I'm not getting 2 but just looking at the cover I was a bit concerned about using it for other than in another carrier, as Godfrey said. I did think it was very innovative, esp. the fold back to make a stand. I mostly use the original Apple case (for about 11 mos now so it needs spruced up occasionally LOL) which is very utilitarian and works very well. I can stick it with Apple case on into a very funny looking but really useful, for me, holder from a little startup called Propup. Great to read with or type in my lap. I carry the Ipad in a messenger bag with camera too (Tenba) so the cover for 2 would be fine for that but there seem to be better covers. There was lots of activity with case makers before 2 came out so there should be nice ones out there.
