What are the case options for the iPad 3 right now? I was hoping to chose my case before the iPad 3 is released. I'm not sure what type of case I want as this is my first iPad. I think I want something that has the features of the smart case but that protects more of the iPad. Suggestions?
Got a tip for us?

You could buy a plastic back that's compatible with a Smart Cover?
Something like this: http://www.myincipio.com/iPad-2-Cas...-Smart-feather-Ultralight-Hard-Shell-Case.asp

That's probably what I'll do. I had book-style cases on my iPad and iPad 2, but I want to get more of the iPad feel instead of a big bulky book-like feel.
Oh yeah, I forgot you said you wanted a case immediately.
I'm sure some mainstream companies have already created cases that will release on March 7.

Anything made now will be based on "guesstimates" i would think. Better to wait a while or buy what Apple releases officially (which sounds like it might have rear protection this time).
Be warned, iPads are very easy to drop, especially after a month or so. You do become complacent.

"Best Buy is reportedly sitting on thousands of Targus Versavu 360 cases for iPad 3 ahead of Apple's Wednesday announcement."
Looks like there will be plenty of cases out when the iPad 3 comes out.
