I just ordered my iPad 2 from MacMall. They said it's expected to ship the first week of April. 
Best Buy has the Targus 360 case in stock. I saw them when I was there last night. It looks like a pretty nice case. I think I might go get one and imagine my iPad 2 is in it... until it arrives in a couple weeks or so.
lol

These end of the week reviews/lists are very informative and useful. Thanks!
But there's SO many offerings out there! It would be 10 times better if you could add a simple picture gallery of all of them. There's like 40 links in this page, to different manufactures. There's no need to spend that much energy/time clicking (and leaving the site) to check the look of the cases if we could have all that on this page.
Now, back to link number 11.

I wish more vendors would create high resolution images that you could zoom in and take a closer look at the products. So many of these vendors have very small images, or don't include images from all angles. It seems really difficult to purchase a case based on most of these vendors sites.

I gotta agree with respin4. I pretty much ignore these long listings of products and instead search for ones you've actually reviewed (or that users have reviewed). I sure don't have time to review them all to find the 4 and 5 star ones.

I bought my iPad 2 on day of release from a Walmart that does not generally cater to tech users. I arrived at 4 pm, and was thrilled to find I was # 3 in line. They only had about a dozen units, and the line filled up shortly after I arrived. I was able to get the black 32 gb wifi-only that I was looking for. I walked out of the store, ipad in hand at 5:06pm! The next day I went to BestBuy and got the Targus 360. Great case, I highly recommend it. My iPad gets used by several little ones and the Targus really protects it (except from the greasy little fingers!) I'm very pleased with the 360 adjustable orientation, and also being able to prop it up at 3 different angles. The cutouts line up perfectly. Fake leather, yes, but it looks great!

Grove cases makes a case that combines precision-machined bamboo with a custom-engraved leather fold front (imagine Apple's leather front, but with a back, and considerably more style by the look of it): <http://www.grovemade.com/products/ipad-2-case-pre-order>

We have an idea for a iPad 2 smart cover glove. Here's a YT vid giving more details. Any feedback would be great.

Two mistakes in the second paragraph!
It's spelled Beyza
They're made in Turkey, 99% of which is in Asia.
But they are good cases. Lovely leather and well designed.

It would be REALLY awesome if Serenity Caldwell and Stephanie Kent (Macworld intern) would join forces and put together an article like this for WOMEN, you know, cute/sexy/girly bags to carry our iPads around in. These bags are always so masculine looking. Let's see some high-fashion feminine ones!
