Gecko Swag Bag

AU$19.95
Rating: 8.0/10

The Good: For better or for worse, the Swagbag is an anorak. It's a padded, zipped-up case in the same style as the Targus Crave Slipcase we reviewed for the original iPad. Elastic straps hold the iPad 2 in loosely, and the whole effect of the case is to make for a rather puffy, almost huggable iPad 2.

The Bad: It's still an anorak, and does absolutely nothing to show off the iPad 2 at all. It's also remarkably soft, and while this might suggest some shock protection, we suspect sufficient force on the case would crack an iPad 2 much more quickly than with a rigid case, as there's little to stop such force.

The Verdict: An inexpensive raincoat for your iPad 2.
