iPad 3 case

Slippin Jimmy

Bought the new iPad yesterday in Harvey Normans. I didn't see any cases I liked. I looked on amazon but didn't see anything amazing either. I will be using the tablet a lot and think the idea of a stand built into the case could be good. Can anyone recommend where to get a nice case. I'm not too sure if I want plain and simple or something with a bit of design on it. I'll know it when I see it.

These any good?

I have this Marware Hybrid and I love it. Keeps the profile thin, but still well protected.

Something along those lines. Are they very protective?

They protect the screen, but not much use if you drop it.

That's what I am most worried about. The leather ones that apple sell are nice, but they are expensive.

You don't have to get them in leather(€70), you can get them in polyurethane wich is €40.
These smart covers clean the screen and protect it but don't protect the back.
No cover that can fold like the images above will protect the back.
So you will have to choose between total protection or partial protection with added features.

Think it will be partial with added features so

Another thread with loads of cases here.

I just bought this one and fitted it yesterday.



Very snug, and very secure. Also reasonably drop-proof. I wanted one like the Apple iPad 1 case, and this was as close as I could get. I hate the faux leather look of most 'wallet' cases - this one has a kind of grippy, suede feel to it. Expensive - but I had a gift voucher to use!

Yeah it is a little expensive. But thanks for linking the other thread. I'll pick something out of that.

PCMag.com did a review on 'Cool New iPad 3 Cases' that might give you some ideas......

I took delivery yesterday of Targus Versavu 360° from Komplett for €50 and I love it, gives a lot of protection and very smart.

Worth spending a bit of money on the case considering how much the Ipad was so €50 was about right for me.

Yeah that's the one I'm more steered towards. Looks nice. Does it add much weight to the iPad?

Nope, not that I noticed to be honest with ya. Looking at Targus website it says the weight is 0.340 kg.

The fact you can carry it around like a folder is excellent and then the different viewing options too are brilliant.

Full specs can be found at http://www.targus.com/uk/product_details.asp?sku=THZ156EU and there is a nice video at http://www.targus.com/uk/ipad/versavu.asp along with some nice images

They also do another few smart looking cases for the iPad so have a good look around their website.

Hope this helps.

I bought a Targus one on ebay but i'm disappointed that it doesn't secure the iPad very well. There's good protection while it's closed but the iPad seems to slip out of it when just held like an open book

I bought this one in black. Happy with it, protects it well, looks smart.

What model did you get Hennybug?

When I saw your post I did a bit of testing on mine to see if the same applied and it didn't - of course I did the testing over the couch in case the iPad did fall out

Hennybug

I got this one

Hi Hennybug, looks the 1st case above is for an iPad 2, this could be the reason yours is falling out.

Good luck with the other case, I noticed that's for an iPad 2 also.

I ended up buying the re-furbed iPad 2 (i'm just gate-crashing this thread )

I'm guessing all the "slide-in" type iPad 2 cases are fine for the new iPad, but the "click into place" type ones might be problematic, given the slight change in the bevel.

Welcome to the party Hennybug

I bought a Snugg case and it's fantastic. It's a book cover style one with two position stand and the sleep/wake function works perfect on it. 23 euro from their site delivered. Choose dollars as currency and google a discount code for their site. www.thesnugg.com

No sign of it here yet, hopefully next week.

So I've decided which case I'm going to go for. Just need to wait to get paid. I'm thinking about getting a stylus and a digital av adapter too. Do yous have any recommendations for a stylus?

Yeah I saw this - what do you think of this one ?

Dades

Looks okay - nearly identical to this one.
The Amazon reviews for which are pretty good.

I've never liked the faux leather look, myself.

Snugg case arrived this morning...looking good.

I couldn't be happier with mine. Loved it on my iPad 1. Only issue was the iPad did slide down a bit when you had it standing on end, an issue that's been addressed with the Velcro inside the case. It really fits the iPad well too.

The sleep/wake function works perfect too. To be honest I would have happily paid 40-50 quid for the case so delighted with the cheap price too.
