Some really cool choices! It's amazing how expensive simple sleeves are being sold for simply because they are for the iPad. Many reviewers complain about too tight of a fit for their iPad1s, so maybe they'll fit perfectly for the 2.
Got a tip for us?

I picked up the InCase Neoprene Sleeve Plus (soft blue) for $25.99 at bhphoto.com as well. After seeing what some people have already done to their iPad 2's with SmartCovers, I'd rather make sure mine gets toted inside of a sleeve that can handle small bumps.
I have the SmartCover as well, but I'm not absolutely thrilled with it. It's just okay. And seems REALLY overpriced at $40 for polyurethane that already has a nick/scratch (right out of the box) on it. Taking it back to BB tomorrow to swap it for one that's not defective.

I bought a carbon fiber backing, colcasac iPad 2 sleeve and the black leather smart case, should be here tomorrow.
So did you order the one that was specifically for the ipad 2 with smart cover? Does the smart cover slip or slide off when you're taking ipad out of (or putting it into) the case? Thanks. I ordered the Austin model.
The colcasac looks awesome but also looks a little bit bulky.
I mentioned in another thread that I bought a Booq sleeve and it works perfectly (ipad 2 + smart cover although it would work without smart cover as well)

Thanks for the code! I'm still undecided on the Uintah vs Hanakapiai. Anyone know why the Uintah is priced $5 more, when it looks identical to the others?
Nevermind, one is heavier than the other. Thanks again for the discount code.

I have the same concern but their return policy is generous so I'm giving it a shot. Also, the one I ordered seems a better style for my hippie GF.

Just put in an order for this one on eBay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170610811182&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT. My Incase sleeve is decent, but I like this case because of the option to carry accessories as well plus I prefer a zipper sleeve.
Go to TJ Maxx or Marshalls! they have "netbook" incase neoprene sleeves that fit the ipad & smart case, with a little wiggle room, $14.99
Good point. Buddy of mine picked up an Incase for my 15" MB Pro from there for $15.
I haven't bought the iPad2 yet but I plan to use the same sleeve I used for the original iPad. I have this eco-friendly sleeve http://www.plaiddoctrine.com/shop/details/000000004/ipad_sleeve
and love it because of the pockets (it can hold a charger, headphones, phone, and a small notebook!). It's made in the US too.
Here's a review on iLounge, although I think the price is wrong (it's cheaper now):

That's the same one I bought for the exact same reason. Except I ordered it from Amazon.
Mine accessories just came in
Butters, link for the back SurfaceSkin on the ipad.
.
Here's a link to juststickitskins' ebay store. I purchased the black leather and already received it. The item description doesn't state that it's Surface Skins but that was what was received so I'm assuming all of the skins he's selling are Surface Skins.

Butters, I'm really curious what's behind those green dots in your pictures!!!
