Sold separately or as a set, Uzibull's new Ekto2 case ($40) and Flex system ($75) give iPad 2 users a variety of options for protecting and carrying their tablets. Ekto2 is an unusually thick silicone case that can be used alone on the iPad 2, protecting its most fragile edges with a substantial quantity of rubber. The Flex set includes an Ekto2, and adds a hard plastic frame and collection of attachments. When put together on an iPad 2, Flex provides a internal structure with rigid holes for various included add-ons, and Ekto2 is then placed atop Flex for substantial device protection. Two hard plastic inserts let you use Flex with a fabric and metal arm strap, while a circular central camera tripod mount converts to add a rotating hand strap as needed. You'll need to supply the tripod yourself if you want to use one with the iPad 2; the metal-lined screw hole is compatible with popular tripods. While the hard plastic selected by Uzibull is fittingly thin, the Ekto2 silicone body is one of the biggest we've seen, for better and/or worse depending on your intended use of the iPad 2 inside. No screen protection is included in either of the packages.
