I had the exact one for iPad2 and the quality is really really bad. Gave it away to someone else. It is just in my opinion. You might like it.

Any opinions on the Targus Vuscape vs Targus 360? My Best Buy had both of these in - $40 for Vuscape and $60 for 360.
The main difference, of course is that the 360 lets you rotate the ipad for vertical or horizontal viewing, while the Vuscape is really only set up as a horizontal stand. I'm not sure I'd pay $20 extra for just that - BUT I also noticed that the 360 involves a plastic back case to snap your ipad into, whereas the Vuscape just has a few "grabber" things built into the leather to hold it in place. Any opinions on whether the plastic back holds it and/or protects it better? And in general, whether the 360 protects any better for minor falls and things?
Right now I'm scared to let my iPad leave my house til I have some kind of case on it, so I'm leaning toward grabbing one of these from BB even if better cases are going to come along in the next few weeks...

I just ordered a FrappeDesign Executive Folio for iPad 2 in black color.
This is a classy looking folio with multi-functional uses without adding much bulk. Card holder, Notepads, few credit cards.. pen/stylus etc.
The ipad pouch has enough room to add the ipad along with Zaggmate keyboard case. I hope to this see this case this week itself, else i will be mad.

Got it today. Love it. Will post pix (pix in ad are accurate) and review in next couple days.
Glad I got the brown. Looks like a legal pad folio.
Boxwave has a leather smart cover type case. It claims to be genuine leather, and I would hope so for the price. I'm not really a leather guy, but it looks pretty nice. Available 4/22.

Booqpad
Just ordered a Booqpad from booqbags.com. Won't have it for a few weeks, but it looks like it might be a keeper. The pockets work for plane tickets and business cards. I can live without the notepad, but I've noticed I still jot a lot of things on paper during meetings.
Also curious about the Sena case (I have the Sena folio for my iPad 1 - best case I found for the original) but it looks like the iPad 2 Sena Folio loses the small pocket I use for boarding passes.

What? No Yoobao cases? I had one for my iPad and love it. Will get another one for sure when I get my iPad sold, and iPad 2 in
I just picked up one of these from Best Buy. Ugghhh....
The smell is horrendous. There is some kind of solvent in the faux leather that is nauseating. Sure- it may go away with time. Besides, I out-gas enough that I do not need the help from this thing.
The corners where the iPad 2 fits are not well-designed. At least one corner does not form a lip with the iPad 2. The cover portion does not seat well and just bulges out.
I am returning this soon.
