I was just wondering if anybody had seen any cases yet for ipad 2?

and does the ipad come with its own dedicated charger or do i have to plug in to my MBP everytime?
 
Probably not given the fact that the iPad 2 isn't out yet.

Amazon has a couple of the Targus cases in stock right now. With Prime 2-day shipping you could have the case a full day before you get the iPad. :D

I also just found that Handhelditems.com has some TPU and Silicone cases available for the iPad 2. Shows in stock and ready to ship.

$10 for a TPU case, and I bet there is a coupon code out there somewhere.

Just ordered the Targus 360 case. I just don't want to start out with nothing on the Ipad 2. This along with the iChair case should be all I need.

It comes with an adapter for the USB so you don't have to plug it in to your MBP everytime.

I ordered an Incase Sleeve via eBay last week and it arrived yesterday. I'm satisfied with that until I see more cases.
 
Picked up the TPU case! $10 shipped isn't too bad. Gives me something to start with at least.
 
This may be a stupid question, but are we sure of the fitment of these cases? Does Apple let some case manufacturers have a sneak peak in order to design a case that will fit?

I don't want to order it and then it not fit. Even at $10.
 
I bought the Targus 360 Stand/Case from Amazon on Saturday and to my delight, with 2-day shipping, it arrived yesterday (Monday, March 7th). It looks like it's going to be a great case. The rotating mechanism seems to work well and I really like the blue interior.

Excellent, mine should be in Thursday. I feel much better having a solid case option for day 1.

Ordered mine Sunday night. Still waiting for shipping notification from Amazon :(. On the positive side applied my points to the purchase and only paid $25 for it ;)
 
I've been looking around and I'm thinking I'll go with this one:

The last iteration (for the original iPad) was highly praised:

I like the idea of thin (not bulky), professional, and flexible.

That seems to be a really popular design for iPad cases, but I don't like it. I just don't like the cases that have half of the back come off in landscape view.

Does the case fold flat, for handheld use? It doesn't show in any of the pictures I've seen online.
 
The Grove Bamboo Case has a lovely bamboo casing, & smart cover! I'm definitely considering it. I have one for my iPhone. The only problem I have with it is the lack of protection. It's beautiful, but breaks easily.

I have to say those started to grow on me. I would assume that you could pre-order now and then customize later once they have that part of the site working. Would like to see more pix. Tough to get a complete picture of the design.
