Slip Your iPad 2 into a Padded Case
Slipcases, jackets, and covers for iPad 2 come in a wide range of styles and designs. Many companies offer messenger bags, briefcases, computer cases, and camera cases, for example, with padded compartments designed for a tablet. Or you can opt for a stand-alone slip case that will fit nicely into your existing case or bag. A slip case is like a custom-sized, padded envelope that your unit fits into for protection while being transported.
