I have been searching this site and the internet all morning.

I am looking for a leather snap on case. I would like full leather (nappa leather etc), but in a lexington snap on style back.

I have looked at booq new folio - it has the leather i like but is in a book folio style vs snap on.

I have also looked at vaja and the joy factory. Issues with vaja is the order time - issue with joy factory being Im not sure about the texture on the case.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

There is also the Knomo folio - this looks nice but is unavailable and I have seen no reviews.

Boxwave Nuovo. Great case, iPad snaps into and out easily, seems to give great protection. Cover magnets work to turn it on and off. Highly recommended. Available in red or black.

Great company... When they delayed the release of the cover to fix the magnet alignment problems, they sent me a free back shell and stylus. Not sure why they thought a delay of only two weeks required any sort of compensation, but I guess all sorts of people demand instant gratification these days.
 
Poster does not say which of the 3 ipads he has, but the Bear Motion is a leather back shell case for iPad 2. Best leather I have seen on a <$60 iPad case. very soft, grain leather over a hard shell. They have one coming out for the 3.
It's not a foilo, but works with smart covers.
$20 amazon.
 
leather cases, all kinds

Check out Levenger.com. Nothing they sell is cheap,but all top grade leather and many styles,.The case on first page of current catalog uses circa notepaper (very cool). Pricey, but the notepaper can be removed and reinserted without tearing, and comes in a variety of colors and styles. Their guarantee and return policy is the best! Please don't discount this company due to prices. Ask for a free catalog and at least see what they have to offer. I own many of their products and have been a customer for years.
