Thanks iPadOne Hey Rayson00, I'll link you another post I made when someone asked: http://www.ipadforums.net/ipad-accessories/685-check-out-case-4.html#post6246 If you have any more questions about it, feel free to ask anyone on this forum.
Well with silicon its easier to carry Ipad but by adding case to it will be more protective. There are many cases available in the market these days and also there is option of getting it designed according to your requirements,style and needs.
If I had the choice, i would pick silicone because its just easier to handle but my uncle gave me his leather case because he go a better one so i'll take anything if its free !!
