Beyzacases' Leather Executive II iPad 2 Case With Smart Cover Look

Beycases' latest creation is a wonderful one. The Executive II for the iPad 2 is a leather case with a Smart Cover look and functionality. Those who seek full protection for their iPad 2 will find the Executive II leather case to fit the bill just right. Or maybe not. It bares a hefty price tag of €129.95 (about $192), which isn't so bad when compared against Vaja's prices. The Executive II case acts in the same way as a Smart Cover and can fold into a stand for a typing position as well as a portrait viewing angle. In addition to stand functionality, the Executive II employs the same magnetic features as of the Smart Cover to keep closed while not in use as well as waking and locking the iPad 2 using the front flap. 

The Executive II leather case for the iPad 2 is now available for pre-order in 4 different leather colors and is expected to ship on May 25.

Hardcore Aluminum iPad 2 Case Made By LTD Tools

This has got to be the most industrial metal case for the iPad 2 in the world. This aluminum iPad 2 case is made by LTD Tools which are known for making some crazy looking metal cases for the iPhone. Its got an auto on/off lid feature that works with the iPad 2 and has a folio style to it that can be propped using the front cover as a vertical and horizontal stand while a smaller part of the cover pops out when you need a typing angle or if you wish to hang your iPad 2 on a wall. Hate that Apple slapped a speaker on the back of the iPad 2? LTD Tools' aluminum iPad 2 case has got the fix for just that with a slot for you to insert a business card into in order to better direct the sound towards you.

If you're into aluminum cases, this one might be an interesting contraption and it will set you back $140. Just a friendly warning, LTD Tools' website has got to be the most unorganized site I've ever seen so brace yourselves for an unfriendly customer experience browsing the site. Hit up the link to see some more images to get an idea of how exactly this aluminum folio will work.

Vaja's Leather Agenda For iPad 2 Is Mouth Watering

Vaja continues to impress its leather sniffers by outing its popular Leather Agenda 2 leather folio case for the iPad 2 called the Leather Agenda. Why is Vaja charging you $220 for its new Leather Agenda over its Libretto for the iPad 2 that is priced at $160 and basically has the same exact functionality and style is beyond me. It might be because Vaja's Leather Agenda bares an elastic band for closure while the Libretto does not. So if you love the Libretto but want a secure closure system, pay an extra $60 and you have yourself an elastic band. Like any other Vaja case, the Leather Agenda for the iPad 2 is fully color customizable and handcrafted. It's available right now and will take 35 days to handcraft until it will be ready to ship out straight to your door.
