iPad Cover and Case Blog

You just recently bought an iPad 2, a tablet with a sleek and lightweight design. The problem is it is also prone to cracks at even the smallest impact. Sure enough you will want to protect this valuable device with shock-resistant cases.

Here are four fantastic cases that not only provide added functionality and protection, but also come cheap in just under 40 bucks!

iLuv Flex-Gel Case

The cheapest on the list, you can securely fit the iPad 2 inside the Flex-Gel Case by iLuv for just $15.00. Available in many stylish colors, this case safeguards the tablet from scratches and fingerprints. It also has openings to accommodate the various jacks and other controls of the tablet. However, the screen is left open too so you might want to buy an additional screen protector. Also, the case reportedly has annoyingly sharp edges, which can be rectified with sandpaper. No, seriously!

Speck Products FitFolio

A slim-fitting protection made of vegan leather, the FitFolio comes in a variety of colors. Speck Products designed this $35 case to give users flexibility. For instance, there is a flip-out reading stand integrated into the case for viewing the screen without holding the iPad 2. You can open the front cover as if the tablet was like a book or fold it all the way to the back. FitFolio has a nice touch thanks to its padded exterior, with the tablet fitting snugly inside a plush micro-flee interior lining.

CaseCrown Royal Standby

The Royal Standby by CaseCrown has two kinds: one acting as a horizontal stand for the iPad 2 while the other as vertical. Inserting the device into the case is easy and promises long lasting protection thanks to Royal Standby’s synthetic leather exterior material and non-scratch felt interior. One common complaint among customers who bought this case before is the case eventually loosening its grip to the tablet. Royal Standby is currently priced at around $24.

Marware C.E.O. Hybrid

Marware describes the C.E.O. Hybrid as the perfect design combination of the clamshell case and padded folio case. Its padded protection does not sacrifice flexible functionality as well as ultra-low profile. C.E.O. Hybrid also has an elastic hand strap at the back for comfort and security while holding the tablet. It also makes use of the magnetic component found in the iPad 2 to close the lid securely as well as signal the tablet to lock and go to sleep mode. Closing the $30 deal is the included folio case.

iLuv is a whiz when it comes to Apple accessories, including the new iPad tablet computer. It is a computer, right? Do you not classify the iPad as a PC. Well, I suppose that’s debatable.

But what’s not up for debate, is the freakishly awesome cases from iLuv. Take a look at this dreamy white iPad case that is made from fabric and features a light blue sash and clip. It completely encloses your tablet and keeps it scratch, dust and dent free.

It’s iPad protection with style, from iLuv.
