Got a really nice one today for $4 on monoprice.
Really happy with it...it is called the "Premium TPU Case for iPad2" i got it in black and its super cool. Has checkers all across the back.

The new Zerochroma cover for iPad 2 is out. You can check it out online. I'm getting it because you can use it with the smart cover as well.

Otterbox defender!
Pros: its' a tank! covers all sides of the ipad 2
Cons: kinda makes ipad 2 heavier, rubber cover on the back attracts dust
I've been using it for a while now, love it!!

Just ordered a sky blue roof of heaven leather case from Oberon. Can't wait! I have the apple stock lime green smart cover right now. Tired of it.

You'll love it. I've got the sky blue butterfly cover - it's a thing of beauty.

Does the ipad2 version have the magnetic sleep feature on the top part of the cover? It's not clear to me on their web site.

No, unfortunately it doesn't. It's like their other covers - bookstyle with their traditional closure. The iPad is held by straps. I have multiple cases, thus I don't mind that.

That is somewhat a bummer. Can you make your own on/off cover switch by attaching a magnet? Where is the on/off magnet inside the pad located?

I had the Switcheasy Canvas when I first got my iPad 2 and it was a good case with nice stand options and offered good protection but I still found it a bit heavy when I wanted to use it just for reading in the portrait position.

I got the Yoobao Executive leather case the other day and I love it so far it has the auto/sleep wake feature and is a very light case and offers some okay stand features. It doesn't offer as much protection as the Switcheasy Canvas does but thats a compromise to having a lighter case.

I love my Happy Owl Clutch for the iPad 1. It is my primary purse but slips nicely into a larger bag, if necessary. I plan to get the version for the iPad 3 as soon as it is available. Hopefully the iPad 2 and iPad 3 form factor will be the same so I won't have to wait too long.

Hey,mine is bluetooth keybord case for my ipad 2,it works fine to provide fully protection with my ipad 2...

Not meant as a criticism of your choice and since I haven't tried it I can't comment specifically on this particular case. Just some points to keep in mind when purchasing a standalone keyboard or a combo keyboard/iPad case.

() A physical keyboard must withstand more actual use and abuse than any other component of your iPad. It's a mechanical device, not simply an electronic component. As such its build quality is crucial. And what appears to function well on day one may not be nearly as satisfactory on day 180 after it has been pounded on day after day.

In short, it's false economy to buy a keyboard that won't withstand that sort of use. Name manufacturers like Apple, Microsoft, Targus, and Logitech produce rugged keyboards. Anonymous keyboard manufacturers may not be as committed to that standard.

() Combo keyboard/iPad cases are almost inevitably designed with a small cramped keyboard to fit the form factor of the iPad. (The only exception to this rule I'm aware of is a new combo case from Logitech with a folding keyboard.) Be sure you're willing to adjust to the small, closely spaced keys. And if you will be using a full size keyboard part of the time, that may be a difficult adjustment.

() Combo keyboard/iPad cases usually restrict the use of the iPad in landscape orientation. One of the strengths of the iPad is the capacity to enter text in portrait mode. The screen real estate on the iPad is already limited. Be sure you'll be happy typing in landscape mode 100% of the time.
