I haven't seen a proper review for this case yet on the forums so I thought I might as well take some of my spare time and hit you all with some knowledge.
Incase Convertible Book Jacket
Price: $59.95
Summary:
I purchased this case about 2 weeks ago at the Apple store. I have used Incase products in the past with very good luck on my Macbook and iPod Touch.
First off, the case is made of very good quality leather. It holds up well and is thick enough to provide padding on your iPad in case of an accident. There is an elastic strap that holds the case closed while carrying. The speaker, dock port, volume adjustment, screen rotation lock and sleep button are all exposed for easy accessibility.

The case is a little over an inch thick so it doesn't add much heft to the already extremely thin iPad. Here are some shots of the side profile.

When opened it exposes an inside flap of the portfolio case with 3 notches etched into the leather. I will get to these in a minute but I would first like to point out the view-ability of the entire iPad screen. I have seen other cases with not as great of a fit around the display such as the Marware Eco-Vue.

Moving on, the three notches on the inside of the front flap allow the iPad to stand in 3 different positions for view-ability. It can lay down so you can read the USA Today, or elevate almost vertically so you can watch a movie.

The front flap will also fold behind the iPad, exposing it and elevating it to a comfortable angle for typing.

Conclusion
Pros This case fits the iPad like a glove and maintains a very professional appearance. It offers numerous stances to use the functionality of the device.
Cons When the iPad is elevated on one of the 3 convertible notches, it has a tendency to shift slightly inside the case. This doesn't affect the viewing of the device however, it is rather annoying. Also the home button is not perfectly flush with the case. This is rather annoying but by no means does it deter me from loving this case.
If there are ANY questions about the case or the experience with it thus far please feel free to ask. Thanks!
