Thanks for your question. The iPad2 with the magnetic Smart Cover™ fits in the G-Form Extreme Sleeve™. The original iPad fits in the G-Form Extreme Sleeve™ without any cover.
May 16th UPDATE: Based on recent customer feedback, we learned that the Smart Cover on the iPad2 may slide upon insertion into the iPad Extreme Sleeve which may cause the iPad2 to wake up. Today G-Form is announcing the Extreme Sleeve™ 2, which is slightly larger and has more robust edge protection than the original Extreme Sleeve™. You can read more about it here.

Hi Antonio,
Based on feedback from customers we are addressing the iPad2 with Smart Cover fit in the Extreme Sleeve and are suggesting the Extreme Sleeve 2. Learn more about teh Extreme Sleeve 2 here: http://g-form.com/product/ipad-extreme-sleeve2/
Thanks for your feedback. It is greatly appreciated.

I wonder if this material will work inside football helmets to help prevent concussions
Kukaua
Looks awesome.
Any plans to develop a case for using the iPad in extreme environments like a refinery plant where dropping or knocking may occur?
Thanks
admin
Kukaua,
Yes, we are testing prototypes that will allow the iPad to be protected while it is being used.
srxdba
Really looking forward to a cover that protects the iPad2 if dropped while using. Would buy one from you immediately. thanks!
Marc
Saw your bowling ball drop video (impressive!) but am wondering if you can comment on the impact consequences of a drop on an edge or a corner of the sleeve? Are the corners reinforced?
admin
Marc/Erik,
The G-Form iPad Extreme Sleeve is designed to surround the iPad including the edges and the corners. We will have a video (shot horizontally) demonstrating this posted soon.

Today is May 15 2010 that One month pass.
When will you upload new video Clip for test hit corners?
admin
Hi David,
We suggest subscribing to our YouTube Channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/GFormLLC) as we will be posting videos soon demonstrating a variety of falls, including corner drops. Sorry for the delay in getting new videos posted. Expect to see them this week.

Hi Dave,
We are always looking for innovative ways to incorporate our RPT technology into products that will protect individuals and/or their gear so they can play more and worry less. We look forward to bringing you new products.
Doug
Is there a pair of grommets or hooks attached so a shoulder strap or carrying handle can be used with the case?
admin
Hi Doug,
No, we do not currently have a pair of grommets or hooks attached to the sleeve for a shoulder strap or carrying handle. However, we think it’s a great idea and if more people are interested in a case like this we would make one.
John
Yes – would really like to a attach shoulder strap
sara
Hi John,
Thanks for the suggestion! We love getting customers’ feedback. We will definitely look into adding a shoulder strap in the future.
gonzalo
look really ugly!
Gedster314
Yes it is ugly but so are Hummers but that didn’t people from buying them.
Does it Blend????
najib ghosn
is it Bullet Proof ?!
Bob
Does the zipper get in the way of possibly scratching the screen when you put it in or take it out.
admin
Hi Bob,
The zipper on the iPad Extreme Sleeve is out of the way and has a smooth finish so it will not scratch the screen when inserting or removing the iPad from the case.
Erik
Hi,
I noticed that when notebooks drop, most of the time they fall onto an edge.
That way I killed the display of an notebook.
Your Youtube clip shows a weight dropping onto the flat surface of the iPad.
What happens when an Extreme Sleeve covered iPad falls onto an edge ?
Thanks.
Misty
I need one for my Ipod. It has suffered many an accident and if I had this….I might have survived. I would buy one immediately if you had one!!!
admin
Misty,
Stay tuned, if it’s a valuable electronic, G-Form will soon be your source for protection.
Bukweet
Can you briefly describe the interior lining of the iPad Extreme Sleeve?
Thanks
admin
Hi Bukweet,
The interior lining of the Extreme Sleeve is made from a strong, soft, durable fabric. If you are concerned about your screen getting scratched, it will be protected.
Neil
Will you also be developing an iPhone cover/ case that will enable usage while still protecting?
Would be fantastic for corporate IT as staff don’t care about the gear they are presented with for their use.
admin
Hi Neil,
Yes, we have an iPhone cover that can be used and protected at the same time that is being tested right now. Follow us on Twitter or Like us on Facebook to be notified of new product releases.
Barertt
This may have already been answered and I may have over looked it, but what is the inside material of the case ie microfiber or anything to keep it from being scratched in transit?
ET
Hi, it says that the material is flexible, what’s the largest laptop it fits? My Lenovo ultraportable notebook is: 11.1″ x 8.25″ x 1.2″. Will your sleeve stretch out to fit this?
admin
Hi there,
The iPad Extreme Sleeve is made to fit the iPad and iPad2. We are planning on manufacturing cases for 13″, 15″ laptops and the MacBook Air.
bernstein
Awesome! However i still have a few questions :
Does the Extreme Sleeve protect an iPad falling onto its edge/corner ?
What are the dimensions and added weight?
Great to hear there are Notebook cases in development. Looking forward to a MacBookPro17″ case!
admin
Hi Bernstein,
Yes, the Extreme Sleeve can protect an edge drop. We just posted a video of an iPad dropped on it’s edge while protected by the Extreme Sleeve.
The iPad Extreme Sleeve weighs 0.46 lbs and is designed to fit devices no larger than 7.46” x 9.65” x .45” inches.
Saad
There should be a way to use this case as a stand
José-Luis Maldonado
Hello,
Yes…
I want one…
But with shipping, it’s $72.18
Are there any Discount Codes.
At this price, I would even take a 5% off code.
JeffinSavannah
I would LOVE to own a larger one (of these) that could hold a 13″ Macbook Pro OR my iPad 2 in a Pad & Quill case!!!!
Matt
Interesting video – but can you make this NOT look like my winter tyres ( or like I painted my winter tyres yellow ) ? None of the Apple products look like the Transformers, why would I like accessories like that ?
Make it smooth, classy and tasteful like the iPad ! Then I buy.
Matt
Here’s something that should help you to make something nice:

@Matt…i’m sure your “guide to making something aesthetically pleasing was well intentioned, but i have to say, it sounds condescending to me….sending a designer a grocery list of things to do???
in all fairness, if you go to the site of the company, it seems most of the products have a similar design. it may be related to how it has to be manufactured to absorb the shock rather than passing the shock on to the contents. or, maybe not. either way, i would not buy it for the look but for the protection and it seems to fit in a small laptop bag anyway.
a bunch of us who watched the place demo did get a laugh from the post, though, and this guy is radically excited about what he sells…we like that!
randy
I would like to know how much space there is in the sleeve in front or back of the device. I would like to put some protection on both front and back of the device but would want to be sure everything fits. I am interesting in a back that adds little bulk and size, maybe combined with the Apple magnet front cover.
admin
@randy: The Extreme Sleeve will fit the Smart Cover on an iPad2, or something similar. If your protection is the same size as a Smart Cover, it should fit fine. Thanks!
AA-Ron
So, how light is the case? Is it easy and comfortable to grasp? One of the things I’ve noticed about the iPad 2 is that it’s so slim that I am always concerned about it slipping out of my hands when walking from A to B. Sleek design doesn’t always mean practical.
Thanks.
Ronald Stepp
I like how it looks, one more way to distinguish my ipad from other ipads at the security checkpoint in the airport.
Judy
Where can I buy it when it becomes available?
admin
The iPad Extreme Sleeve is available for pre-order now on our site. You can go http://shop.g-form.com/products/ipad-extreme-sleeve to place your pre-order.
Jacob
Hallo. Does it work with zaggmate for iPad 2??
admin
@Jacob: The zaggmate won’t fit properly in the Extreme Sleeve, but please sign up for our mailing list and so you can find out about our new cases coming out. Thanks!
Sarah
Can the G-Form Extreme Sleeve fit over the Smart Cover?
Thanks,
Sarah
