Equipment: Cases

Items I am considering for cases must be practical and yet cool looking.  Having iPod touches for two years has allowed me to see that clear, hard cases that encompass the entire iPod has kept the iPods in fairly new condition.  It is with this that I am unsure if the Apple iPad 2 cases, while VERY COOL looking may NOT withstand the use of eighth graders.

With that, I am looking at four cases as of now.
PLEASE leave a comment if you have any thoughts or ideas that could help make the decision!

UPDATED CASE OPTION:
Another Update - Possibility
I know this seems like it is carrying on, but the options keep showing up.  I need to make a decision.

Cons:  None

The beautiful thing about creating a program from scratch is that new ideas develop over time.  This is the case (no pun intended) with new possible case option.  It combines color (cool factor rising) with the Apple iPad case and protection on the back side!!!

Positives:  Protective and slim fitting case. colors, front stays closed with micro-suction, cover folds into stand
Cons:  Little bit more expensive
Cost:  $49.95
