Hello MrOnager... Welcome. Thank you for the heads up on the CNet - Crave article. I looked at the case you ordered and really liked it. Please let us/me know what you think of it when it comes in. Here is the link to the article I believe you were referring to:

Thanx for the welcome & that is the article. I'll be sure to give some feedback. Although everyone has their own preferences, it's still good to hear honest opinions from actual users - I'd rather not buy a pig in a poke. I also need to get my post count up so I can use this forum to its fullest extent.
Here is what I think. I agree with you that the original smart cover lacks protection to the back of the device. And I also agree with you that a cover that support multiple viewing angle would be the best. But unfortunately, I haven't found one yet. If you find one, please let us all know. With that said, to me, I'm quite happy with what I got from ecoover-covers on ebay (just google it). They are mainly selling iphone covers and has only one ipad2 cover, which is a smart cover made of high quality PU leather with back protection. They have it on sale for $29 right now. A great buy I must say. At least I'm a happy user for about one month so far.
Buy.com has a cover/screen protector combo available for $10 (as of 6/1/11) with FREE shipping. Looks like its stand works in portrait & landscape. Got 4.2 out of 5 rating so far. What can you lose for$10? See it here.

This one looks tempting to me - uses magnetic feature, covers from and back and is real leather

Received my [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Quality-Premium-Leather-built-Generation/dp/B004TJC4PW/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top"]AYL 5 in 1 case[/ame] from Amazon today and I'm very happy with it. Feels like leather, but it's something else covering carbon fiber. All sides/corners protected. All openings line up. Nice stitching. Will probably NOT accommodate the Smart Cover, but does have the on/off feature that works well. Just not sure what makes it 5 in 1.

I purchased the Acase. It has the function of the smart cover, and look like the original iPad case from apple. For the first generation. Slim, and very good case
Mophie Workbook for Ipad 2- Just got it yesterday!
Some pictures and my thoughts on a really nice case!
Really nice case, well constructed, thought out and designed. Material is really great quality and no odor, like many of the other cases we have seen around here.
Feels very solid and completely protects the Ipad providing full coverage all the way around. A great improvement over the first Workbook I think.
All the cutouts are exact and match up perfectly with all the Ipads connectors & camera.
Also it allows for screen protector and rear skin protector, very important to most of us!
Changing the bands for the front cover is a nice idea, a simple process, with several colors to choose from.
No hibernation problems when front cover is folded over.
What really struck me more than anything else was how slim it was, virtually no bulk and not a great deal of weight added to it.
The viewing angles are pretty much infinite as the velcro system allows it to be put in any position you choose, very stable, no slipping or sliding.
I think this is an extremely well made product by Mophie and it will no doubt do quite well. Out of the 4 or 5 folios I have used so far, this is the best one, no doubt!
Highly recommend it!

a few more shots and angles.....
While the cut out looks like it might not allow enough room for the entire grill, under closer examination one sees the width of the case more than compensates for the speaker. The Ipad's back curves at an inward angle right there so there is no obstruction to the grill at all. The cut out is perfectly matched to the ipads speaker grill and lines up beautifully! Could not hear any difference in sound quality at all!

Yes, closed and open. You know I felt the same way until I actually started using the original Workbook with the Ipad 1. Someone suggested I try it and I absolutely loved it, so sometimes one has to try things on to see!
I'm not familiar with those backcovers, but from the reviews I've read, users say they "add no bulk". If that's the case (no pun intended), either combo might fit, although my iPad2 fits pretty snug without a backcover. It is very stable in landscape, with the grooves deep enough that the iPad won't slip out. It will stand up in portrait mode, but I don't think it would stay that way long if you did something - like touch it. Hope that helps. I've included a couple of my photos.
