What case do you have for your iPad?

I have a nice new iPad :) Got it this case which is nice but I find a bit bulky and seems to make it harder to type as the edge gets in the way of my fingers. Also have a pound land silicon case which is better for that but doesnt protect it (took it away with me before other case came and wrapped it in a tea towel and put it in its bag from the Apple shop Grin)

So does anyone have a case that allows easy typing but does protect it? Am loath to buy an apple cover but is it what I need? They dont look like they would be suitable for protecting a travelling iPad either really. Did see these and was wondering if they would be good for transporting.

I have one of these www.amazon.co.uk/Invision®-IPAD-SMART-COVER-LEATHER/dp/B005ERZ9PA/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top and it works brilliantly.

Thank you :) That does look like it might meet my criteria :) I see it says it is for iPad2 - mine is an iPad 3 - do you think there are any noticeable differences between the two versions that would make it fit badly?

I got an unbranded version of this www.zagg.com/accessories/logitech-ipad-2-keyboard-case, going for between £25-£32

It's a Bluetooth keyboard that is also a case

I have this which fits my iPad3 perfectly (and activates the sleep/wake thingy), came the next day and also the free stylus is fab.

I think I'm happy without a "proper" keyboard although some of my typos might indicate otherwise Grin

I have a hard back cover and a compatible smart cover and mine has been dropped etc and been fine. I have an iPad 2 and a 3 and the covers are fine for both some ate a bit snug but ok.

People keep replying as I reply Grin. Do like the look of that case SoupDragon - how thick is it around the bottom part ie does it restrict typing at all?

It doesn't restrict typing only my incompetence does that as it's probably only 1.5mm thick.

QED · 11/04/2012 21:31

That sounds good (the thickness rather than any of your incompetence :))

Soupdragon's one looks great! I have this one, for an iPad2, and love it. Would've got SDs one if it had been out then!

That's a great site soupdragon I have the Piel Frama in Fuschia for my ipad 1, but DH bought me a " I'm going to HK without you for a week present" of the new iPad. I need a cover to fit my new one, and I don't think he'll go for the pink one on the iPad her has inherited!
