Hah. Just posted about this case. It looks awesome. The reviews on youtube (for the iPad 2 version) are really good. Biggest thing is that they show that the magnets are strong enough to remain shut even after you flip it upside down and shake it. I think I'm gonna buy one of these but I contacted the company to get some more info on em. At the very least, this is now at the top of my list.
I love my colcasac!! Still using the one I got for the iPad 1.
Planning on getting Smart Cover and keeping the colcasac with new iPad.
That one looks great, any idea when it will be available for the iPad 3rd Gen?
FYI, here is a response I got about the compatibility of this case with the new iPad:
"Hi,
Thank you for showing interest in buying one of our cases. Yes the iPad 3 or "The new iPad" is slightly thicker it is only 0.6mm thicker then the iPad 2. We have not checked the case on the iPad 3 sense[sic] it will only come out on March 16th, BUT we have checked it on the iPad 2 with putting a cardboard (about 1mm thickness) on the back of the ipad 2 and the case still fit perfectly. So, that is why we assume it will fit perfectly "The new iPad". Also about the camera whole[sic], the camera is the same as on the iphone 4S and the size did not change, just the lenses they used.
If by any chance this case will not fit properly we always accept returns.
Thank you!
INVELLOP"
I'm thinking about ordering the gray one.
posted on other thread too..for new ipad 1st timers:
I (and several others here), have been thru all the ipad and iphone launches...I have learned the hard way TO WAIT A FEW MONTHS until they have their 1st gen products out there. Do a search here and you will find all sorts of fit and finish problems by virtually mfr, as every mfr rushes their product to market to capture the huge Tsunami of ipad buyers that have to have something right now to protect their new pad. Whatever you get right now is going to market with no real world longevity testing - except you.
So what to do? I'm gonna use my old smartcover, get a skin of some sort - like icarbons, iskin, Zagg (Yecch) and wait a bit...after they realize the the tab breaks off (like ZUM) or the fit is bad and correct it, I'll be in for a folio type case from somebody.
All true but isn't the dimension of the new iPad almost identical to the old one? From what I've seen, a lot of the case makers will not be designing new cases from the ground up. Most will be based upon the iPad 2 cases. As long as past reviews have been good I think it'll be fairly safe.
I have a Bookbook red case arriving from Amazon on Tuesday. Twelve South assures me it will fit my new iPad, arriving on Friday. My stars are aligned.

The elastic part is a real bummer for me.
exactly why I don't own a BB for ipad - looks very amateurish - they did the macair book nice though....got them...
anyone found any iPad 3 cases that are clear and compatible with the smart cover?
Tack another pre-order on for the Incipio Lexington. Looks really nice.
The BookBook certainly looks the best out of the four cases I'm considering. Would have been a real winner if it had the smart cover feature and the top isn't secured by elastic. The elastic part is a real bummer for me.
