iPad cases can be truly a work of art, whether they're made of recycled materials, hard-to-grip plastic, or faux leather. This week, we've got some pretty good looking--and yes, functional--iPad cases that'll protect your tablet and show it off in style.
We're not entirely sure about how stylish this Cloak really is. The silicon covering that sheilds the iPad feels flimsy, and the pop out portrait stand is not too attractive when you turn the case on its side. At least when you close the flap, the iPad is protected by the case's rugged rubber shell. And, the hinge goes all the way around, which lets you position the iPad into many different orientations.

We're absolutely smitten by the design on this case. However, this is definitely the kind of outfit for the home-dwelling, table top tablet, and not for the rugged commuter types. We'd actually be afraid of smashing through the case's intricately crafted contemporary exterior. The Macedonia, as the design is referred to, is 3D and comes with a nifty built-in stand for propping up your device. (3.5/5 | 99.95 euros, or ~$130.81)
Speck's iPad folio is a good move into the professional business world, while still holding on to that young, hip, urban flair that the brand is so well known for. We like this case for its simplicity, and the fact that it sturdily holds up the iPad so we can comfortably watch a flick or type out an email. (4/5 | $49.95)
Not everyone likes to hole up their iPad inside of a Folio or keep it bound by a snap-on case. This sleeve from Aire, made from recycled billboards, is not only fashionable, but the gripped lining also keeps your iPad from falling out. Plus, there's a bit of padding on each end that keeps the iPad nicely cushioned from accidental falls. (4/5 | $34.00)
