Sweet Targus and Kensington cases for your new iPad - Enter to win
To start with, the Versavu is a sharp-looking iPad case -- it comes in a pair of two-tone models (white and gray, pink and gray) and two solid color models (gray, black). The exterior is made of a soft-touch material that is easy to clean, but feels almost like cloth. For Moleskine fans, there's a black elastic cord that keeps the case closed in transit. If you use a stylus with your iPad, Targus even includes an exterior elastic tube for holding it in place. If you're looking for a way to turn the iPad on and off with the case, that's not going to happen -- there are no magnets to do the task.
But the one feature that really sets the Versavu apart from other cases is the ability to rotate the iPad. You can choose to spin it 360° if you wish, but most iPad owners will just use the swivel to move the case between landscape and portrait orientations.
The iPad is held in place in a hard TPU shell. The new iPad was easy to install and remove from that shell, meaning that Targus had access to dimensions well in advance of the 3rd-generation iPad announcement. Once your iPad is in place, there are three tilt angles at which you can set the case.
Like most Targus products, the Versavu is well-made, reasonably priced, and looks good. Owners of the newest iPad can't go wrong selecting this case to protect their investment.
The KeyFolio Pro 2 is a bit thicker than the Versavu thanks to the keyboard. The exterior is made of what I believe is leather -- at least it smells like leather. Part of that exterior has a nice rough surface for gripping, which will be helpful to anyone who had an iPad slip out of his or her hand. As with the Versavu, there's an elastic band to keep the case closed. Using a leather bezel cover to hold the iPad in place, the KeyFolio Pro 2 has a soft backing to avoid scratching your preciouussss. The keyboard is held into place in the case using strong magnets. The magnets that hold the keyboard in place don't work to turn your iPad on and off. When the keyboard is removed, you can use it in the most comfortable position for your needs. The case includes a USB to micro-USB cable for charging the battery. As with the Adonit Writer 2 Plus keyboard, the KeyFolio Pro 2 keyboard is excellent for typing. While neither of the keyboards are as wide as the Apple Wireless Keyboard, both provide excellent typing feedback and within minutes I found myself typing at a surprisingly fast rate with uncanny accuracy. Check out the video below for some details of the KeyFolio Pro 2, and then be sure to enter the giveaway for one of these two great cases for your read more..
As soon as the new iPad was announced on March 7, TUAW began receiving word of new cases designed specifically for the device. Since the new tablet is a bit thicker than the iPad 2, it was necessary for manufacturers to either figure out a way to hold both models securely in a case or to come out with a totally new case for the third-generation iPad. In this review, I take a look at two cases -- the Targus Versavu and the Kensington KeyFolio Pro 2 -- that work with the latest member of the iPad family. At the end of the review, you can enter to win one of the two cases.
Targus Versavu
Targus was the first to come to market with a case for the new iPad. This case actually showed up before the announcement, with the box clearly marked "for iPad 3rd Generation." While Targus has a full line of cases specifically for the new iPad, the Versavu (US$59.99) is a multi-tasker that should please just about any iPad owner.

Kensington KeyFolio Pro 2 (removable keyboard, case and stand)
While the Versavu was designed and built specifically for the new iPad, the Kensington KeyFolio Pro 2 (US$99.99) works with both the iPad 2 and the newer model. It's a real multi-tasker, providing protection, a stand, and a removable Bluetooth keyboard in a folio-type case.
