It’s official.

I’m a bona fide overthinker.

One week into iPad ownership and 7 cases later, my overthinking has reached an all new level.

And, to save you from your own overthinking, I’m going to share mine with you–in video form no less.

Make fun of my anal retentiveness or take advantage of my research so that you only have to bring one case into your home. Your choice.

The Addycase – good iPad 2 case for families with really young kids who find the home button irresistible. It’s pretty heavy though.

The Trident Kraken case – well known company with a well known iPad 2 case marketed towards families. But, not my fave.

The Ekto 2 from Uzibull – good case for older kids who need a protective case but don’t want one that shouts “My mom made me get this big ole case to protect my iPad.” Not my fave though.

The iGuy stand-up case from Speck – pretty much a gimmick, but I may just have to keep him around because he’s so darn cute.

The Big Grips case and stand – The case isn’t my favorite because of the entire back exposed and difficulty getting to the ports. The stand is helpful though.

M-Edge Super Shell case in Atomic Green – good case at a great price but I honestly miss seeing more of the back of the iPad (I’m an apple junkie who likes the back…I know…weird). And, it’s hard–my kids could use this thing as a weapon if they wanted to (and weapons are popular here).

iLatch – Classy white leather case with clip-on dealies that are fantastic when you need them (think side of pack ‘n play when you need your little one to nap at Grandma’s or the stroller handlebar when you are trying some new duds on in the dressing room).

Gripcase – handles on all 4 sides that are perfect for both little and big grippers alike. Love the lightweight EVA foam which is safe even for kids who tend to chew stuff. Also love that the screen truly doesn’t need any protection because it sits low enough in the case to never touch any surface. My kids could bowl with the Gripcase and the iPad will be totally safe. (I know, they’ve tried.) *My fave*
