How will you protect your new iPad?

[TheUrbanLegend]

I'm torn between a smart cover (doesn't add bulk and protects the screen) and this CaseCrown Bold Standby Case from Amazon (protects screen and back but adds bulk)

here is a pic

I've been using a case like this on my iPad 2 - http://www.maikai.co.uk/en/ultra-slim-pu-leather-ipad-2-smart-case-black.html
(loads of places sell these, they all come from China)

Wondering what I'll do until one like this is released for the new iPad!

It's like a smart cover except it covers the back. It clips on so there's no ugly bezels. It fits the iPad 2 perfectly so no chance of it fitting the new iPad.

Smith & Wesson.

I've hired Halliburton to provide 24x7 armored security.

I had an XtremeMac micro folio for my iPad2 which I really like.

I'm hoping it still fits on the new iPad but with .5mm of extra thickness I dont know until I try it...

Red leather Smart Case and Applecare.

Black leather smart cover, SGP clear crystal for the screen, and Bestskinever for the back. Works well for me on the iPad 2 so I'm doing the same for the new iPad.

Btw, MacMall is selling the leather smart cover for $49.99 instead of $69 so if anyone is interested in having some $$$.

Thanks for the heads up. Do you know if this is a new promotion? I wish I knew of this last week when I bought my smart cover from apple.

My XtremeMac Micro Folio for the iPad 2 DOES fit the new iPad!
It is a little snug but it fits just fine.

Saddleback Leather Ipad2 case. Read on their facebook page that the new IPad fit in their ipad2 case when he received his today. It's a great product and have been using my saddleback for almost 2 yrs and my ipad wouldn't be the same without this case.

Likely going with CaseMate Tuxedo. Video reviews of the iPad 2 version show that the adhesive is really secure and easy to attach/detach.

I love the novelty of having the iPad just exist there, without any holsters or clips. Also, it's the thinnest form factor I've seen.

Just with a Smart cover for the screen!

I took out apple care as I'd like this one to last the full 2 years. My ipad 1 crashes now whenever I push it too hard e.g. run an app that's fairly taxing or try to use multitasking gestures etc.

I have the attitude of, so long as the screen is fine, I'm happy. It's meant to be a usable working device, a platform, something that I can carry around, make notes, work and play on. I don't like the idea of buying something light and sleek and made of metal and then covering it in 1980s G-Shock style rubber.

Obviously if you're going to be chucking it around a bit or taking it out to the park or something then something more rugged might make sense

Smith & Wesson.

For a second I thought Smith & Wesson made a case for the iPad and I got a little geniunely excited. I wish they did make a case...
