I just seen one of the best leather case for ipad 2.
http://www.etsy.com/listing/71515111/ipad-case-full-grain-cowhide-leather.

Really nice looking and well made, I am planning to order it soon. What do you guys think?

meh.
not feeling the card holders, nor the color. nor the wrap around button.

nor the fact that the ad says its for iPad 1.
 
Glad you found a case you liked but that one is definitely not for me.
 
What!? That looks like someone held my grandpa at gunpoint, stole his belt and shoes and made an iPad case out of it.
 
Boy, sure glad you guys don't flame people. I think I'll just stay a lurker in case you happen to disagree with something I say.

thank god we all have different tastes. or we'd all be stalking Pamela Anderson or Tom Cruise and driving a Chevette.
 
I don't like it and I am of grandpa age. The iPod is a minimalist design and this case screams that "more is more". It might suit the Chairman of the Board of a Fortune 500 Company but not all you oh-so-trendy hipsters, geeks and yes, a few of us grandpas.
 
Forgetting for a moment the questionable aesthetics, and those are personal taste after all, the design is terrible from a usage and protection standpoint. The credit cards hard edges are going to be slammed into the screen. Sure glass is much harder than the plastic but the iPad has an oleophobic coasting which could get scuffed up over time. The second problem, and bigger problem, is the flap with the brass snap on it. All it is going to take is one careless close with flap towards the screen and you could end up even cracking the screen, the default position of that flap is terrible. On top of all that I really don't like cases that cover the bezel. I hate when my finger runs into the edging on something like that but that is personal preference.
 
This is an ugly case. It looks destined for old people, over 65 years old...

Excellent feedback before I purchase it. First look, I like it because it looks classic and as clovis said looks like indiana jones. It is not that old looking and might look cool in office. But after several people mentioning it, I have a second thought. Hmmm... may be not.....now, I am not sure. :D
