In case anyone is still looking for a slim iPad 2 case that covers the entire iPad. I have found Khomo dual iPad 2 case on amazon.com. It has a poly carbonate back that aligns perfectly to the camera and buttons. The back of the case is attached to a polyurethane front cover that acts just like the Apple smart cover. This case is perfect. It protects all areas of the iPad, while still keeping the slim form factor of the iPad. The magnets work extremely well. The case feels well built, not flimsy. This is the closest thing to the original iPad 1 Apple case but with the function of the apple smart cover. I absolutely love it. AND, the best part? It's only $19.99!!!

If Apple would make the Apple iPad case they had for the first gen iPad with the smart cover functionality, I'd get it in a heartbeat. I liked that case. It held up very well.

The new Apple smart cover is good, too. I have a couple of them, but it's nice to have a case that the cover is attached to the back piece and not coming off.

I did A TON of reasearch and I've narrowed down this choice to two options that work perfectly for home, travel and professional use. I rotate between the two.


(1) Smart Cover Set Up: II love my smart cover, but I only had to see a friend drop his iPad once to know the back needed protection. I didn't want to loose the slim esthetics of the device, so this thin, clear back cover has been perfect. I've had at least 5 friends buy the same one.

(2) CrownCase Black Leather: It is really faux leather, but it works for me. It is the highest rated case on Amazon and it's as good as advertised. This case fits perfectly, allows access to all controls, and doesn't impete the speaker. Love it!

To use in conjunction of the smart cover, the MiLi iBox is a great choice. It's battery/charger back cover that can provide the protection for the back, and 8000mAh of extra battery. I tested it myself and it gives us additional 80% of battery life:

This is just a tip: Rather than posting such a long URL, you can either...


1) Post the product's shorter Permalink: On the product's page, click on the Share link on the right and then copy & paste the Permalink:


http://amzn.com/B004R7A9NU


or 2) Create a text link by selecting the text in your post and clicking on this Insert Link icon:

...then your text would be clickable like this: CaseCrown on Amazon. In a similar way, it's also possible to create an image link (via the Camera & Insert Link icons) like this:

I did a lot of research for a case for my 2 and got the Blurex casesold by Amazon for $60 (the 9.94 is for free shipping). See below. Unfortunately, when I accessed the site to get the URL I see that it now has gone up to $95. I guess lots of us liked the case with keyboard and they'll charge more as long as they sell. there's a good you tube video of the case if you scroll down on the Amazon site.


I was looking for a case with a wireless keyboard and was surprised that many have either rubbery keys which most users don't like and many don't have the right-hand shift key. the Blurex keyboard has better keys and they are protected from contacting the iPad.


Maybe you can find the $60 price somewhere.
