Capulet Sharon Case

Crafted from pure Spanish leather, hand crafted and dyed using natural vegetable colouring, the Sharon case from Capulet London is as trendy an iPad pouch as one could reasonably ask to find. It’s practical, too, with a pop fastening to prevent your iPad clattering out ungainfully onto the floor while you’re flaunting it about town.

£95 from Capulet London

Belkin Snap Shield

The Snap Shield offers super-minimalist protection for your iPad 2, with a translucent hard plastic shell that clips onto the back of the tablet. The case is soft to the touch, although it doesn’t offer any protection for the screen – best pair it with an Apple Smart Cover

Pipetto Hunter Wanderer

Pipetto’s Hunter Wanderer covers aren’t just for iPhones, no sir! They also come in jumbo iPad-sized versions, letting you deck out your tablet in the same stitched waxed cotton and Italian leather jacket as your phone. The tablet version also packs a leather carry handle, although the resulting look might be a little too handbag-y for some.

£99.99 from Pipetto

Incipio Hive Honeycomb

A high tech shock absorbing shell that’s flexible and sports a honeycomb design, which also provides extra grip when the iPad is placed flat on a surface. The silicone is coated in a special anti-static coating, to stop it getting sticky, and the case has cut-out sections for the lock button and charging slot.
