Select a Case for Your Tablet
Do you like this story?
If you're the proud owner of a tablet computing device, you've spent several hundred dollars on a thin, lightweight, go-anywhere electronic companion. The same attributes that make your tablet easy to tote around also make it vulnerable to scratches and dings. Coddle it in style with an add-on case that protects your investment. You'll find a dizzying array of enclosures for these popular devices, so let your budget and needs dictate your choice.

Some cases add options and flexibility. Spend $15 to $60 on an open-faced hardshell case with an integrated hand strap to make your tablet wearable. For protection that's drop- and water-resistant to three feet, invest $50 to $85 on a crushproof, foam-lined carry case with an air-pressure valve that keeps out dust and water. For $100, pick a polyurethane or leather case with removable Bluetooth QWERTY keyboard and built-in stand in your choice of 11 colors.Sleeves
For lightweight, light-duty scratch protection, slide your tablet into a sleeve. At $35 to $40, choose handmade water resistance in reclaimed racing sailcloth, fastened with hook-and-loop material and lined with insulation fabricated from recycled plastic bottles. For $150, jacket your tablet in Korean-War-era water-repellent canvas lined with neoprene and closed with water-resistant zippers.Wake From Sleep
Some cases act as "On/Off" switches. At $39 to $69, Apple's iPad 2 Smart Case automatically wakes your iPad when you open the self-aligning magnetic cover. To protect the back of the device, spend $10 for a matching rear cover from another company. For $60, buy a sleep/wake-enabled case built with a polycarbonate hardshell back and flexible thermoplastic polyurethane front. Keep these magnetized covers away from other magnets, however. As Macworld's Jason Snell points out, "I was able to confuse the iPad 2 mightily by running a fridge magnet over its right-hand edge -- the iPad unlocked and re-locked like crazy."Hardshell Cases
Hard shells offer great protection in exchange for added weight. For $70, sandwich an outer shell of shock-absorbent polymer around an impact-resistant hard plastic middle layer and a silicone interior. For $71 to $97, choose a microsuede-lined cover and louvered stand made in Holland from cherry, oak, walnut or maple and decorated with customized laser engravings. Surround your tablet in a handmade wooden case with integrated stand and latch at $315. At $370, select a rugged machined-aluminum enclosure with built-in stand and drop-resistant polymer inserts that don't block wireless antennas.
Quirky, Clever or Costly
For a quirky turn on the fabric sleeve, drop $250 on one made from
disgraced financier Bernie Madoff's pants. For $59 to $105, you can hide
an iPad inside a case hand-fabricated from a retired library book or
one that's built to look like an old-fashioned composition book. Big
spenders can go for an $8 million iPad 2 enclosure faced in
75,000,000-year-old ammolite and adorned with platinum, an 8.5-carat
diamond, Tyrannosaurus rex bone and a 24-carat solid-gold back accented
with diamonds.
