If you happen to be one of the lucky ones who managed to purchase an iPad 2, and maybe a smart cover, you must now be nervous every time someone touches it, as the delicate aluminum back is a magnet for scratches and scrapes. No need to worry, a slew of case makers already launched countless iPad 2 covers, to keep your device in pristine condition, while giving it some flair.
Here is a selection of the best cases we’ve seen thus far.
Speck ComfyShell
The ComfyShell is a new case from case maker Speck. Designed to protect your iPad from major accidents, it comes with a removable soft cushion that doubles as a sleeve. $49.95.
Cygnett Armour
If you’re in the market for a thin, lightweight, yet stylish case, the Cygnett Armour is for you. This form-fitting, double-strength shield will clasp firmly around your device, to protect it form accidental scratches and drops. It also doubles as a stand, offering three positions for viewing your iPad, plus a fourth position for stable typing. $50.
Booqpad Agenda
The Booqpad is a great case for professionals, as it comes with a legal pad for taking notes – taking notes on an iPad is not always as easy as it seems! It comes in 5 different colors, and will allow you to take your brand new iPad with you while on the job. $49.95.
Proporta Leather Protective Sleeve
The Proporta Leather Protective sleeve is made out of leather, to give your device an upscale look. It comes with half zipper on the front to allow you to slide your iPad 2 in and out. $47.95.

The Targus 360 case is a great case that doubles as a stand. The case is made out of rigid plastic, and the inside of the case is covered with a scratch resistant cloth. The iPad 2 can be rotated in either portrait or landscape mode, and when turned into a stand, the case offers three different viewing angles, to allow you to watch movies, type emails, or simply browse the web. $59.99.
DODOcase
DODOcase took its original iPad case back to the drawing board, and redesigned it to fit the iPad 2 like a glove. The case is handcrafted by book binding artisans in San Francisco, and offers a tight fit, to keep the device secured. The frame of the case is made out of bamboo, and the lining inside the case is made out of Moroccan cloth, to prevent scratches. All the buttons and ports of the iPad 2 are still accessible when the iPad 2 is secured inside the case. The case is also thick enough to double as a stand, and it can be folded to allow you to read or watch a movie. It comes in 11 colors, and costs $59.95. Great for readers.
Grove Bamboo Case
Just like theDODOcase, the Grove Bamboo case is made out of bamboo. The case looks amazing, and comes with its own smart cover, able to put the iPad 2 to sleep when closed, just like the Apple-branded-one. The case also doubles as a stand, and comes with the design of your choice. $79.
