I picked up a new iPad case last night — Incase’s Neoprene Slip Case. It doesn’t have a built in stand like the Apple case, but it did come with a cheep little piece of plastic that can apparently be flexed into place to serve as a stand. Oh well.
Compared to the Apple case, this one is a vast improvement. I will miss the ability to prop up the back of the iPad in the landscape orientation for typing, but not having dirt collect on the display and the case will more than make up for it. As an additional bonus, the inside of this case is soft material that Incase describes as a “faux-fur lined interior”. This means that any fingerprints that the iPad has picked up while in use get wiped away when you slip it back in the case. Very nice. I have been able to put away the microfiber cloth that I was carrying with the iPad because of this feature.
My only complaint with this case would be getting the iPad into it — it slips in easily enough, but there is a lip that you have to flip up over the iPad to completely cover it. Because of how snug the case is, it is not very easy to flip over that lip. Apparently Incase also offers cases that zip at the top instead of flipping over the device. If given a choice, I would probably opt for that model instead.
