ipad cover cost?

[DawnM]

Anyone know how much that cover is going to be? I can't find any pricing!

I am getting an ipad for my b-day and am trying to price out the cases and extras.

Thanks,

Dawn

Very cool. I wish they'd had this for the first version.

Looks like the leather version is $69 and the polyurethane one is $39:

Thank you! Don't know why I couldn't find that.

Yeah, I wish they had one for the ipad 1 too.

I had a hard time finding the price, too. Not sure why they've hidden it so much. I love the cover but I've decided to get my husband a full cover (around the back, too) when I buy him his iPad for his birthday.

I'm going for a full cover for mine as well. Why just protect the screen? I like the Incase magazine cover, I hope they have one for the Ipad 2.

I got mine at Target for like $25. It is a pleather fold over type. I love it.

Also, when I was in the Orlando airport in January, my friend bought a nice one from the Disney Store with Hidden Mickey's etched in it. Pretty cute.

Well, turns out it doesn't matter anyway, I am getting an ipad 1. So this one won't work anyway.

Keep ideas coming on other covers....has anyone tried a zoogue?

Before deciding on a case for your new iPad, think about your day-to-day lifestyle. Are you one of those people that are constantly on the go? Do you spend most of your day sitting at a desk? You also need to think of where and how you will be using your iPad 2. If you are going to be using it at a desk, then you will want a case that has a stand with different viewing angles. If your plan on tracking your crops on the farm with your iPad 2, then you need to look for a heavy duty type of case that will protect your device from a hard hit or a fall. This is one of the most important things you need to keep in mind when buying an iPad case.

They are much much cheaper on ebay!!

I'd look on EBAY.....I got most of my accessories that way for a fraction of the cost of actually buying Apple branded products.

I'm making one for my step-dad's ipad. Probably will cost me about 10.00 for materials I need, and I can make it in an afternoon. His will be made out of fabric of vintage cars

I should add that if you aren't crafty or know how to sew, you can find alot of really cute ones on etsy.com.

Please note this is an older thread.

I asked about the ipad 2 cover specifically on the Apple.com store page as the ipad cover price wasn't listed.

I am still looking, although I think I have found the one I really want to get. I do not want a slide in and slide out case, I want one that is a sturdy case that will hold the ipad in several positions and stay on during use. I also want it to have a stand.

I am editing this post because, although I thought I was getting an ipad 1, turns out I can get the ipad 2 with the deal I am getting! I am very excited and very glad I didn't purchase a case yet!

Thank you!,

Dawn

Someone on this board posted an Amazon deal for one in December a nice black leather book type cover for $6.95. I bought it and it's great. Do a search at Amazon and see if any deals show up now.

I got a folio style from Amazon and LOVE it! By YooBao and also comes in black, but I got the brown.

That might have been me. I have this case and love it. People have actually complemented it too! (I don't think it is leather - but it is durable and serves its purpose.)

I think they have it in different colors too.

I have this one from Apple in pink. It's great because when it's closed, it automatically turns off the iPad.

As for as a tote, I bought the Vera Bradley mini laptop(netbook) case in my pattern and it's perfect!

A lot of sites have reduced the price on iPad 1 covers. Check out box wave.com.

Someone mentioned finding cases on etsy. I just ordered a really cute one in a fun print.

I bought the Apple flip cover in blue. I have to agree it looks great but in practice I am not impressed. But for my use around the house it works.

I also bought a padded neoprene sleeve for when I take it places. It is designed for an ipad 1 so was on sale for $5 at Target. Because it is a little bigger then the first ipad I can slide my whole ipad 2 and flip cover right in. I can then put the whole thing into any of my handbags.

I am going to invest in a Zagg screen protector as well.

The one you linked to isn't the one I have. Mine doesn't have the stand or that squarish thing on the front, but otherwise looks similar. Mine is made by Casecrown.
