reports AppleInsider.

Engadget recently reported that the iPad 2 would feature an SD card slot giving some credence to these reports.

At first glance, I thought it was the rumoured MagSafe charger. A Mini Display Port makes no sense at all. It also could be just an opening for better Wifi/3G like in the old iPod Touchs, which would make sense due iPads horrible Wifi.
