WaterField Designs (http://www.sfbags.com) has introduced the first its cases for the Apple iPad: the iPad Ultimate SleeveCase and the Suede Jacket.

The Ultimate SleeveCase includes shock-absorbing neoprene and screen protecting, impact-resistant plastic plus a scratch-free, screen cleaning Ultrasuede liner; the Suede Jacket’s custom sizing coupled with UltraSuede stretch memory purportedly ensures a snug fit for scratch protection. Both are available for pre-order.

The Suede Jacket, with or without an optional stretch pocket, protects the iPad from the occasional ding in a scratch- and static-free Ultrasuede case that can double as a screen cleaner. Small pull-tabs help ease iPad insertion and removal. It costs US$19 or $25 with the pocket. It’s available in black.

Users may customize with several options: horizontal or vertical case orientation, brown leather or Lead Indium trim, a shoulder strap and/or a removable “Piggyback” accessories pouch. Prices start at $55.
