->> I am taking receipt of my iPad 2 later today.
What kind of case/shell-type protection are you guys using? |

->> Scott -- I was looking at that, but have not seen one in person.
Does the screen get any smudges from the keys (like the G3 PowerBooks used to)? |

->> I use the LensCoat iPad Neoprene Sleeve ... works grreat for carrying the iPad around by itself ... and a little extra cushion when stored in my camera bag ... it's stretchy enough to fir over the Zaggmate as well ...

| ->> Michael, no smudges from the keys, only the fingers. I like it since it provides protection and a bluetooth keyboard together in one package. The case has the same coloration and finish as the Ipad so it almost looks like it was made by Apple. It also adds very little "bulk" to the tablet. |

->> I just picked up the Survivor from Griffin at Best Buy, https://store.griffintechnology.com/ipad/survivor
It might seem like overkill to most people, but I have the Otterbox Defender for my iPhone 4, so I like the protection it offers. I know that it makes the iPad thick, but I'm more concerned about protecting it. If I hand it to an Art Director on a shoot, I have no worries about how it's handled. |

->> I have the Zagg case as well. Really like to have the keyboard, but there are a couple of things that I don't like about it. One is the iPad doesn't fit snug and so if you pick it up wrong there is a chance of the iPad falling to the ground.
And second I don't like have the keys so low in the case with the ridges as my wrists seem to come to rest on the ridges quite often which is fairly uncomfortable.
What I do like about is that I don't have to take the keyboard with me if I don't want to like some of the other keyboard cases. As much as I like having it I definitely don't think it's worth the price when you have some of the other options available with a keyboard. |

If you don't want to wait on the shipping, they have it at Best Buy. |
