i picked up my iPad 3 on launch day and really wanted a good case for it but there were not many out because of the small changes apple made from the iPad 2 and case manufacturers betting they wouldn't change.
what the case had to have: front and back protection, some kind of locking cover, able to be positioned at several angles while sitting on a table, and magnetic on/off.
the first one i really liked was the targus versavue but the reviews were not favorable, iPad would fall out, magnetic on/off doesn't work. targus has been replacing the cases if you contact them but as far as i know they are not shipping ones that work.
the one i ended up purchasing was the belkin folio and i really like this case plus every feature works as intended. it has 4 rubber corners you put the iPad in that keep it mounted to the back side of the case, a rear camera hole (for all those times you take pictures with it
), it can be set a many different angles without having to remove any part of the iPad as i have seen with other cases, magnetic on/off, and a magnetic latch for the front cover that can be flipped back to keep it out of the way. the only cons i have seen in this case have been that the front cover is a little flimsy and the strips for keeping it at an angle do not hold very strongly (they do work well but if you are moving it they can slip), and you can only stand the iPad in landscape (the versavue is able to rotate and stand in portrait or landscape)
