iPad 2 case

Hey,

Currently have a Belkin case on my iPad 2 (can't remember the model of it) and I hate it!

It's too thick, covers the headphone jack - so I'm forever removing it from the case, and has started to fray.

So... I need a new case. What do you recommend?

Requirements:

Doesn't add too much bulk to the iPad
Have a "premium" feel - musn't be a hard case
Allow access to all ports on the device
Cover the whole iPad - not just the front
Would prefer sleep/wake function but not fussed either way.

Budget of around £35

Thanks in advance...

The new iPad smart cover?

The "Smart Cover" only covers the front.

Apple has released a new "Smart Case", so I assume you mean that? I've read a couple of reviews of it, and they were quite critical regarding the fit, magnet strength, and cut-out positions.

I have a Smart Cover for the front, and use a "Cool Bananas Smart Shell" for the back. Various other 3rd party rear-shells are available. I've also seen several 3rd party equivalents of the "Smart Case" (which were released long before Apple's version), but don't know what they're like.

Lots of cases here: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/cat/iPad-2-Cases.htm

I hate covers which cover the whole iPad. It's heavy enough without adding some ugly cover. I just use a sleeve with the Apple smart cover and then can use the iPad without unnecessary weight. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Belkin-Envel...0054619&sr=8-5

I use the Tecknet case, it has been excellent for me and been tough without any problems. You can get to everything perfectly and it feels quality too. Its not too bulky but certainly protects, and the stand options make it perfect.
