That Bear Motion looks great for the money...anyone know if it has a stylus holder?

mattburley7 · Mar 8, 2012, 08:43 PM

I just did!

lamonsas · Mar 8, 2012, 09:12 PM

Its a nice case right John? i mean it looks pretty awesome. what do u think?

Maximus831 · Mar 8, 2012, 09:14 PM

I just ordered the Incipio Lexington but can't figure out if the back is made out of plastic, leather, or a combination of plastic and leather. Anyone know?

puckhead193 · Mar 8, 2012, 09:19 PM

are there any smart cover cases like the apple one but not at the apple premium. I have a blue one on my iPad 2 and for $70 it should have held up a lot better then it did.

benjones · Mar 8, 2012, 09:19 PM

Looks like plastic to me.

jjk454ss · Mar 8, 2012, 09:25 PM

What seems better/different about the Lexington than the STM Skinny? Anything? They seem similar and the Skinny was a great case, so I assume this is as well. Only I never liked the flap/tab.

mattburley7 · Mar 8, 2012, 09:28 PM

ugh im probably gonna have to wait till after march 16 to order a case and my ipad will be here by than already

i really want a switch easy case but was told they wouldnt be out till after the release date for the new ipad.

I remember the STM skinny having the belt loop flap get really loose after awhile.

This incipio seems to have a thIcker belt loop

Will post back with feeback once I get the case...for $34 shipped its worth a shot

Yeah, not a bad price at all. Let us know how you end up liking it. Is Incipio planning on shipping before the new iPad?

lamonsas · Mar 8, 2012, 09:43 PM

It doesnt look like plastic it looks like polyurethane

I wish places would have them to us ahead of time. Oh well.

lamonsas · Mar 8, 2012, 09:47 PM

The Skinny for iPad 3 has coverage for all sides of the iPad now, which was the only big thing that annoyed me. I like the colors better from STM, and the buckle/loop seems less intrusive than on the Lexington. The flap looks annoying, but I'd rather have a way to secure it shut than not. Preordering like whoa.

STM Skinny for iPad 3 (in Berry, to be specific).

OH, also! Coupon code for RadTech — 20% off:

/shrug. Still works. Shipping for me is 4.50, so 36 total for back and front protection is lovely. Have to wait about two weeks to get it, but I've got a slipcover til then. Or I'll buy a cheapo one at BBY.

Zonacidal · Mar 8, 2012, 10:10 PM

I wonder if Best Buy is going to have cases for the new iPad available next week.

Did they have them available last year? There was that story floating around that they had loads of VersaVu cases for iPad 3 at their warehouses.

Apparently, some have Targus cases already.

Great thread! On my Ipad2 I had a smart cover and a GreatShield back cover and I really liked it. Good protection that I would buttress with a neoprene zip bag when I travelled. It's nice to have an option to take off the smart cover when you're at home and want a more organic feel for your Ipad.

Any chance that you know if the Lexington's insides are plastic or suede? I want to buy but I am weary is the inside (where the iPad's back is placed) is plastic. I don't want it to mar up the back of the iPad.

I was thinking about switcheasy canvas, but it looks to bulky for me. Trying to decide between the STM Skinny or the Lexington.

Thanks.

Says right on the page it's suede on the inside.

Ah! Thanks, must have missed it.. Just had like 15 tabs of cases open. Haha. Now coming the hard part - STM Skinny or Lexington. I'm leaning towards the Lexington!
