Gearonic electronics | The New iPad 3 News Log

So a new iPad was announced, and strangely enough under the moniker, "The New iPad.” Not really sure why they didn’t just call it the iPad 3, but we will probably see a name change soon enough, so you will see us use these 2 terms interchangeably. Now, with any new device release, you’re going to have to buy yourself a new case.  This is still true with The New iPad cases.  Although it only increased in size by .03 of an mm, it is still a major 10% increase, the portable nature of the device has created cases that are fitted to the actual size of the device.  So if you’re thinking about buying that The New iPad 3, then that means you’re going to have to pick up another The New Ipad case as well.
    Not just the actual size of the device has changed though.  With this update, we will also be getting a larger camera, thus you need new IPad 3 cases.  This means that even if you could get your old case around your brand new iPad 3, you probably won’t be able to take pictures with it without being blocked.  That means you’re going to have to get a IPad 3 case if you want pictures.  
    The next question then just becomes what case or cover you should pick up.  When your shopping around, you’re going to find either a IPad 3 cases made from one of few different materials: metal, plastic, leather, synthetic PU leather cases, leather or synthetic leather cases with a plastic cover and rare cases cloth.  Also it comes in the form of a cover which only protects the back, or a case which protect the entire Ipad.  The first inclination is probably to buy the metal, which is usually a cover for the back rather than the whole case, but I would actually recommend against metal Ipad 3 covers.  Metal ipad 3 cover are very hard, and don’t provide much impact protection because of it.  Cloth cases or covers aren’t much better, as they do very little to protect the actual device.  Plastic The New ipad cover also comes mostly as a back cover though are more likely to break when they fall, which is good because you want the cover to break and absorb the force of the impact rather than that force hurting the device itself.  Plastic The New IPad covers should be your first choice if you are looking for just the back cover, a broken cover is far better than a broken iPad 3.

Cases mostly comes in the form of Leather or synthetic leather, both are great because it protects you again everything except major drops, but by itself it is a little intrusive because there is usually a "frame" around your ipad 3. The best choice for cases are a combo of plastic shell and leather or synthetic leather ipad 3 case.  Most of our cases comes in this form, as it gives you the protection from major drop of a plastic back cover, the additional buffer from the leather material against drops, and it doesn't create a frame around your The New iPad.
