More great iPad cases from Targus

Now that the iPad has been on the market for three months, many vendors are coming to market with protection for the device. We've seen everything from hard shell cases to expensive leather sleeves, and even cases that kill germs (link to last post about iSkin case).

When many people think about Apple accessories, they think of Targus, a company that has been in the business of making cases, keyboards, mice, and other accessory products for many years. Now Targus has come to market with four new cases for iPad that offer functionality, style, and color. The Z-Case, Truss, Targus Leather and Wallet Style cases are all available now at Targus dealers.

The Z-case (US$54.99, see photo at right) comes in black, orange, and mustard and features a hard-shell body with a leather exterior. The soft interior liner contrasts with the exterior for an attractive look. For those of you who may still be waiting for an Apple iPad case, the Truss ($49.99, see photo below), is similar in functionality to the Apple case, but has a leather exterior in brown or black with a soft liner.

Two more cases, the Targus Leather Sleeve ($49.99) and the Wallet Style Case ($54.99), also bring the class of leather to the lineup. The Sleeve comes only in black top-grain leather with a soft twill interior, while the Wallet Style Case comes in black and stylish red leather, and has a number of interior pockets for photos, cards, and notes.

Targus was a bit late to the iPad case and sleeve party with these new models, but they'll certainly bring the typical Targus quality and functionality to the iPad accessory market.

My Ultimate Sleevecase from Waterfield (http://sfbags.com) arrived today. Very happy with it, I recommend it without question.

@GAGirl: Proof that the original article was a cut and paste from a Targus press release. The original link went to a page with 3 iPad cases this morning. Now it (and yours) goes to a page with 13 iPad cases. #TUAWFail

Not sure where you guys are going, but I saw a dedicated landing page (from the home page) that has all the new cases: http://www.targus.com/us/section.aspx?buckettypeID=194&dBucketId=2978

Sure would be nice if the link that uses the text "four new cases for iPad" actually took you to a page where you could see and buy the four new cases instead of three old cases that have been out a while. It takes effort to turn text into a link, so I have a hard time seeing how that could be a mistake or an oversight.

It never takes long to remember why I took TUAW out of my regular rotation...

Followed the link to the Targus site - loaded with flash and no "great iPad cases" as promised by TUAW.

They even spell it "Ipad" in the menu!

The best concept you mean - been hanging on a long time to see the real thing and still no ship date.

What I need is a slim bag that will accept the iPad fitted in the Apple case, something like this:

I think I'm going to have a shoulder bag handcrafted to give me internal dimensions of 250mm x 200mm x 15mm, unless someone knows of one?

You mean like these ones from STM?

Much better quality than what's on offer from Targus (and no I don't have any connection to the company other than being a satisfied customer).

Seriously? Targus? The generic black laptop case company? The kind your IT dept buys for you and gets left in the bottom of a desk drawer at work?

Targus is the Anti-Mac

Yes, but isn't it just fun saying TARGUS?

Great. Your wife's legal name had now been changed to "Targus Targus".
