SwitchEasy has released the CoverBuddy, a back hard polycarbonate case for the iPad 2 that is completely Smart Cover friendly. The CoverBuddy is available now for $24.99 in 4 different colors with a soft matte rubbery finish as well as a crystal clear with a scratch-resistant UV coating.
iPad 2 users lover their Smart Covers, but they leave your iPad 2's back vulnerable to scratches and dents. Quirky's Fender bumper is here to fix all of that with its clear frosted ABS hard plastic construction and rubber corners and a back rubber border that acts as a surface grip and adds protection to the back of your iPad 2. The Fender is currently on pre-order for $18.
Dodocase, the makers of the widely popular moleskine cases for the iPad, iPad 2 and the Kindle using traditional book binding techniques have released a Dodocase for the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet. As a PlayBook user, you will be able to watch wide-screen movies and comfortably type using the Dodocase's stand and typing function. Too bad Dodocase didn't punch a hole for the back facing camera, but don't feel bad because iPad 2 users are in the same situation. $59.95 will get you one of these Dodocases which are available right now in 4 different colors.
Like Apple's Smart Cover and the amazing look of real carbon fiber? DRO Concepts has got you covered. Literally. Their new Carbon Fiber iPad 2 Case is actually an Apple Smart Cover that got the DRO Concepts treatment of real carbon fiber and soft leather lining. The price you ask? $89.99. Not a bad deal I would say. You can pre-order yours right now and expect your shiny carbon fiber cover to ship in early May.
Keeping up with the trending wood cases that are popping out of every corner, Substrata has announced new wood cases for the iPad 2 including a Tabletop wood and leather case with an integrated 6 stand positions and a lid that controls the iPad 2's magnetic on/off feature. The Artisan (pictured above), can function as a portrait and landscape stand with its magnetic lid. Last but not least, the Open is allows constant access to the iPad 2's touch screen and has full access to all buttons, cameras and ports. Prices start from $85 and shipping begins in May. Hit up the link to view all of Substrata's beautiful wood iPad 2 cases.
Still stuck with the original iPad but you just wished you could use that Smart Cover? A simple mod that requires a little bit of gluing a few magnets to the side of your iPad will make your wish come true. The downsides to this are that your iPad will not automatically lock and unlock by the Smart Cover since only the iPad 2 had built-in magnets that act as a sensor.
At last, RokForm added more color to their Rokbed aluminum iPhone 4 cases with up to 10 different color selection including a matte black finish and a new AZ31 magnesium Rokbed, the world's first and only full magnesium iPhone 4 case. Until now, Rokbeds were available in a glossy black finish only with different colored bottom parts. This is a very welcomed addition since I reviewed the Rokbed not long ago. The Rokbed aluminum iPhone 4 case will run you $79 while the Rokbed Magnesium will set you back $149.
