The (iPad 3; $79) is a leather case that features a two-piece assembly to allow maximum freedom of movement. It's designed to work in conjunction with Apple's Smart Cover, offering additional protection during transport. It comes in black, tea, white floater, black floater, or red floater.

This company is releasing for the third-generation iPad, starting with the (iPad 3; $60), which is an elegant, wraparound case inspired by Apple's Smart Cover. It keeps the iPad securely attached using Magic Tape, and the flexible, partitioned top curls up to hold the iPad at an angle for viewing. It's available in blue, black, red, grey, or orange.

The (iPad 3; $60) is a folio-style case built using a leather-like material with textured finishes. It's compatible with the iPad's magnetic sleep/wake feature, and it comes in dark brown/light brown or black/black color combinations.

The (iPad 3; $50) combines a hardshell back case and a stand in a single, convenient package. A clever plastic tab pops out of the case when you need to prop up your iPad for viewing or typing, and conveniently folds away at other times. The case, which comes in white, also features soft-rubber sides that both improve your grip and help keep the case steady in stand mode.

The (iPad 3; $90) is a folio-style leather case that folds into a stand for viewing videos and typing. It supports the iPad's magnetic sleep/wake feature and comes in black/dark brown, brown/dark brown, or lipstick pink.
