Just to highlight a small tip when choosing a new case.

If you've jailbroken your iPad (or intend to), you may want to use the Activator feature.

The activator feature allows you to swipe in several fashions for controlling your ipad. For example, swiping from below the screen up to the screen to close the running application, instead of pressing the home button. This will let you avoid using the home button too often (and thus save the home button from breaking too early). In this case, you should choose a case which won't cover all the area surrounding the screen display.

For me, I use Activator to:

- close application and return to spring board : by swiping from below screen at right corner up to the screen
- put iPad to sleep mode: by swiping from below screen at left corner up to the screen
- put the running app into background mode: by swiping from below screen near center right up to the screen
