There are just too many threads about ipad 2 cases, but people did not mention much about what they finally go with.

Could you all please what kind of cases you guys have on your iPad 2? If you do not wish to post pictures, then please be kind enough to describe what you bought.
 
Yoobao from eBay. $49 with shipping.

I thought about yoobao case, but I heard it has sleeping and wake issues with the magnet on the case?
 
I absolutely LOVE that case!!I see it comes in red and black as well.:rolleyes:

Edit: had to post a pic 'cause it's just so fabulous:

Yikes: it ate my 'puter, it's so huge.....LOL, sorry!

Can someone explain the statement "Front cover stays closed with micro-suction" WTF is micro-suction?
 
LaurenR- YooBao

Hello,

Thanks for sharing your YooBao red case, looks super sharp against the white! I had a YooBao for my iPad one and I thought it added a lot of weight/bulk (my husband bought it for me and now it's his since he gave me the iPad 2) but I think the case/leather was excellent in quality and I'm loving the red. Does it also sleep/wake when it opens? Thanks in advance!

The Yoobao case does have the sleep/wake function, and it has a super-slim profile in comparison to the first generation case. You can see the pictures I posted in the Yoobao ipad 2 thread.

Good deal for the $18, even includes the magnets to sleep and wake when closed.

Thanks for the link, this is almost identical to the yooboa case at a fraction of the cost. I wasn't sure about the yooboa at $40+ and I am waiting for more cases to come on the market. I think this one will suffice for a month or two at $15 with free shipping. I ordered and looks like it'll be shipped tomorrow first thing and the seller is only one state to the East of me.
 
Here are some pics of what I believe to be the best clear protection I have ever used. I have used Zaggs and a few others. None have compared to Ghost Armor so far. It was easy to install and looks great. I won't be buying from another company unless they somehow start making a crappy product.

I went with a Twelve South BookBook for when I'm out and about ($55 shipped with coupon code off www.mygearstore). I got a little paranoid leaving my iPad 2 out in the open and thought this would hide it better. Added a soft magnet from a roll I picked up at Staples. Stacked a few and put it on the inside of the cover so it would activate the sleep on/off feature.

Also, I kept my Targus Vuscape for at home if I wanted something with a lower profile. Cool case, but I may wind up taking it back.
