The Search for the Best New iPad HD Case Begins!

Targus slim is my choice. Can't get a confirmed availability date. Hopefully before my pad arrives....

According to CNET, they should already be at Best Buy. Targus sent them one to review yesterday!

I may give them a call but it's not on their website yet. And according to Targus customer service they couldn't give me a direct answer but only that they will be going out to retailers over the next couple of weeks... They may have only sent a few out for reviews as of now.
 
I don't understand ppl who pay lots of money on an iPad and then want to cover the damn thing up with leather or plastic or skins that you can't see through...one of the best featurs of the iPad is the design, sleek clean simple.

I'll be punting for a contour iSee when the come out for iPad or maybe Zagg's full-body or max invishield..

Just don't see the point of hiding something so beautiful!! :)
 
Hoping that Yoobao will release the iSlim for the new iPad.

I have the iSlim for the iPad 2 and absolutely love it for its ultra thin profile and open bezel design!

(Gigaguy reviewed it and posted photos here.)

i wouldnt call the zagg invishield gaudy cheap plastic....you obviously commented off the cuff there...!

the contour is not so much a sheek product, but it lets you see what you bought, rather than looking a some cow's ass or aligator's arm pit :)

I was talking about the plastic of the iSee

Haha I like the arm pit of an alligator! :)

Regardless on case, just can't wait to have the new iPad in my hands

Might even get applecare+ and just go caseless joe jackson

decisions, decisions

Might pull the tripper on the Lexington (this style I want in a case)

Which one did you order?

STM Skinny 3 is also in my thinking purchase process :rolleyes:

I actually got the Lexington. It most closely mimics the setup I had on my iPad 2, which is a form fitting back snap on cover paired with a smart cover. Protects the whole iPad but keeps it slim.
 
Targus slim looks nice but I want to know how well it holds closed. Are the magnets strong enough or does it flap around?

Nice! So you have the new one that's for pre-order or did they have this case for the 2 as well?
Click to expand...

I got the new one for pre-order, and I REALLY hope it gets here in time for my iPad's arrival on the 16th. So far they're saying it's SHIPPING on the 16th. Didn't even look for iPad 2 cases--I wanted one that I was sure would fit.

I thought I had read on Amazon reviews that the magnets suck and flap around too much, which is why I opted against that one.

I don't think the Targus Slim was ever put on sale...this is the first time they're offering it but maybe you're right. Regardless, I just saw a picture of their case from the preview on ilounge and it has a huge cutout in teh back fro the ipad logo. I toss my ipad in my messenger bag every day and don't want it to get scratched so i'll go with something else.

I see, I just got done talking to there CS department and there not even in stock with them yet. They said the date could be pushed passed the 16th. I'm in the same boat as you with wanting the case for launch, so might just do the preorder as well :confused:
 
I eat my own words :( !!!

I'm going to pass on the clear box solution and just ordered the new Otterbox!

90$ including 1day shipping..seems call volumes are high there and the site is sluggish..must be a rush on.

I looks good, very sleek, only black though which disappoints but..i guess it's better then giving apple another 100$ for the applecare product..

I thought this was a new case or has it just been updated for the new pad? If so maybe they improved it... hope so...
