For many people, an iPad is only one of the myriad of things they're toting to work, so a briefcase with a whole lot more space for other things is the way to go. And this Norino Attache looks fit to do that job.
Made by Versetta, the stylish sack is designed for office professionals who increasingly depend on their iPads for getting things done in the workplace. It looks like a regular office briefcase, too, so you don't have to stick out like a sore thumb among your suit-wearing, "give me the net-net" peers.
A part of Versetta's iPad-loving Affari Collection, the Norino Attache features an iPad compartment on the outside front panel. When fully unzipped, the pocket reveals a padded iPad slot where you can slip in your tablet for safekeeping. Even better, you can use the iPad without lifting it off the bag, as the screen is fully usable, along with all the ports and buttons via cutout windows.
Since the iPad goes in its own place, you can use the two interior compartments for the rest of your workplace stash, like a laptop, books, document stacks and extra gear. Construction is a faux leather, with fabric lining for the interior and brushed brass hardware for the metal components. Other features include a wall zipper pocket, slide pocket, cell phone pocket, a top handle and an adjustable strap.
The Versetta Norino Attache is available in three colors: black, brown tan and cordova brown. Price is a bit steep, though, coming in at $229.

Sure, you like carrying your iPad 2. Somehow, though, you miss lugging around something heavy and bulky like you used to do with your laptop. Well, here's how to get that discomfort while taking your tablet around: the iPad Travel Express Case.
We're kidding about your desire for discomfort, although the actual case is real. Armed with pockets and even more pockets, it can literally fit your iPad along with every accessory you need for it during extended sojourns on the road.
Billed as an "all-in-one mobile office solution," the carrying case can fit in your iPad 2 with its Smart Cover, a wireless keyboard, cables, headphones, power brick and whatever other stuff you normally use the tablet with. Sure, there's probably a point where you can't fit any more, but the amount of stuff this thing can hold sure is impressive.
On its own, the iPad Travel Express Case measures 12 x 9 x 1.5 inches, so it can be a slim container too if all you're bringing along is your tablet. It features ballistic nylon material for the actual case, soft pockets that guarantee scratch-free protection, a good deal of padding on the iPad compartment and an AYKK self-locking zipper. You can also request optional D-rings and a strap, so you can hang it over your shoulder like a laptop bag.
The whole point of carrying a tablet is its portability. But you never know when you need to haul all that crap you keep buying for the iPad, so might as well get a case that can handle them all. You can get the iPad Travel Express Case from Waterfield, priced at $69.

If you're in the market for a messenger bag to hold your iPad or iPad 2, along with the rest of your regular man-about-town ensemble, the Rickshaw Bagworks Messenger Bag for iPad 2 should make for an interesting pick. A remake of the company's Zero Messenger bag, it takes on the same general design and make -- save, of course, for the iPad-friendly part.
To accommodate your Apple iPad 2 tablet, they added a padded sleeve in front of the main compartment, where you can throw in either a naked or a case-wearing iPad. Behind the pocket sits what's essentially a large sack with a generous room for your stash (the product page claims paper files, a sweater, a book and a notebook can be bundled in).
The Rickshaw Bagworks Messenger Bag for iPad 2 is a square profile messenger bag that measures 10 x 11.25 x 3.75 inches and weighs a mere pound. Bag bottom is padded to protect your sensitive gear, with two small front pockets, a D-ring for attaching a cross strap and horizontal velcro strips inside the primary compartment for attaching accessories.
Material is X-Pac waterproof sailcloth, a high-performance fabric that's ideal for those at risk of getting their bags wet (such as when you live under rainy climes or when you're a klutz who regularly spill your drinks on your stuff). The exterior flap is rounded with a velcro closure, while the strap comes with a quick adjust cam for even more convenient handling.
Made by hand upon order in the company's home base of San Francisco, the Messenger Bag for iPad 2 is now available for orders online. Price is $75.

Don't let the "case" in the name confuse you. The Killspencer Original Wax iPad Case is actually a bag, instead of a "case" as we normally categorize our iPad accessories. With that potential source of confusion sorted out, I have to say: this is one sweet-looking bag.
The name comes from the material used to make the bag, original wax black filter twill. If you're not familiar with that, it's a utilitarian fabric originally designed and manufactured in 1837. According to the product page, this 3-ply x 2-ply fabric is military-spec and water-repellent, making it perfect for specialty applications like hunting, fishing and sailing.
The Original Wax iPad Case measures 8.25 x 10.5 x 1.75 inches, with a spacious inner compartment (you can fit your iPad with another case in tow) and three outside pockets (one big, two small). Coated neoprene padding line the interior for helping keep scratches out of your slate, while a shiny black bullhide handle sewn on top lets you carry the whole bag comfortably. Since a water-repelling fabric won't be much use when liquids can get in through the closure, they use water-resistant "aquazip" zippers, too.
Designed for the iPad-toting, work-pretending hipster, Killspencer recommends throwing the iPad in the interior compartment, a moleskine notebook on the large pocket, an iPhone on one of the smaller outer pockets and a bunch of business cards on the other. Now, if they only added a way to get a strap onto the thing, it will be perfect.
You can get the Killspencer Original Wax iPad Case now, priced at $150.

One of the things I love about the iPad is the fact that it has inspired so many sleek and elegant accessories designed specifically for it. The new InCase Canvas Field Bag ranks right up there with the best of them.
Clad in a simple clutch bag shape, it's sized just right for the iPad's dimensions. Instead of just clasping it with your hand, though, it comes with an adjustable and removable strap that's meant to go sling-style across your torso.
The InCase iPad Field Bag is made from a tough canvas material, with weather-resistant coating for further durability. Unlike other bags, it has a play-through design that lets you use the tablet without having to pull it out of the compartment (the bag actually opens like a folio case, while the tablet sits inside a frame).
Interior has a quilted cotton-lined sleeve to absorb bumps, with the holding frame getting a protective screen cover. Other features include dual zippers for closure, a removable pouch and an exterior zippered pocket.
If you think a simple, stylish iPad bag that has a clever case-like design is a good idea, you'll probably want to get your hands on the InCase Canvas Field Bag. It's available for $69.95.

Want serious protection when carrying your iPad during travel or commute? The CaseCrown Air Cell Briefcase for iPad might do the trick.
If you already own a similar padded briefcase for 10.1-inch netbooks, you should know that this is the exact same thing. They're, basically, just rebranding it for use with Apple's 9.7-inch slate. There's absolutely zero difference - they didn't even remove the battery bay (although, you can probably use that for holding the charger and other small accessories).
The CaseCrown Air Cell Briefcase for iPad is a slim and lightweight bag, with dual zippers and a two-strap carrying handle. Over 200 high-quality air cells are prominently stationed on the sides to absorb shock from bumps and jarring movement.
Since it's more of a multi-purpose gadget carrier than a strictly made-for-iPad accessory, you can use it to carry other sensitive stuff when you’re leaving the tablet at home. Netbooks, smaller gaming consoles and portable DVD players come to mind.
The fact that the CaseCrown Air Cell Briefcase is sized for 10.1-inch netbooks actually brings one accidental advantage: you can slip in your iPad even with a case in tow. To me, this is an excellent upside, especially if you want to keep the tablet in your favorite multi-function case, all while being able to carry it around conveniently. The bag on sale for around $15.

One part case and one part bag, the Jarteez iPad Case has to be one of the most stylish-looking accessories I've laid eyes. While there isn't much to set it apart in terms of functionality, it definitely stands out because of the elegant appearance.
Entire body is made from full grain Italian leather, with a soft cloth interior to ensure your iPad never gets a single scratch. It comes in two colors - Night Light (black) and Sunshine (light beige).
The Jarteez iPad Case measures 272 x 210 x 23 mm and should fit the iPad like a glove. It opens vertically, with a double strap closure to make sure the flap stays in place. You can use it in both landscape and portrait modes for tabletop viewing, although you won't get much options in terms of angles.
What about the bag part? While you won't be able to use it to hold anything but your tablet, it does come with a removable strap, allowing you to sling it over your shoulder like a courier bag. The strap matches the leather of the case and is easily adjustable for convenient use.
If you're looking for unique functionality, the Jarteez iPad Case probably won't be your cup of tea. For a decidedly urban and elegant style, though, it's tough to beat. It's available now, priced at €83.

iPad bags are fine for taking your tablet around during travel. If you absolutely can't use it without a Bluetooth keyboard in tow, though, your choices in iPad-specific bags suddenly dwindle down to a small number. The Waterfield iPad Wallet should count among your remaining options.
Designed as a two-in-one travel case, the container has separate internal pockets for an iPad and an Apple wireless keyboard, respectively. Both compartments are lightly-padded with non-scratch surfaces, ensuring your devices remain free from any nicks and scrapes.
The Waterfield iPad Wallet measures 12 x 9 x 1.5 inches and features impact-resistant inserts along the body for protection from bumps. A self-locking YKK zipper ensures your gear stays shut in, while a stretchable pocket around the back lets you carry other gear, such as chargers, styluses and miniature flame throwers (hey, some of you may be into that).
It comes in a choice of six colors (black, copper, flame, green, pearl and pine), with distressed brown leather sides. You can also choose to have the bag installed with D-rings (in case you have a spare strap at home) or request it be shipped with an accompanying strap. Both options cost extra, of course.
Currently on pre-order with an October 31 shipping date for the initial run, the Waterfield iPad Wallet is available for $79.

One of Booq's newest models, the Cobra Courier XS is available now.
