Even though Apple has come out with some really cool iPad 2 cases, the best are coming from competitors. Here are some of the sleek iPad 2 cases which are beating out the Smart Cover with their nice style and functionality. 

One of the most talked-about iPad covers right now is the Miniot Cover which is actually made of wood.  This definitely gives the iPad case a really nice, sleek style that also sets it apart from the countless black or silver options.  What really makes the Miniot wood iPad cases cool though is that they can be folded up into different angles so you can position your iPad in various ways.  With this cheap iPad case coming in at about $70, you can turn your iPad into a laptop easily!

If you are looking for a cool but really cheap iPad case, then consider the Origami Workstation.  We love the way that this iPad case can be quickly folded into various positions so you can put your tablet up like it is a computer monitor and then attach a wireless keyboard.  If the keyboard component is important to you, then you may want to go with the Apple iPad keyboard case where the keyboard is actually incorporated into the case for easy transport and use.

For those who put their iPad through hell and back, then you will need to consider iPad 2 cases like the Belkin which actually covers the front and the back of your tablet. If you want something really unique and also a cheap iPad case, then check out sites like Etsy.com where you can get handmade cases out of materials like quilts and felt.
