Ya see, my ex had one of those for her iPhone and it got completely nasty.

Granted, I don't stick my iPad up on my cheek, and even if I did, I usually go a touch lighter on the foundation.

The technology has probably improved too. I've never believed a claim of fingerprint-resistance, so the iPad didn't surprise me, but I'm bowled over by how genuinely resistant the iPhone 4 is. Along with the buffing it gets in your pocket, the thing always looks like it just came out if the box.

I'm now in a position to actually buy one of these things (work has sprung for an iPad I don't have to share!) and can't decide between Fabrix Magic Sleeve, Foofbag, and the Booq. My instinct is to go with a sleeve, Fabrix has more pattern choices I like, but I've been happy with Foof previously. If I was going to get a folio/stand option, I'm leaning towards the Booq... if I'm adding bulk I may as well have a pocket of some sort and it would look more professional.

ooh, this is an interesting idea... a sleeve that makes a stand.

Any updated opinions on these?

Oooh, this is completely different... http://www.happyowlstudio.com/

Otterbox Apple iPad Commuter Case [OEM], Black | EverydaySource.com�

Its a very stable case, light but still durable to take a little fall. Though pricey but insurance ain't cheap!

That's a great looking case you have there.

As for me. I am going with Apple's case. Which I got about 2 days ago! I like it because it makes it so much easier to type on when sitting by a table.

Just got my Booq boa folio, it seems really nice so far. At first I wasn't sure the "fold cover back to make stand" feature was going to work so well, but it's working now.

I just ordered one of these to replace my Otterbox. The weight was just getting to me.

All glory to the hypnotoad.

i purchased the Apple case, black with the faded gray Apple icon, it folds over to a stand... i like it because it doesn't bulk up the size of the iPad. I think everyone needs to determine just how much protection they need, the case i got allows me to put it in my back-pack, or my wife's handbag without a hassle.
