The GraphGrip from Poetic is available for pre-order. I might give it a try, even though it's not really my style.

There's this one: http://www.amazon.com/iPad-Air-Case-Compatible-generation/dp/B00OC5OTWE/
The reviews for the old iPad Air 1 version are pretty good.
Thing is it's a smartcover case so it'll have a cutout on the side
Good find must have been newly released because I searched Amazon and only found the kays case. I'm adding it to my cart and will continue to look the next week or so to see what else pops up. ThanksOh, missed that you didn't want that.
This one doesn't have a cutout: http://www.amazon.com/iPad-LUVVITT®-CLARITY-Rubber-Cover/dp/B00ONDNHJQ/
It's apparently some sort of soft material, but I'm not sure exactly what it's like.

Did you read this?...
While we are certain the product will fit the new iPad Air 2, if by any chance it does not, we will AUTOMATICALLY send you a revised version free of charge.
That seems to be the issue with this pre-release cases, can't be sure if they'll fit just right. I think I might just wait for a Caudabe shell since their version for the Air was really popular.
