Finding the best iPad 2 Cases & Covers

When it comes to tracking down the best deals on iPad 2 cases and covers, one place that I always turn to first is Amazon.  Now it may seem obvious to most, but yes…

Amazon is the #1 online marketplace for pretty much anything and everything you can imagine buying – iPad 2 cases are no exception.

However, the magic of Amazon really comes to life when you discover the secrets of how to search Amazon, and how to drill down deep into their data archives to uncover amazing deals at drastically reduced prices.

Heck… it’s not uncommon to find sellers on Amazon just giving stuff away, all in effort (most of the time) of getting you to try their products and hoping that you’ll come back to buy some more or go tell your friends about your experience.

The iPad 2 cases & covers above are a result of the digging that I’ve been doing lately on Amazon.

The iPad 3 is already here, I know that.

And there’s even rumors out that next month (October) that we’ll even see an iPad Mini – something like a 7 inch iPad (or an overgrown iPod Touch, however you want to think about it).

But just because the iPad 3 is to date the best selling iPad, doesn’t meant there aren’t millions and millions of iPad 2′s that are out there.  And iPad 2 owners are still proud, and very much in love with their tablets.

This means, there’s still a huge need for high quality iPad 2 cases & covers that can be found at amazingly low prices.

History of the iPad 2 (via Wikipedia)

The history of the iPad 2 is actually pretty interesting read.  Here’s how Wikipedia breaks it down:

Apple sent invitations to journalists on February 23, 2011 for a media event on March 2.^[14][15] On March 2, 2011, CEO Steve Jobs unveiled the device at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, despite being on medical leave.^[6] Upon the announcement of the iPad 2, the original iPad was discontinued from sales online and at Apple authorized retailed stores.^[7]

Apple began selling the iPad 2 on its website on March 11,^[8] and in its U.S. retail stores at 5 pm local time on that date. Many stores in major cities, such as New York, sold out within hours.^[16] Online shipping delays had increased to three to four weeks on Sunday and four to five weeks by Tuesday.^[17][18]

The iPad 2 was released internationally in 25 other countries on March 25, 2011. The countries included Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Ireland, Hungary, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.^[19]

The March 25 release date for Japan was postponed due to the earthquake and tsunami which struck the nation on March 11, 2011. The iPads were delayed due to the NAND flash storage chip used in the iPads being created by Toshiba, which was affected by the earthquake and tsunami thus resulting in the suspension of operations for an indefinite period of time.^[20] The slowdown caused analysts to downgrade Apple’s stock.^[21]

The iPad 2 was later released in Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia and other countries including Japan on April 29, 2011.^[9] It was then released in numerous other nations which include China, Estonia, Thailand, Brazil, Russia and Taiwan on two major release dates, May 6 and May 27.^[22][23]

The 32 and 64 GB models were discontinued on March 7, 2012 upon the introduction of the third generation iPad. The 16 GB Wi-Fi and 16 GB Wi-Fi + 3G models are still in production as of 28 June 2012.^[24]

So are you one of millions of people who are still in love with their iPad 2?  And if you are, did you buy your iPad 2 brand new or used from someone else?
