I am eagerly awaiting the release of the new iPad--I ever-so-patiently resisted upgrading my original iPad to an iPad 2 but now I feel the improvements are worth it. Which means, of course, I need a case for that iPad. But I'm having a lot of trouble finding one that's exactly what I want, so hoping someone here can help.
For my original iPad, I have an M-Edge Executive Jacket: http://www.medgestore.com/products/ipad-executive.psp?device=ipad1
This case exemplifies almost everything I want:
-real leather, looks classy
-closes securely (I carry my iPad everywhere in my bag, so I can't have a cover that might slip open if jostled)
-iPad is held in place without obscuring much of the iPad (I don't like the cases that have a thick border around the entire screen)
-durable (I've been very hard on this case over the last two years, and it's just a little worn)
-easy to stand for viewing
-not too bulky
What it doesn't have, that I would like:
-ability to set it at a good typing angle
-opening for the back camera
It seems most of the leather cases I'm finding are either bulkier (with lots of pockets and things), difficult to stand in various positions, and/or have that annoying border around the screen. Surely there is one out there that has all these features? Help?
(The closest I've come are the Zenus Masstige--but I've read mediocre reviews and there's no mention of a new iPad version on the site--and the Portenza--but typing angle seems iffy, and I'm seeing reports that the wooden frame may break easily. I have dropped my iPad once or twice.)
