I've ordered a Cyber Acoustics (Maroo) case and while waiting for it to arrive hopefully at the end of this week, my daughter showed me that my spare ipad case works on the ipad 2. Well works 98% I suppose, since the rear camera is blocked and the cover doesn't have any magnets. (For some reason I thought the ipads were different sizes so I never even tried it in the previous case.)
I think overall the CA/Maroo case is pretty nice but I've just been using it for one night. It is nice and soft, seems to offer a lot of protection to the ipad, and doesn't add much thickness or weight. It sets nicely in the viewing position and typing position, although if you move it around a lot in the typing position the lid doesn't stay hooked under the tab. I had looked at a few cases that had tongues on the lid, the tongue sticks through a loop when in the viewing/typing position and I think this would hold the pieces in place better while moving them around, balanced with the awkwardness of the tongue at other times.
My wife was giving me a hard time for buying the case online vs. going to the local BestBuy store. (Her boss just got an ipad along with a case from BestBuy and she thinks it is a nicer case than my Maroo. I don't agree at this point.) I looked at lots of cases and all had different qualities, the Maroo case seems to have more of the qualities I was looking for, protection being high on my list.
I'll try to post photos when my actual ipad2 case arrives.
