    Wouldn't trust a case like that above, too small and too many edges are still open to knocks.

    I looked at almost everytype of case out there that you can buy and nothing comes close to offering full protection like the Griffin Survivor. Most of the cases you see, don't cover the sides and only just the top and bottom.

    I bought a Griffin Survivor case for my iPad 2, proper full protection that protects everything, the edges, the ports, the screen and the back. The case is in two parts, the hard prastic and the silicone.

    I travel everywhere with it and never had a problem with it. It does cost a lot, but if you look on eBay you might be able to get it cheaper then retail.

    I got mine for £30.

    Another vote for the Survivor. My 5 year old has had an iPad 2 for a year in a Survivor and there's not a mark on it. It's been dropped down stairs, out of bunk beds etc. It's a fantastic case.

    I have an STM case which I absolutely love. It covers the sides, has a "smart case style" cover and has a sort of tough fabric look to it, which means that the case won't mark or scratch. It's pretty light compared to cases I've owned in the past.
