What case did you buy for new Ipad

Portenzo, but I bet I don't see it for a month. So I also ordered a Gelaskin for the back of the iPad and I'll use that with my old SmartCover until the Portenzo arrives.
Bought a Targus Slim Case from Amazon. I plan on returning it within 30 days so I have time to read some reviews on other cases in the mean time.
I got the Evio Harmony case. While they say that they will only guarantee a perfect fit after they test their case with a New IPad I think it was safe enough to order one. Above all I really appreciated the fact that unlike other manufacturers they care more about the customer instead of selling untested products. Kudos to them! And oh yeah pretty nice case too 
I'd been using the CEO Hybrid case from Marware for my iPad2 and have really liked it a lot. Very sturdy and it covers front and back. I am hoping that it will still fit my new iPad. I guess I will see tomorrow...or actually today(!!)
It's available in the UK from Amazon:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Targus-Clic...MAY0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1331899910&sr=8-1
And also in Argos for £29.99
Not sure if it's available in the US though.

Hope that helps!
If I get time after lunch, I'll try & get some photos.
Hi, may I ask if the auto sleep/wake function works on the new iPad using this case?
no probe mate, no rush, still waiting for a delivery anyways!
Sorry the pictures aren't great, I haven't had the heart to take it out of the cellophane yet! (OCD much?)

Anybody going to try this out?

There's a video of how it works. And here's their FAQ:
How does my iPad stay attached in the case?
The Tuxedo case uses Magic Tape , an innovative, double-sided adhesive that doesnt leave any residue, to hold the iPad securely in place.
Will Magic Tape lose its adhesive ability?
The Magic Tape can be reactivated with tape or water. Using tape, gently use the adhesive to remove dust and debris from the Magic Tape to refresh stickiness. For water, gently wipe the Magic Tape area with a wet tissue and let the surface air dry to refresh stickiness.
Will Magic Tape leave any residue on my iPad?
Magic Tape is designed to be reusable and removable.

I got the black iPad and bought the grey felt sleeve from Byrd & Belle (for travel) but customized it to get the black leather strap instead of the brown. Also got the leather tan smart cover for everyday use. The combination of the two look fantastic!
EDIT: just returned the tan smart cover for black. Much sexier now!

The review for the Casemate Tuxedo (iPad 2 version of course) is reassuring:

Just got the case, looks nice, but the auto sleep/wake won't work, the case magnets don't align properly. It overlaps a tiny bit. Not sure if the case is just faulty.
Have you tried it with the cellophane off yet? just curious if its just mine.
