What is the best iPad 2 Cover?

Title says it all, really. I'm not impressed with the reviews for the Smart Cover. Is it good? Is there something better? Thanks!

The Dodo Case. or even nicer the Pad and Quill case (link seems broken now) so see it here .

After I spent so much on the iPad I didn't wan't to spend another $60 so I made a knock off of one of these. Instructable here The homemade is nice but it came out a little bulky. If this one ever falls apart I'll go back for the Dodo Case. It looks and feels like a book, covers both sides and is, in general, pretty cool.

I've got one of the Zagg cases. I like it because of the look - matte aluminium finish - and because it provides good protection to the screen. I started with the Apple case that was marketed with it (iPad 1 not 2), but found that it did not provide enough protection when it was in my bag, as it too easily got separated from the screen.

I dropped the iPad the other day and it landed on the corner of the case. No damage to the iPad, seems that the case did protect it.

I've got the one without the keyboard, but a friend has the one with the keyboard and loves loves loves it.

I didn't like the Apple Smart Cover simply because it didn't cover the back at all. I knew I'd be tossing the thing onto all sorts of surfaces as if it were a magazine so I had to get something for the back.

I am not saying this is the best cover, but I like the one I picked, and I like the Incase brand overall:

It's pretty minimal. The back is solid plastic that clips on very tightly. The whole thing is matte finished which is nice, doesn't hold fingerprints very well. The cover works great as a cover and isn't annoying; its usefulness as a stand is somewhat limited but it can be used to prop it up a bit. Like that first pic where it's being used as a stand at the bottom... that is not physically possible without a little bit of duct tape unless I am missing something.

4-5 months of travelling around in my bag day to day and visiting a few states and it has zero problems.

I got it at Best Buy for $50 or $60.

I use the iMainGo XP as a case. They are portable speakers that also serve as an iPad stand and a case that protects your device. I use it with Hulu Plus and it's almost like a mini-home theater. It's kind of an all-in-one accessory and is great on the go and at home. I bring it into the kitchen and can watch cooking videos while I cook. I work with a company that works them and their products are pretty impressive. You can get it at Amazon: http://amzn.to/ritvtj

Hands down, go with the Switcheasy Canvas: http://www.switcheasy.com/products/CANVAS_iPad2/

I have had Switcheasy cases for three generations of iPhone and now my iPad2. They are remarkable quality for the price: a perfect fit, great tactile quality, perfect cushioning for drops. Seriously, the best.
