Getting in line for an iPad 2? Looking for a cool case to cosset it in chic? We’ve got you covered. The slideshow below features a wide selection of cases, sleeves, skins and covers specifically designed for the iPad 2.

Unfortunately, many of the cases aren’t available immediately. Apple’s super-secretive launch process means accessory makers don’t know the specifications or dimensions of a new product until the general public does. We spoke to one accessory maker, Speck, about this situation.

“The big challenge for designers is keeping pace with Apple,” says Andy Eakins, director of European operations for Speck. “We’re based just around the corner from Apple but just like the rest of the world, we have no real idea of what’s coming until it’s launched. That’s when the race to get product to everyone starts.”

“Our engineers will constantly be developing concepts and playing around with materials, function, color and pattern,” Eakins says. “But until the item is in the Apple store in downtown Palo Alto, we’ll be waiting on the blocks ready to create a product within weeks and sometimes even days of launch.”

So if you’re in the market for an iPad 2 case, take a look through the slidesnow. There’s almost certainly a solution to suit you. Let us know which one that might be, and whether you can stand to wait for it, in the comments below.
