Recommend me a case for my ipad 4th gen retina

Hello lovely people of DS

I've just bought a ipad 4th gen retina (the one with the lightning connector)

I'm struggling to find cases specifically for the 4th gen..I bought one designed for the New iPad (whichever one that is) but the magnetic cover wouldn't stay closed, so i'm guessing it's the wrong one

so, do you have a 4th gen and what case do you use? I'm looking for something where the ipad slides in and closes magnetically or has an elastic strap

I've looked on the apple store, and it's a bit lacking

Have this for my mini and wife has for ipad2, looks like it does one for latest one, a bit pricey but can not fault it really

The 4th generation iPad ("iPad with Retina display") has the same dimensions as the third generation iPad ("new iPad"), and is only slightly thicker than the iPad 2 (9.4mm instead of 8.6mm).

I'll take my case back tomorrow, I must have got a duff one, because looking at it, there's only one magnet at the top, and none at the bottom

Now I know the 3rd gen is same size as 4th, i'll get mine swapped over, 4th gen if I can get one, 3rd gen if not

Thanks for your replies everyone

The apple iPad smart case can't be beaten in my opinion I have a red one and its perfect.

Just to ask, is it only the 4th iPad that has the retina display? Cause I been looking for it? And I thought the 3rd gen has it as well

I bought this one for my new iPad it fits perfectly.Does not cover any of the screen and turns it of when closed.

I have tried others but this is the best one for me.

Just read the reviews!

This is fab on my ipad 3, and good value. Looks smart.http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000M9KX6K

There was an issue when the iPad 3 came out (the "new" iPad) where Apple had swapped the polarity of the magnets and although their own smart covers still worked, certain 3rd party ones didn't - you may have one of those.

I ended up getting one from Currys (would never shop there normally) £15 and closes with an elastic strap, nice and padded too

Expensive but no more pricey than the Apple ones...

Does a brilliant job much better than the Ipad ones at the same price or more...
