Ipad 2 cases review – Four of the best ipad 2 cases when your on the move

So its Friday and before I sign off and head the bar for a well earned drink I wanted to highlight some of the best  iPad 2 cases around at the moment. Summer is over and it is back to work for many of us and that means the dreaded commute by public transport. Now if you live in the UK and especially London then you know how awful and stressful this can be. However owning an iPad means that this is no longer a wasted and boring time but a great opportunity to use the iPad and show off to all your fellow passengers how cool and modern you are. However if you do insist on having your iPad 2 with you on this journey then you really need a iPad 2 case to not only offer good protection but adds to the coolness factor as you take the iPad from your bag. So with that in mind are 4 of the best ipad 2 cases that will do this job perfectly.

Otterbox iPad 2 Case – The defender

The OtterBox iPad 2 Defender case does exactly what is says and defends your iPad 2 at all costs. It is what you would class as a rugged case, a tough nut to crack that has been designed to put up with any environment that you find yourself in. Apparently it does this with a silicone skin that is made to absorb impacts.  Basically this is the marine of iPad 2 cases. However, although this otterbox ipad 2 case offers complete protection you can still access all the functions so you don´t have to remove the iPad 2 from the case. There is also a neat fold out stand for more convenient viewing or typing if you need too. Overall a good choice for the busiest of commuter journeys.

Griffin iPad 2 case – Survivor

Staying with the hard look image another rough and ready case I like the look of is the Griffin iPad 2 case called the Survivor. I mean the name alone says that this baby has only one goal and that is too make sure nothing gets too your ipad. In fact Griffin themselves have stated that this is “the most protective case we’ve ever built”

If the Otterbox is a marine then this baby could be called special forces. Indeed Griffin had this case tested so it met the US Department of Defense Standard 810F which means this is one mean hombre. Forget the daily commute you can basically take your iPad 2 anywhere in the world in this case as it has been created to withstand dirt, rain, sand and of course sudden impacts. It has been built from a shatter-resistant polycarbonate material that is covered in a   rugged, shock absorbing silicone. To give total protection there is a built-in screen protector to make sure the display is safe from the seals your Multi-Touch display from the outside location with a series of  hinged plugs that cover the  dock connector, camera lens, headphone port, hold switch and volume controls. If you need to view hands free there is a separate stand that clips on. If you want a action, adventure, adrenaline junkie type image for your iPad 2 then it doesn´t get better than this.  For more information on the Survivor click here —-> Griffin iPad 2 case – Survivor

 Belkin iPad 2 case  – Verve folio Stand

If the testosterone fuelled look for you iPad 2 is not your scene then you may want a little more sophistication and this is what the Verve Folio Belkin iPad 2 case offers.

Whereas the first 2 will actually growl at anybody who comes near your iPad 2 this case is more likely to give them a withering look and an acidic putdown. This apparently is a fashion inspired design that feels like it is giving the iPad a hug with a soft and smooth inner lining to keep your iPad looking pretty and fresh at all times. Unlike the Griffin and the Otterbox which do add some bulk this Belkin  ipad 2 case is lightweight and sleek and just slides into your bag with ease so perfect if you travel light or already have a lot to carry.

Incase iPad 2 case – The Magazine Jacket

Staying with slim and sleek here is the Magazine Jacket  Incase iPad 2 case that is a redesign of the Incase Convertible Magazine Jacket . Although it now has a shorter name Incase insist the functionality is still as comprehensive as before. There is a sturdy hardshell case that covers the iPad 2 back and side with a front flap to deter scratching of the display screen. The screen cover can then be folded back and converted in to a stand that gives 2 angles for watching films or playing games and one other angle if you need to do some out of hours typing. Also if you like to take pictures as you travel there is a handy pecision-cut camera hole. If you want versatility with a compact design then the Magazine Jacket (not sure about the name) is good contender.
