I bought a cream leather cover for my black iPad. I REALLY like the look of it. I am worried if it's going to get dirty, though.
I was tempted to go Navy, but I couldn't tell the difference between it and the black.
Kind of thinking I should have gone black for the potential dirt issue, though...

Orange
I ended having to buy my iPad from Best Buy, and one of the employees was walking around showing people the various colors (to speed up the paying process) and was handing them out before you got to the register. I originally chose Blue, but I noticed that everyone behind me was doing the same (and some pink), so at the last minute I went with Orange and am glad I did.

Me too. The red against the white iPad is sharp looking. The feel of the leather is really nice too. Love how easily it attaches and stays secure. Smart covers FTW!
Was planning on the tan leather one all along, when I got inside I took a liking to the black leather one but stuck with the tan leather on black iPad. The black & tan combo is really classy and the leather is very soft and supple.
I've got the orange Smart cover, which I got on Launch Day, and then yesterday when I was at Microcenter for something saw that they had the Smart covers there, too, so bought the lime green one. I eventually will probably get a leather one, too......once I make up my mind about the color.
Black leather.
I'd like a dark saddle brown, too, but they don't make one. Someone in another thread used some leather oil to darken the tan leather cover and it looked fantastic. May have to try it.

At Tysons now and of course stopped in at the Apple store again....this time I could look at all the covers again at my leisure and also finally touch one of the leather ones. MMmmmmm!! That was a no-brainer once my fingers caressed the leather. So now I am a happy owner of the black and the tan leather covers, too! LOL! I also bought my iPad 2 a wonderful new soft black leather messenger bag I spotted in another store. My original iPads were not this demanding, but, gee, this new iPad 2 keeps saying, "Mummy, buy me this! Mummy, buy me that!". LOL!
For people with the leather ones, is the inside panel lined with leather as well? I know the polyurethane ones are lined with a felt like material.
That red one is looking sharp. I might have to look into getting a leather one instead of the polyurethane one that I planned on getting.

No, it isn't leather or suede, looks like a dense felt. I haven't seen the inside of the poly, but my guess it is the same.

I got excited earlier when the FedEx status of my Red Leather went from "On the Truck for Delivery" to "At Local FedEx Facility". Remarks are "Package not due for Delivery". I think that is because the estimate was "By Wednesday".
I actually stayed home this morning because it was on the truck.

I ended up with the gray poly. I was originally going to go leather, but after feeling it in the store it didn't feel or look that much better IMO.
I like it way better than the original apple iPad case though, every time I would set it up for video playback it would fall forward onto the table. I also didn't really like how it looked and how it would pick up random dust from tables you set it on.
And since I like using the iPad caseless then the cover works really well for me anyways.
