Best iPad 3 Case

Hello guys. Could anyone point me in the direction of a very good iPad 3 case that covers the back and also folds over the front. similar to the one that Apple launched with the iPad 1. Im not fussed about one with a magnet that just covers the screen. I'm in the UK. Best wishes..

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

One of those top ten is the Otterbox Defender. I have that on my iPad 3. I like everything about it except one. The display protector, which is built into the case, causes some interference patterns to appear that cause the display to be less than perfect. It is as if there is a lot of very small spots of 'sparkly' color noise present.


Things are still very legible and I'll probably get used to it, but all in all I would have preferred a totally clear protector that didn't 'modify' the display characteristics so much.

Take a look at this case - fits iPad2 and "New". http://www.cortizza.com/cork-ipad2-new-ipad-case/ . If you're not familiar with cork fabric, it soft, kind of like suede, but is also water and stain resistant. Also, cork is a sustainable, eco-friendly material. It's a really cool case - they're offering free shipping, too.

Sort of pricey. First thing I would want to know for sure is if it actually works with the wake/sleep function. The case I bought was supposed to do that and did not. Magnet is off by just enough to make it not work. None of these manufacturers really knew until yesterday if the case would actually work with the new iPad, yet many advertised that they would.

Here's my suggestion. I really like it and it's the next best thing to the original Apple iPad (1st gen) case, In my honest opinion.

This case is $19.95. An awesome price for this case, I think.

Wow, and I've been scouring the internet and thought there was a dearth of cases available. Thanks for posting the link. It looks like there's a winner in this list for me, but I'm not sure how to decide. Perhaps someone can offer a suggestion. The new iPad is my first one. I was looking for something that could give good protection against dropping it, something light and something comfortable to hold while riding the train (often standing) and reading.


I was gonna hold out for the candy shell wrap from Speck - https://www.speckproducts.com/tablet-ipad-cases/candyshell-wrap-ipad-cover-black .html - but I have no idea when the new one will be ready.


Any suggestions? [The first one on the list, the Folio, looks like it might be the answer though I can't seem to find it for sale.] Thanks.

@PogoPossum,


Sorry for the long silence. Was waiting for my new ipad and the case to comment further. I have both and it does fit perfectly, I can use all the features of my new ipad nicely like camera, power button & so on.

I am totally happy with both my buys 🙂


and yes the auto sleep and auto wake up does work so Im super happy. For these who want the case, its here http://x-doria.ae/shop/tablet-ebook-reader/apple-ipad/the-new-ipad/smartstyle-th e-new-ipad-case-white-detail.html


What's more it fits my ipad 2 very well also, though I plan to get rid of my old iPad.


A note of thanks to you @PogoPossum, you had me worried for a while but it was a valid point!
