Case-Mate Reveals iPad Cases
Quirky.com Pre-Selling Cloak iPad Case
My post about the concept for a refrigerator mount for iPad on Quirky.com allowed my to stumble on the Cloak case for iPad.
The crowdsourced product resembles an office folder which, I believe, is partly the inspiration for its name. Your iPad slides into the case through an opening at the top and is held in place by a friction grip. It’s constructed of non-slip rubber and durable plastic on the hinge mechanisms. More, including gallery, after the jump.
iPad As Kitchen Appliance?
Magical Tablet reader Dave Emery pointed me toward a product idea on Quirky.com for an iPad Refrigerator Mount for your kitchen. Dave is interested in such a mount for his home, as well as one for his home workshop (he’s a model train aficionado).
Submitted by Quirky member Wendy Skavlem, her general concept is as follows:
A frame with detachable case/skin for the iPad that you can mount on your refrigerator, around the center or “hub” of family activity. The iPad refrigerator mount would have a swivel mechanism to view vertically or horizontally. The case/skin with iPad can be easily removed for use elsewhere and would have a kickstand (similar to a picture frame) that can be propped vertically or horizontally. The package would come with a screen protector.
Philips Wants Us To Know That They’re Ready for iPad. Sort of.
Philips Electronics is ready for iPad. You can’t actually buy anything yet, but the pictures are pretty.
On the company’s U.S. consumer products site, they tease us with cases, speakers and screen protection for iPad – but no word on when, where or how we can buy them. Hopefully they’ll share the details with us soon.

CODI Introduces Neoprene iPad Sleeve Case, Available Now

Their Capsule Neoprene Case for iPad is available now and features a contrasting breathable spacer fabric front with red contrast stitching detail and is designed to protect the iPad from bumps and scratches.
Incipio Cases for iPad
Incipio has revealed not one but four case styles for the iPad.
The dermaSHOT is a 4mm-thin form-fitting silicone rubber case featuring a smooth, anti-static outer coating protecting everything except the screen, ports and silence switch.
The Feather is a 1mm-thin polymer case with a soft touch matte finish, two surface protectors (I’m assuming that means screen protectors), a cleaning cloth and access to all ports. The company claims that it should work with “most docks” though I’m not sure how they’d know, yet.
The duroSHOT DRX is a hybrid case that wraps the iPad in a soft, flexible NGP (next-generation polymer) material while armoring the sides and back with a hard shell protection.
The NGP Matte is is a thin, soft case made from a semi-rigid material that is said to be both “tear and elongation resistant” while providing access to all ports and controls. Gallery after the jump.

The company creates truly custom cases for the iPhone 3G/3GS and soon, for the iPod Touch, BlackBerry Storm II and iPad.
TUAW Gives Their Impressions of an iPad…Mockup
The development team at HardCandy dropped by the TUAW booth at MacWorld this year and brought with them the mockup they’ve been using for creating their iPad cases. These folks put in a lot of time and effort to create a replica of an iPad using a variety of inputs “including stats from Apple’s site, information from over 300 pictures of the keynote (in which they compared the iPad’s dimensions to things like a wristwatch band), and even some not-quite-public plans from an unnamed Chinese manufacturer.” Video after the jump. Hit the link for their complete “review”.
