Chic cases to dress up your new iPad

Q. I was lucky enough to get a new iPad for Christmas. Now I need a fancy new case. Can you recommend some?

A. Lucky you! I, for one, cannot live without my iPad -- and dressing it up in fancy new clothes somehow makes me love it even more. There are a variety of options ranging from handbags and clutches to cases and sleeves, depending on your needs. I prefer a case that keeps my iPad protected at all times, but I lust after less practical styles like the Z Spoke and Marc Jacobs crossbody bags and the Rachel Roy clutch below. Since you didn't tell me your budget, I've recommended a few in every price range. Enjoy!
