Will iPad 2 silicone cases fit new iPad (3rd gen)?

I have preordered the new iPad and would like to have a case ready for it when it arrives next week. I was looking on eBay and they have soft silicone cases for iPad 2 and I was wondering if they would fit the new iPad. They have some stretch so I don't think it would be a problem, but I would like to hear some opinions. Thanks.

I'm a case ho. I try them all. We're talking a 0.6 mm difference in depth. I just looked at a ruler to see how small 0.6 mm really is. Not much.
I'm sure some cases will fit without a hitch. Any case with really tight tolerances will probably have problems. Only time will tell. When My iPad 3 arrives, I've got several cases from the iPad 2 to try out.

Will iPad 3 case fit an iPad 4

I am giving an ipad 4 for Christmas. Will an ipad 3 case fit an ipad 4?

Yes! I use one.
Note the dock connectors are different sizes, with the iPad 4 being smaller than the iPad 3. So if your case has some special provision for the dock connector, that may be a factor.
But the devices are the same size.

Would an ipad 2 case fit an ipad 3rd gen?

I Have an ipad 3rd gen and I am having trouble finding a case for it. Would an ipad 2 case fit it, I found an expensive case which said it would fit an ipad 3rd gen, ipad 2 2nd gen and iPads with retina display. I'm a bit confused.
thanks Susie

Yes
There's really no such thing as iPad 1 third gen
I'ts iPad (what became iPad 1 once the 2 came out)
iPad 2
iPad 3 (which was only sold less than a year)
iPad 4
iPad Air (5th gen)
iPad Air 2 (6th gen, although it's rarely referred to as such)
iPad 1, 2 and 3 are pretty much the same. (except for the thickness which I think was to accommodate a different battery) iPad 4 is where the lightning connector came into play. iPad Air and Air 2 had some major size changes.
Your case might fit, it all depends on what kind of case it is. If it's a close fitting silicone or hard case, then likely not. if it's a portfolio kind where you slide your iPad into a sleeve or space in a case then it might. Those are the most forgiving of cases and the extra couple of millimeters in thickness are usually able to slide by.
Depending on where you found the case, if the place has a good return policy you can always give it a try and return it if it doesn't work well.

Will this iPad 3 case fit my ipad 2?

Hello!
I've been looking at iPad 2 cases and this one seems to be perfect for my uses. However, it is labeled as an iPad *3* case (or well, The New iPad), and I was wondering if it would still fit my 2. I understand the iPad 3 is deeper than the iPad 2, but I've had trouble finding all the specifications on this issue.
The diminsions of the case are:
0.6 x 9.5 x 7.4 inches
The Amazon link is:

Any help would be spectacular, thank you, Internet.

Will an iPad 2 case fit the iPad Air?

I want that case for the iPad Air, but it just dawned on me it might not fit. Will it, or do I need to find another case?

iPad 2 is wider and thicker. A case for it will not fit properly with the iPad Air.

Would iPad Mini cases fit the iPad mini 2?

Probably sounds silly as they are virtually the same and no difference in size or dimensions were mentioned but I compared iPad models and the iPad Mini 2 is thicker by 0.3mm. Now this might sound miniscule but cases are made to fit perfectly and I'm afraid even 0.3mm would make a difference in using a case? Am I paying too much attention or should I get cases specifically said to be compatible with iPad Mini 2?

I think it depends. If you're looking for a tight fitting snap case then you may want to look for Mini 2 cases specific, or get it from a place with a good return policy. If it's a portfolio case or a silicone case you should be fine because they have more wiggle room.
i've found that some retailers don't care if you 'try it on' in the store, you just have to ask for their help or be very careful when you open the packaging so that it is still resellable.
I have a Touch 5 and have found that iPhone 5 cases fit it, the bits of millimeters in difference doesn't pose a problem (Biggest issue I have is buttons being in different places, not case size)

Will the iPad Smart Case fit the 4th generation iPad

Will the iPad Smart Case fit the 4th generation iPad

The iPad Smart Case works with the iPad 2 and newer, so it works with a 4th generation iPad properly

Do the iPad 2 Cases fit the Retina iPad?

Would the snap on and silicone cases fit the Retina Display iPad

Yours does - but a lot more (particularly hard cases) don't.
To the OP: if you have a hard case, be extra caotious when applying an iPad 2 hard case. You may end up having to use a knife to get the case off. If, after applying two corners, you see it won't fit, do NOT try to fit the third corner!

Protective case for new ipad

     I have just bought my first iPad - the new iPad (iPad 3?) - and am looking for protective casing that protects the back as well, rather than just the screen that Apple currently have to offer.
     Looking on Amazon.co.uk I came across the G-Hub GeniusCover (black carbon fibre style case cover folio) which you can slip the iPad into, and is designed to allow full functionality, together with flip-stand function and magnetic sleep sensor.
     The reviews are pretty well universally positive and, apart from being less than half the price of the Apple just screen protection, it would seem to offer ideal protection.
     Does anyone have any opinions or advice to offer?

For my iPad 2, I bought an Adesso case/keyboard model WKB-2000CD http://www.adesso.com/en/component/content/article/49-coming-soon/455-wkb-2000cd .html Works great & looks good. The keyboard is easier to use than Apple's on-screen keyboard. Do a Google search using the model number to get the best price. About the same price as Apple's covers & it covers the whole iPad. Although the new iPad is slightly thicker, it also fits it.

Honestly, I don't think that they have any other way of accessing anything on the iPad than any other user has. The Apple Store genius will just put the device through the standard troubleshooting steps - in your case probably try to restore the device to factory settings and if that doesn't work, then they will make some sort of offer for a replacement assuming that your iPad is still under warranty.
If I'm not mistaken they will probably erase the device in order to try to "fix" it. That's what restoring to factory settings does. I assumed that you were concerned about losing data - but if you are concerned that they are going to see something that you don't want them to see or access, I'm pretty sure that's not going to happen.

Case for new iPad

Just got my new iPad. Walked up to the Apple store and was in and out in 5 mins. I ordered a clip-type case that was advertised as fitting both the iPad 2 and iPad 3. But it does not fit. Does anyone know of a clip-type case to protect the back (I'm using the Apple smart cover for the front)? Preferably white? Thanks.

Best case for New iPad?

what case are you getting for the new iPad?

You can try this, they confirmed it fits the new ipad and works with ipad 2 as well. I chose it coz it has a hard back to protect my new baby and a foldable front cover to stand.
http://x-doria.ae/shop/tablet-ebook-reader/apple-ipad/the-new-ipad/smartstyle-th e-new-ipad-case-white-detail.html
I just found out they have a return policy as well http://x-doria.ae/return-policy.html and since i paid via paypal i'm pretty safe.
I read about piel frama in the other thread for those interested in the leathery kind.
