: The ($55) is a versatile cross between a man-purse and a case. It has a handy strap for carrying your device around, and its hybrid silicone/microfiber construction keeps the iPad safe while allowing full access to its screen and controls. The case even flips around to become a nice landscape stand.

Also from Moshi is the , a $30 sleeve that comes in gray, beige, purple, or black. It's zipperless, Velcro-free and just plain stylish.

: Despite this company's off-the-beaten-path marketing, the design of its cases is rooted in classic style. The ($20), for example, features a leather look and can also be used as a landscape stand or a typing platform. For a more unique look, you could also go with the , which features a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy-inspired inscription on the front. I half-expected the latter case to cost $42, but it's currently on sale for $25 (regularly $30).

: The ($25) comes in a rich, leather finish and works as both a landscape or portrait stand and a standard case. It's available in black or red.
