INCASE Book Jacket for IPAD 2
- Thread starter stealthmode29

- Sort by reaction score
I have this Incase case for my original iPad and have been highly anticipating its release for the iPad 2. In the meantime, I found the Cygnett Lavish which is very, very similar (it even has the three-position integrated stand) and is substantially thinner than the original Incase Convertible Book Jacket. Anyway, if you're really anxious to get the new Incase jacket but can't find it anywhere it's definitely worth checking out the Cygnett Lavish.

oooo that's a lovely case - i tell you what i've been going mad on cases the last few days since joining this forum.
I still really like the selection of Ipad 2 case 's they have on that site but I really like this one - shame we don't have a Best Buy in UK
Think i'll have a little nose through ebay

I posted my recent review of the Cygnett Windsor in the same thread. I didn't see a need to start another Cygnett thread

I bought this same case yesterday. I thought I was the only one going crazy looking for info about it on the web. Like the op I found nothing.
I must say, I love the case. It's exactly what I was looking for. Although, I will say that for those of you obsessed with lack of bulk, this may not be the case for you. It's definitely on the bulky side. I don't mind it, I wanted a case that would offer some protection "incase" I drop it. plus with a one year old running around, I really need as much padding as possible.

Just picked one up at best buy before going to work. It fits like a glove, the guy was even nice enough to give me 10% off...for whatever reason I have no idea. It has a velcro flap that keeps the iPad in the case and theres an elastic strap attached to the back that can be stretched over the front to keep the cover closed.
the back camera hole isn't "perfectly" lined up, but theres no overlaying shadow when trying to take pictures.
The other thing is the spine seems like a tight fit. when you close the lid, you have to adjust it a little bit to make it sit flush. other than that, great buy...best buy so far. hahaha pun.

Congrats peace... that was a short hunt. You probably got the 10% off because there is a coupon I forgot about...oh well. Anyway for those of you saying it's bulky, it certainly is a bit, but then again, those of you choosing this case are looking for actual protection, no? With a slim fitting one, why bother, just go the skins route. jus sayin..
I called InCase about this Book Jacket this morning. The CS rep said this case is made especially for Best Buy right now, and that she had just heard about it yesterday from a customer.
I am happy to say I was able to get the only one in stock at my local Best Buy. I love this case! Sure, it adds a bit of bulk but I am happy knowing my iPad 2 is protected. The velcro strap is easy to undo so if I do ever want to slip the iPad out of the case for any reason, no problem.
This fits perfectly inside my netbook size InCase Neoprene sleeve for another layer of protection.
The Book Jacket (with iPad 2) also fits in the iPad comparment of my Incase Travel Kit Plus, which also holds my Apple BT keyboard, earphones, charger, and cord.
I'm ready for vacation!
PS Thanks to the OP for letting us know this case was available.

I picked up the same case today at the Best Buy in Mission Viejo, CA, after reading this thread.
It was the only one on the shelf, with no price, and did not seem to have a dedicated space for the product. The salesman and the Apple Rep both had not seen the case before. The salesman scanned it and said it was $39.95. He seemed surprised by the price and scanned it a second time. Still $39.95
Fits great and should protect the iPad well in my travels.

Thanks stealth! I try to prepare before the hunt hehehe. I usually start work at 10:30 so I had a half hour to make it to 3 different best buys in the area, lucky me, the first one I went to had 4 on the shelf. Like everyone has already said, the employees didn't even know they had something like this, but they were well aware of the first gen one.
As far as size goes, yes its on the bulky side, but for me, i need it nice and thick to feel protected. Having the iPad2 being so slim, i'm reluctant to hold it tightly cause I might grip to hard and bend it in an incredible hulking rage of angry birds or something. It's nice and sturdy. Before i had this case, I was wrapping it in a scarf hahaha.
Huh, I was actually contemplating getting that same case or the ottorbox defender for my original iPad. I swear I saw this for sale at Amazon for $59.99. If I can get ahold of one for $39.99 at a local Best Buy I'd buy it in a second.
Edit: Apparently the original iPad model is $59.99 and looks worse than this one. I wonder if I could get this one to fit onto the original... only the camera holes would look somewhat awkward but that's it.

I'm actually curious now that it's posted on incase website, I wonder if best buy will hike up the price to 60.00 to match? If so...better get them while you can.
Best Buy in the Tustin Marketplace has 5 the woman on the phone said! They were all in the back and she said the price is $39.99! They'll only have 4 now
Yeah I found that pretty strange too...by complete chance I picked one up earlier today and came back to see that incase has listed on their website for $20 more
I'm nott surprised in the difference in price with the high price belonging to the MFR's site. There's another iPad case that's $10 dollars more online then it is at Bestbuy. Also when the Incase sliders came out they were also $10 dollars cheaper at my local best buy.
Awesome Case, the iPad feels so much more substantial in my hands now. However, the cover does not act like the smart cover (at least not for me). These still don't show up on the BB site, but it's in their system - call in and have someone check! and use this 12% coupon on your phone: http://bit.ly/gUw5Ua
$33.00 - not bad.
Word.

Good to know. I remember paying full price (website) for the slider case at the apple store, hopefully best buy keeps the low price.
I don't think it's suppose to act as a smart cover...you can slice a slit in the side and stick a slim magnet to make it a smart cover though....I'm contemplating this still.
Whohoo, I'll definitely be on the hunt for this case tomorrow.
If anyone has it already do you mind posting pictures of it?
