My opinion
I love the iPad and have used it in the apple case, but for the iPad 2 i was thinking i could just slide it in, but with it being thiner it most likely wont be as snug, so there for i will be buying the smart cover (black) with my iPad2 16gb wifi (black, but i think apple should really design a product for the iPad2 that protects the back as well, but i also understand with having the rear camera u might not want a case like the original apple case because you would have to take out your iPad2 to use it.
