Do iPad 2 cases fit the " new " iPad?

Hi. I am looking to pre-order the iPad but I was wondering if the extra thickness would completely throw off iPad 2 cases, making the iPad not fit. Also, does the Smart Cover work on the new iPad? Thanks.

To answer the original post: The Belkin Snap Shield Back Cover for ipad2 does not properly fit the New ipad. It is more of a wedge fit than snap fit. I took it off my ipad2 to check sthe fit on the New ipad.

Logitch Keyboard case by Zagg (Aluminum) fits fine, but you cannot use a clamshell back with either the ipad2 or the New ipad.

But again, please define. What is yor price range. Best to buy straight from Apple: the Smart Cover. Only $39.00 for polyurethane or $69.00 for leather.

IMHO, the $69 leather Smart Cover from Apple is a ripoff. For about $30, you can get a Yoobao full leather folio type case with a built-in cover. I just got one for my wife's new iPad3, and it's great. It even works with the sleep/wake thingy. And it comes in 6 colors.

I got mine from this website:
