Different companies introduced different styles and types of cases and bags made up of leather and rubber to use as Apple iPad 2 sleeves.

- Timbuk2 Pop-Up – Timbuk2’s upcoming Pop-Up case is kind of a hybrid sleeve/hard case, with a rigid front for added protection, and a faux fur lining on the inside. As its name implies, it’s also designed to allow you to prop up your iPad–whichever model you have–and be used as a viewing stand. Alas, this Timbuk2 case isn’t due out until July. It will retail for US$39 and will come in multiple colors. Photo credit: Timbuk2
