Leather iPad 2 Cases

I think the leather material protection is the best for handsets and other mobile computing devices such as tablets. iPad 2 is no exception. Here, we will make a close look to best leather iPad 2 cases which are worth of buying in terms of quality, durability, style and price tag.

By the way, I wanted to update this hub according to the new iPad 3. If you want to learn more about iPad 3 case models, please follow this link.

It is really hard to find a genuine cowhide leather case for iPad 2. There are lots of case models in the market which are marketed as leather, but they are actually leatherette (imitation leather) mostly pressed on a plastic layer so that they will look like real leather.

Melkco iPad 2 covers are handcrafted from genuine leather. The quality level is top rated and visible to eye and hands when you touch them. Below, I have included their best selling models and written about the common features.

This is my favorite iPad 2 accessory. It is essentially an elegant leather case for the tablet, but doubles as a 3-angle stand. It also takes advantage of magnetic sleep function of the new Apple tablet. So, when you open the cover, iPad 2 will automatically wake up; it will go to standby mode when the front cover of the case is closed. The case has perfect fit for the device and all functions and features of the iPad 2 is openly accessed including the rear-facing camera (thanks to a special cutout on the back)

There are two more interesting leather iPad 2 cases from Melkco.

The book type model is similar to the Kios type. It doubles as a stand in both portrait and landscape screen orientations. There is an extra pocket inside for papers. It also features a cutout for rear-facing camera, plus there are cutouts for iPad 2 speakers. The special section on the back makes the carrying iPad 2 easier.

The second model is oto holder. It provides the maximum coverage for iPad 2 both screen and body. Similar to traditional pouch cases for mobile phones, you use a sliding band to take out the iPad 2 from the case. The tablet fits the case perfectly, securely. Magnetic button on the top makes the case more secure against accidental drops thru slides.

You can order these cases online on CarryMobile.com website exclusively with free shipping worldwide. If we compare the quality of cases to their price tags, these handmade authentic leather iPad2 cases turn into a perfect purchase for iPad 2 owners.

This is currently the best selling and top rated leather iPad 2 case stand on Amazon. Made from PU leather which has consistent texture. So, it is much easier to clean and more durable than full top grain leather.

It is a nice form-fitting case which doubles as a stand as well. The cover is magnetic so it will take advantage of auto open/close of iPad 2. It has opening for camera and the inside is made from soft fibre material which is protective against scratches. You can use the Apple iPad 2 in portrait and landscape modes.

We have just reviewed the PU leather iPad 2 case by Snugg. Now, if you need more quality in leather material you can prefer Bear Motion case for the Apple's second generation tablet. Top grain is the second best qualified leather after the full grain. Since full grain leather is heavy, generally not preferred for handsets and mobile devices where the aim is to provide protection without adding bulk and extra weight. This case is made from genuine top grain leather and processed properly to minimize weight while not sacrificing on durability.

Amazon customers provided 7 reviews so far and 5 of them are five stars while 2 of them are two stars. Just read the reviews. You will understand why you can pay for this iPad 2 case with piece of mind.

Let's continue to increase quality (and price tag respectively). Tuff Luv has special iPad case collection which is nominated in Macworld Awards 2010. Now, they have changed these cases to fit new iPad 2 design. All are handmade from genuine cowhide leather.

These are very elegant cases with specific themes. I have added some of the direct Amazon links to right side for your comparison. For example, I have added their Stasis Tri-Axis black color images below.
