Bought an iPad2 Case...or 2

I FINALLY jumped on the bandwagon & bought an iPad2 - and DANG, I wish I had thought about getting one before! These things are super cool! I was also on the hunt for the perfect case & realized in the process that the perfect case .......DOES not exist! My opinion, of course. 

Sooo, I decided to try out the Michael Kors clutch style case & my iPad fit inside like a charm! This thing is so chic looking & goes with all my outfits, from dressy to casual. It also has a sufficient amount of padding to protect your device & of course the snake print is just TIMELESS.....

It retails for about $130 at Net-a-Porter
 





Then I also ordered the Tory Burch black canvas case.  I admit, I was a bit hesitant at how much cleaning a canvas case would need, but it seems pretty ok so far! My favorite part of the case are the thick GOLD zippers, just gorgeous!! 

I also love that I can insert my iPad2 inside it like a book & just close it when I'm done! Super convenient. That's a feature this particular Michael Kors case doesn't have- but that's why I'm keeping both! 

I like having different options, just like with my handbags. Don't you?

Tory Burch case retails for $135 via Tory Burch.



So, tell me do you have either of these 2 cases? How do you like them??

  4. Wow!! Love them both. TB = biz and MK = fun. Now I need my iPad. Is it worth getting the 3G model or is there enough free wifi available these days? Just curious. Have a good weekend, miss!!

  11. I don't have an iPad in need of a case, but I do have a wrist in need of those gorgeous bracelets. Can you please tell me where you got them? Love.

    Thank you!

  12. Both cases look great! The Michael's Kor's envelope clutch looks luxe and stylish meanwhile the Tory Burch's case looks smart and more practical! Either way, both looks fabulous and you can't go wrong with either! Great picks.

    Have a wonderful weekend, Jen!

  17. They are both very cute and super stylish. I have a hot pink Marc by Marc Jacobs case, but I'd something more subtle like your snakeskin. Btw, isn't the iPad the best thing ever! The one downside is the 1st one isn't very Blogger friendly :(

    ReplyDelete
  18. wow now i want an ipad! :)

    ReplyDelete
  19. I love the first case! I feel as if you could just pop a credit card or two, some cash, and your cell phone in there and just use it as a day carrier!

  27. Don't have either case, don't even have an iPAD, but that could change, and probably will soon..... I like the chic factor of the snakeskin one, and the TB case is just classy and understated! Enjoy your new toy!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Okay, now I want an iPad JUST so I can get that Tory Burch case. LOVE!

    ReplyDelete
  29. I have an iPad1... I use the DoDo case, but is NOT as stylish as yours. I will have to add the Michael Kors to the wishlist. Do you blog on your iPad? if so, how??

    I heart your blog...love seeing what is next. Thanks for sharing.
