The streaks are just where the cover doesn't touch the screen due to the fold areas. I get the same thing with my targus 360 case as it has 3 seams and the dust doesn't get wiped away. Not an issue at all, it's just dust which wipes away with a brush of your fingers :)

I am getting a black leather smart cover as a birthday gift next week and am really looking forward to it!

Sweet. I can't wait, then. :D From day one that's what I wanted, I was skeptical because some said the magnets left marks and that those ridges left permanent streaks.. but I'll be very ginger with that screen so I won't have a problem.

I have a bunch of Saddleback Leather items, and they make just about the best leather products on the face of the planet - but I don't like the design of their iPad cases. The leather case which I do have, though, is from Oberon Design.

I will have to check that out. I'm just a fan of saddle backs products. More if a fan of any good quality leather items though.

The saddleback seems to be a great case, there are some reviews to find on the net...but the leather does not support a typing position so I didnt buy it.

It has enough lift for me to type when I fold the case over and and put the straps in the slot. If I need it to be a lil more sturdy then I will slide my iPhone in the gap sideways.

Just bought my iPad2 this week and immediately went to get a smart cover after seeing the video on how it works. I have to say though, I'm a little disappointed at how flimsy it is for the price, and the fact that there's no back protector to go with it. Its a little bit awkward for standing up at first. Also falls off easily if you flip it back when holding your iPad. I do however, like the tight magnetic fit when its closed and how it turns the device on and off when opening and closing...i also wish they offered more colors.

I was at a CVS store and noted they had silicone cases for iPad and iPad2 - looked nice but I don't think the smart cover would work. Ten dollars for the iPad2 version

I bought the smart case with the iPad2, but within a week got an Otter Box Defender case. It suited me better, as I may be a little rough with it (but haven't dropped it as yet) and i felt I could carry the iPad with more confidence. I do not need the military spec ruggedness of the griffin survivor case, and prefer to touch and see the lovely iPad screen in all its glory, so did not get a case with built in screen protector. Not fussed on looking fashionable, but as they say black goes with anything. The Otter Box does have it's flaws and those choosing a case you just have to pick the most suitable, and for my usage it was the defender case.

I want to share my case from Reauthored. They make them by hand out of old books. It's a really cool looking case, not too heavy and nobody notices me carrying around an iPad anymore, just this old book. :)

The problem with that case is that you have no access to any of the ports and buttons. I love the idea of a case made out of a printed book and have made several myself - making sure all ports/buttons are accessible.
My latest one is here:
iPad 2 cover/case made from a published book by DressedByManuela

Here is one I made a while ago - perfect for a girl that loves cupcakes :)

I am happy to do custom orders ;)

Leather case with removeable keyboard

Saw this case in one of those airport stores. It was real good leather with a removable keyboard that was velcroed on.It was 139.00 and I thought a little high in price. Didn't get the name of it. Anyone seen anything like this? Or what would you recommend with a keyboard that is removable.

I just got a handmade Portenzo case and it's utterly amazing. Just what I hoped. Looks like I'm carrying around a notebook like the old days. So many nice touches and I love the small hole for the camera covered by the cover strap and, finally, a convenient spot to carry my stylus.
