iPad covers

[Charlieboy]

Hi all,
I recently bought the the iPad and was wondering what you lot use to protect it. I like the idea of the magnetic covers, but also want the back protected too.

Many thanks

There are a few threads on this.

I've tried a few and have been disappointed with how they last.

This is my current case - for the money its brilliant. Offers good protection and very good quality.

I bought this,

Very good case, not bulky and has the magnetic lock.

Carbon fibre is a bit hit and miss but I like it and it's mainly just for work.

Silicone/rubber case to protect the main body, screen protector and a tablet sock to keep it in. Cost me not even £10.

and silicone case :

I wanted something to protect the front and back and that lot cost me under £15 off Ebay.

I've got one of these but I'm abit disappointed it seems to be starting to deform and sag in places it doesn't fit as well as it did when I bought it

Smart cover for me.

I have one of these:

Very impressed with it, quality case, well worth the money!

I wanted a leather sleeve type, so it didn't make the iPad twice the size and weight, and I wanted it to protect the back as well. This fits the bill perfectly, and it's very well made.

Halfords have knocked all their Belkin ones down to £6 or £9. Still at £30ish on Amazon/eBay.

Got a link to them? on either Halfords or Amazon?

Thanks for the heads up.

I've just ordered one of each, my dad's going to collect them for me tomorrow. You can only get them in store, they are £6.25 and £8.75

Links?

 

[Feirny]

No worries, I got one of each too.

£8.75

£6.25

Bargain! It's just a shame the 12 halfords nearest to me don't have them in stock so I had to order them from 20 miles away, worth it at that price though, as Feirny says they are a lot more than that on eBay/Amazon.

Switch Easy Canvas is IMO the best available.

Love mine and wouldn't have anything else - it's not cheap though.

I also have a Belkin pouch which the iPad and Switch Easy fits in if I'm travelling.

I picked up a Belkin one from Halfords on Feirny's advice and it's spot on. Only negative is that it isn't magnetic but can't complain for such a cheap price.

Which one did you get? I got both, the £8.75 one is magnetic.
