Marware (http://www.marware.com) is shipping the US$69.99 MicroShell Folio case for the iPad 2, an ultra-thin protective shell case that protects the entire device via a hard shell case coupled with a functional and protective sleep/wake lid.

The MicroShell Folio iPad 2 case is the thinnest and lightest case of its kind on the market and comes in three different colors (black, white, and silver), according to Stephen Heaven, Marware’s director of Product Development.

The rubberized coating on the back case offers a soft touch and feel, while also protecting against nicks and scratches. The front protective lid doesn’t cover or block any of the display screen, enabling device navigation when folded back.
