Any iPad 2 sleeves available yet?

[thibaulthalpern]

Well, I've gone through all the sleeves posted in this thread and the only one that really fits what I'm looking for is the Waterfield Design slipcase. The problem with all the other sleeves is that the added zipper or flap adds unnecessary bulk to the case. I would imagine that many of us who buy sleeves intend to put them in our handbags/messenger bags, and therefore don't really need something like a flap or zipper to secure the iPad 2. The external handbag and messenger bag already does that.

Unfortunately for me, I'm still not willing to buy the Waterfield Design slipcase because of the price! I'm going to look around at dollar stores and other places to see what I can find. If ultimately I don't find anything, then I'll get the Waterfield Design slipcase. If I had a sewing machine, I'd stitch together pieces of felt for a total cost of about $5 and be done with it!

I went with this iPad sleeve:

Got it for $19, but I see that it's priced slightly lower now. The front zipper pocket does not add much (if any) bulk to the case. I have all of my accessories lined up, but the iPad 2 is still in transit (should arrive early next week) so I will report back on the fit.

OK, finally got the perfect sleeve. This CaseCrown one: http://www.casecrown.com/ipad2/neoprene/ipad2-veritcal-neoprene-case-black

It's black, has very minimal branding, is thin, and fits iPad + (or -) Smart Cover like a glove.

It's not very thick, but I use my sleeve to protect my iPad when its in my bag, so that's not a problem at all.

If you go with this one, be sure to look for a coupon code.

You have pretty much described the Byrd & Belle felt sleeve:

except that it is $32.

I have the one for "iPad 2 with Smart Cover" and it is just what I need: a little extra protection when I want to put the iPad into a suitcase or backpack. It can also double as a soft mat to set the iPad on.

They have a version with a closure, but I don't think it is necessary.

Yeah, I just got my iPad 2 sleeve from ColcaSac, and its awesome! Fits perfectly with the smart case (you can also choose to get it to fit without the smart case). Went with this one: http://www.colcasac.com/ipad-sleeve/uintah-ipad-sleeve

The site says, "The Uintah is made with a natural dark taupe, heavy duty 20 oz hemp canvas." Hemp? You think you could get this trough airport security? From Wikipedia: "While more hemp is exported to the United States than to any other country, the United States Government does not consistently distinguish between marijuana and the non-psychoactive Cannabis used for industrial and commercial purposes."

I'll stick with neoprene.

Yo, guys! Just reviewed SGP's illuzion sleeve on my site (see sig!).

For those of you wanting a sleeve, this might do the trick!

I don't wish to sound stupid, but what's the difference between ipad1 and ipad2 sleeves? Won't most ipad2's with the screen protector fit in an ipad 1 sleeve?

Very likely, but you may want to check, because the iPad 1 is considerably thicker than an iPad 2, so there could be possible unwanted movement in an iPad 1 case.

$30 or so - works well with cover and shell

Did you pick the one with smart cover or the one without?
How much does it weigh?
