iPad Cases available now for iPad Air 2

I want to buy a new leather case for my Air 2. Anyone tips? It has to be good quality. If there are no good cases atm, I will buy the original Air 2 case.
I had the Tech21 Impact Mesh case for my iPad Air, but I was disappointed with it.
The quality, fit and finish were all excellent, and I liked the look of the smokey version with my Space Grey Air, but it just didn’t feel good in the hand. The smooth surface made it difficult to grip and caused my hands to sweat. It also showed up fingerprints really easily.
I had one of their Impact Base cases for my previous iPads and, whilst it didn’t look as good, the textured finish made holding it feel far better.
I hope they make some improvements for the iPad Air 2 cases, but we may have to wait awhile as it took them several months to release cases for the original Air.

Same here. Although I refuse to buy the one from Apple. Way too expensive in terms of quality
It must be held manually. (This is for the Felix Flipbook Air, for those not following.)
I have had the Kavaj Berlin cases on all previous iPads. The Berlin for the Air 2 is not avalable until Nov. 13.

I had ordered the roocase optigon for the air 2 when that slickdeals coupon showed up, it was dirt cheap so I figured why not. Well the package came today, and when I opened it there was a note from the vendor saying that the optigon model was out of stock, and instead they gave me the roocase origami for the air 2 at no extra charge. I'm very happy with this case and cover, it fits perfectly, the cover is in fact smart with magnets and they work just fine with the air 2 when opening and closing. Considering I paid only $8 for this thing, it's an absolute steal! It's on Amazon now for $30 - I guess I just got lucky!

I know some people had posted earlier that this manufacturer had issues with the Smart Cover but they have this fixed now, this case is perfect and I definitely recommend it.

I've had it for a couple days now and am very satisfied with it. All the option for stands is great, I actually use the typing setup a lot more than I thought I would. The value with the coupon is excellent, full price is fair but not near the deal. I'd happily buy another.
Thanks for the tip. I just ordered one.

Cases available now for iPad Air 2
I have he iPad Air 1 version. It is crap in my opinion. It feels very cheap.

An update on this, the sleeve works perfectly with the Smart Cover on it. The magnet latches just fine over the top, and the fit is snug but I never feel like I'm jamming it in.
I'm really loving this setup. It's light as hell, keeps the iPad from getting scratched, and the Smart Cover magnetically latches onto the back of the iPad when it's open. I'm never going back to a full body case now.
I was wondering if any of you guys had tried the CaseCrown Bold Standby Pro Case before? It was out for the iPad Air and the Air 2 version comes out very soon (link below). Thinking about finally upgrading from my 1st gen crashpad err iPad to the iPad Air 2 and I really don't see any great cases out locally so I started browsing on amazon and I really like the look of the red CaseCrown case with the white iPad. Just curious to know if its any good will last a long time and if the "corner protection" really means much.

I've just got the original apple cover on my old 1st gen iPad and its still scratch free so I guess my demands aren't that great but a little bit of scratch and drop protection would be nice.

I just got a carrying case for mine. 10 inches with a zipper and a handle. Not bad for less than $10.

I haven't ordered one yet. Please let us know your thoughts once you receive it!
I have one on now. On my previous iPads I've only used the smart cover so the case does make the iPad feel heavier than I'm used to (reminds me of the weight of my iPad 2). The volume buttons are a little difficult to get to. Other than that the case feels like a good, solid case.
Amazon has two of the cognac brown in stock as of right now....

I ordered the red one through Amazon, received a shipping notice on 10/31, with a delivery date on NLT 11/7. Was notified on 11/4 that they weren't getting the red and blue versions from the manufacturer until 11/11, but if I wanted the black, they could ship that right away. Well, if I wanted the black, I would have ordered the black...
I told them I would stick with the red, if they could guarantee I received it NLT 11/13, as I am leaving on vaykay 11/14. If they couldn't, I would take the black, but wanted it NLT 11/7, which was when they originally promised the red. That seemed fair. And I asked them why I received a shipped notice on 10/31, if they didn't have anything to ship?
The response was that the shipping notice went out when they printed a label, and that they could get me the black case by 11/13. Evidently, no one knows how to read at Devicewear... I told them if they were shipping black, it needed to be here tomorrow, and they replied by saying they would not do that, but would cancel the order. I told them cool, and that they probably shouldn't print shipping labels for orders they couldn't fill.
I'll be waiting for this one to be available:
