iPad cases with Logos in mind

I've spent too much time researching cases for the 3rd generation iPad and find most reviews, both consumer and "professional," not particularly helpful because most iPad users do not have Logos. Smile

So I'm appealing to iPad owners who are Logos users for some perspective. For the purpose of using the Logos app with your iPad, is there a particular case that you really like? Are there certain features that are important to you?

Does a case's having a stand that positions the iPad in portrait as well as landscape a feature that you think is important or helpful or is that completely irrelevant? A "360" case such as the Devicewear Detour 360 will do that, though such cases are probably a little thicker and heavier.
Are you satisfied with a case stand that positions the iPad only in landscape? Most cases work for that. By the way, one of our members has referred to his BookBook case, which really looks intriguing.
Is a case with a keyboard important to you? I don't see the iPad replacing my Lenovo ThinkPad notebook, so my initial reaction is that I do not need an external keyboard, but I may be wrong about that since the iPad has just been ordered and my experience with the Logos app is only with my iPhone.
Is the case's stand irrelevant because you read your Logos books holding your iPad or laying it flat on the desk?

Any and all input is most appreciated. Thanks.

I read and use Logos mostly in Portrait position which gives with a divided screen gives room for two columns in my Bible. Landscape would only give one column.

I have no case. I decided to get the Logitech Ultrathin keyboard/cover and have found that useful outside of Logos when I am on the go and want to type a bit more than a few lines in something like Quickoffice.

I hand hold my iPad which generally is fine since I am seated while reading. I purchased a Padlette strap but never felt that gave me a comfortable 'hold.'

Hi Bill, I will let someone else tackle the topic of cases with stands. I just have a couple of small comments. I have an iPad 2 and holding it to read as it comes from the factory is not an option. The edges are just too sharp and hard and cut into the side of the finger that holds the bottom. So I use a clear plastic cover that covers the sides and back, which was inexpensive. When I take it to church, I just use a soft zippered Bible case. I considered buying a case, but as time went by I just never got around to it. Someone who uses the iPad when out and about for sermon preparation might want the keyboard, but I never purchased one either. I would be interested in any feedback from someone who has a case that functions as a handle when reading.

I love the Speck handyshell case along with a bluetooth keyboard. I have found this works best for reading on a desk, on my lap, and a keyboard snaps in. It is actually a combo I discovered of two products. Read my Amazon review of the keyboard here and follow the link in it to see the case: http://www.amazon.com/review/R228PZLJ4GDYR/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B0050M92CU&linkCode=&nodeID=&tag=
