While we know that the iPad 2 Smart Cover fits the new iPad, there have been some questions raised whether all the iPad 2 cases will fit the new iPad even though it is quite similar.
There have been some doubts about other iPad cases as the new iPad is slightly thicker and has a more tapered back casing than the iPad 2.
The iPad Smart Cover page on Apple's website clearly states that it is compatible with iPad 2nd generation and iPad 3rd Generation. While we also expected iPad sleeve cases to fit just fine, we were not quite sure if all the iPad 2 hard cases and skins that wrap around the back casing will fit the new iPad.
Cult of Mac reports that they've tried quite a few iPad 2 cases and all of them fit the new iPad, even the back cover cases and thats what they were told by Apple retail store employees as well.We get sent a lot of cases here at Cult of Mac, so the first thing we did when we brought our new iPad home was start trying to see which iPad 2 cases still fit.
The answer? All of them. Not only folio and sleeve cases, but even back cover cases, which fit the iPad 2 as tight as a glove. Every single iPad 2 case we tried on our new iPad fit just fine.
Don’t want to take our word for it? When we were at the Apple Store this morning, all of the Apple employees on hand were telling new iPad customers that all iPad 2 cases fit the new iPad. Every single one of them.
Artem - one of our readers sent us an email to tell us that his iPad 2 case fits his shiny new iPad (Thanks Artem!).
We are still a little skeptical whether all iPad 2 cases will fit (due to slight increase in thickness). If you've been one of the lucky ones to get your hands on the new iPad, do let us know in the comments if your iPad 2 case work well with it.
