Here is Speck Products lineup of iPad carrying cases and covers. Speck products makes trendy accessories with a twist. They are even one of the rare few to actually be picked up by Apple’s retail stores. The lineup includes two different carrying cases, and one hard case for the iPad available in a variety of styles. While not heavy on the features, they are heavy on style and will make your iPad look and feel good. Check out our reviews below…

PixelShield Carry Sleeve

For when your pixels need shielding… and carrying. This is a lot like the Pixel Sleeve Plus but smaller, more basic. The handle is built in to the material, which is the same textured neoprene, but comes in red in addition to black. It definitely is a snug fit. However, it could be a convenient place to throw your passport and airline tickets while making your way through the gauntlet of lines. Then you can play with your iPad and have quick draw action for your documents when the security personnel not so politely demand to see them. The Speck Pixel Sleeve for iPad is available for $39.95 on Amazon.

Pixel Sleeve Plus

The Pixel Sleeve Plus boasts three layers of shielding for the iPad. First, is a textured neoprene outer skin that is a little stretchy and fits tightly around your iPad with a padded zipper. Next is what they call a middle layer to care for hard impacts such as dropping the case or hitting it accidentally. Finally, the interior is a cushy micro fleece lining so the iPad can sleep soundly during transport. They claim that it’s design will get you through airport security more quickly. This is a no frills iPad case but if this thing can work that kind of a miracle, I’m getting it. $39.95 and comes in a Greyish Black.

iPad Fitted Case

Two perfectly fitted hard case pieces combine to make this classic case. As far as hard cases go, these are by far our favorites in styling and color schemes. These fitted hard cases for the iPad still have access to all the controls, buttons, connections, and sensors. And they are not all plastic, the soft fabric on the exterior will make it easy to keep a grip on. These cases make your iPad feel and look very sexy. They come in three trendy and fun designs, so finding one you like won’t be hard. Our personal favorite is the Classic Plaid in Pink and Grey. It also comes in Houndstooth black and grey, and Tartan Plaid, which is a playful, retro, black and white take on plaid. $49.95.
