The cases sell for $59.95, fit original iPad and iPad 2 and are water resistant. If you order one now, they won't charge your card until it actually ships.&nbsp;</p>

holy crap! I could buy this, and carry my iPad in my regular luggage, and it may survive being crammed into the overhead compartment ... impressive!

I don't know. Is bowling balls falling on a flat iPad a big problem? It is impressive, but I'd be more impressed by it laying in a chair and someone sitting on it, or it being dropped from around belly height and landing on a corner. Maybe put a rock on that slab of concrete and drop the iPad on it face down.
