The Register Reviews iPad Slipcases, Skins and Folio Cases

The Register reviews 46 iPad cases including slipcases, skins and folios from 17 different manufacturers.

My personal preference is for a soft skin (like the iSkin Duo made by iSkin, which is conspicuously absent from the review) that lets the design of the iPad show-through. I find the Apple Folio (it always reminds me of the Gestapo officer's folio in The Great Escape; it's memorable because he had a rather quirky way of closing it using a one-handed motion) case rather craptacular in aesthetics but I cannot deny its practicality. It is the most popular case in my iPad sightings; I have never seen a bare iPad nor any other case so far.

I currently don't use a case (as evidenced by the scratches on the rear of the iPad) and I carry it in my messenger bag wrapped in a cloth place-mat inside a large padded manila envelope (in which Apple shipped me the 3G micro-SIM).

Photo to come.
