Best iPad 3 Case

I believe this one is the best case,

with smart cover function, only $17, don't know why people buy a case for more than $40?

Well, the OP is looking fro a case similar to the iPad1 folio case from Apple. The case in your link is nothing like it. The closest case anyone has pointed out so far to the iPad1 case is the Hard Candy Convertible:

And it's a $40+ case. So to answer your question, anyone who wants to replicate the iPad1 case for the new iPad is going to pay $40+, unless you can point out a cheaper one?

Don't know why he need ipad 1 case, this case is very slim and far better than those two pieces smart cover case.

Gcubed, I have seen several others that aren't much different than that one, but half the price. Why you trying to push something so expensive that barely keeps up? Just like with the iPad 2, it seems like the best case for the money (and isn't much differend than Gcubed is pushing) is the Bear Motion.

Oh yeah, and it is actually available to buy now, unlike Gcubed's, which is another week out... lol

orange93, I'm not pushing anything. I am searching for a New iPad case that is as close as possible, formally and functionally, to the original iPad1 case. Google searching for that crietria lead me to this thread, which according to the OP, aligns pretty well with that sentiment. Also, like the original post of this thread, I do not have price listed in my own critera.

So if you want to "push" cases that cost less, and are less like the iPad1 case than the one johnb0002002 singled out in his response to the subject of the OP, feel free.

For the sake of my, and the OP's, own search I am trying to keep this thread on topic.

Lol that's valid. No, not pushing the other, most aren't even close.

Combined with the Apple Smart case/cover, this is the nicest case I've found, perfect for business settings and has lots of cushioning. The leather is pretty nice as well:

Otherwise, you can splurge for this one for 10 times the price 😉 :

I like that case (Hard Candy), but the reviews on Amazon are mixed. Lots of people saying it feels rushed and cheap. Can anyone vouch for it before I put my order in?

iSkin has a flexible back plate that can be used by itself or used with the smart cover. It locks the smart cover in place...check it out...

It's priced at $39.99 (regularly priced at $49.99). I've ordered one in black. iSkin offers pretty good products. I've ordered from them before and have been happy.

Oh, my! I love Coach products as much as I love Apple products. ****. Wish you hadn't shown me that! Lol

I also like the original ipad first gen cover. It is light and does what I need. It works as well today as it did when I first got it. I like the Iluv Origami, but worry that constantly bending the flaps will keep it from gong back to flat after a while. I mostly use my cover in it's "stand" position whether it is on my lap or on a desk.

I bought an Ipad2 cover at Staples to get me through until I figure out what i want and find that the magnetic on and off is a bit of a bother. Most likely the magnets don't line up correctly, but also the flap has started to lift and does not fully close. So i would worry about that happening with some of the less expensive options...maybe they are not using good quality materials that would keep their shape as well?

I have enjoyed the thoughts and discussion on this forum. Thanks to all for the insightful discussion and suggestions.

Done deal, this is my favorite!

Thanks for posting this. Never would have found it otherwise. I decided to go with it for several reasons

1. light weight.

2. water resistant - you never know!

3. simple design.

4. eco friendly is nice but wasn't a deal breaker.

I hope it holds up as well as they advertise!

should have added the link

I just received my ipad 3 cover and it is just what you want. It covers the back and front, front folds into a stand. The magnets work with the sleep too. It is within your budget range.

This is all quite confusing as there seems to be no unamimity of opinion here. After looking at lots of them, I have "narrowed" it down to the following. Among these, does anyone have any strong feelings.
