Well, I have not had an iPad before so I do not know what case to purchase that will be good for protection or another category like that. So, what cases will you purchase/recommend getting for new people?

I've never had one either. I'm not buying a case though since it's just going to be in my house. Sorry that didn't really help you out. lol

I'm sure you'll get some good answers though.

I was looking into buying a Dodo case. It's not released for the new iPad yet though.

I've been using the Waterfield Smart case , and I will get another if the one I have now doesn't fit.

Also, either a 'Barely There', or an Incipio type shell thingie for some anti-slip.

I pre ordered a bodyguardz skin which actually shipped today (I was pretty surprised and excited). And then I also got a dark grey smart cover.

Piel Frama leather case made for iPad. Not as well known in the states as it is in Europe. But about as well made a case as it's possible to buy (Louis Vuitton excepted, and not nearly as expensive).

I want a nice sleek, black sleeve for business. I think I may go for this one:

I want a smart cover too that covers the front and back.
This is the only one I found, downside is that it only comes in silver and bronze.

This one is really cute for the winter from Colasac.

I wanted to buy an invisible shield or some type of screen and back protector for my iPad, so then I could buy tons of sleeves for my iPad. I don't know why, but I love iPad sleeves. They are just more simple and classic looking and nice to carry around. The only downside is the sticker may ruin the quality and resolution experience. :(

I have a Zagg LeatherSkin on my iPad 1 for around the house (and I slip it into a Yoobao folio case when it leaves the house). I want to get another LeatherSkin for my new iPad but I'm suffering sticker shock because the postage to Canada has gone from $2.50 to $15 in the two years since I got the first one.

I really want this one:

Yoobao Executive Leather iPad 2 Case

It seems like the best and most simple iPad case. The only thing I hate, which is my pet peeve, is the white stitching. I bought a bag last January, and more than one year later, I'm replacing the bag. Getting the exact same bag, same color, same size... without the white stitching. The bag itself was over three hundred dollars, and I had to pay an extra fifty dollars to make the stitching tone on tone. It's just my pet peeve - it looks too tacky.

I also like Maroo cases. It's a little bulkier than some cases but offers good protection. Luckily I waited long enough and they started a 50% off sale today that runs through tomorrow at 12:30pm Pacific time.

I sprung for a Portenzo Moleskine clone just because I've been wanting one since iPad 2.

When it's not in the Portenzo, I'll put a new Gelaskin on that back and my old pink SmartCover and InCase neoprene sleeve.
