£55 seem steep for the Apple one - is it worth it?
(and 😀 we just won an iPad mini)

I had the Apple smart cover on mine, the one that just covers the screen, which was fine. Then I got the Lifeproof case so I could use it as a mapping GPS outdoors - a little bulky but reassuring and waterproof, but even more expensive. They feel kind of fragile without a case fitted imo.

Bought a Belkin leather one off Amazon for about £25

Pretty nice

The Belkin one could be a winner. Cheers.

I've got a Snugg case for mine. Holding it now. Feels like a premier product and not too pricy when compared to the competition.

Apple smart cover for day to day round the house, nice touch is that it cleans the screen.
Griffin mil spec for out and about.

Had a griffin leather case before the Belkin one. iPad slid into a pocket in it and was less bulky but meant when using Iplayer it was hard to use the slide bar at the bottom as the edge stopped you touching the screen accurately. The Belkin holds it in clips and can use the whole screen.

Switcheasy is the best IMHO

I've had one of [url= http://www.amazon.co.uk/Jisoncase-Protector-Designer-Generation-JS-IDM-01A10-black/dp/B00A2LSV30 ]these[/url] for the last year and it is excellent quality, not bulky and gives the ipad some protection.

Otterbox for us seems solid not waterproof but definitely drop proof
