I got a Tuff-luv Multi-view Napa leather case:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003ETHNA4

Also very happy with it. The things I really like: no velcro (has
poppers instead, which I much prefer), very soft leather, excellent
fit, allows access to all of the sockets and switches (including,
weirdly, the as-yet non-existent camera!) and looks the part. One of
the nice serendipitous features is a large poppered flap on the front
that makes part of the prop-stand. I discovered that this flap also
fits securely over a shoulder strap for a pack or laptop bad, so you
can clip it on, carry it around and have it quickly accessible. The
other nice thing is that it has a convenient place to hang a stylus (I
have one of these - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003DJ8DLS - and
it works really well for sketching).

Things I don't like: it's sometimes difficult to touch controls in the
corners of the screen, since the leather mask covers it right up to the
edge. This is my stubby fingers as much as anything else, mind you.
Also, I'm not sure that a case is really the right thing for an iPad -
it looks so much better without one. I may end up with a sleeve just to
protect it in transit.

Actually, that looks really useful for my iTouch. I already have a
stylus for that (I find it almost unusable without) but it's a bit
'sticky' against the screen. It looks as though those might be better.
