Finally! Fed Ex delivered my long awaited iPad 2 yesterday afternoon and I wasted no time in trying out the first of many iPad 2 specific cases. The Mizu Shell from UK based Proporta is a sleek case that fits like a glove.

The hard silicone construction protects your device from the bumps and scratches of every day use. Its malleable material makes it easy to put on when you need it and take off if you don’t. Just slip the the bottom two corners of your iPad 2 into the case and stretch the remaining sides around your device for a snug fit.

Cutouts provide easy access to ports, buttons, speakers, cameras and the SIM card tray (3G version only), allowing you to use your headphones, Skype, take pictures and more.

I received a red sample Mizu Shell and really liked the color and quality. It was easy to use and added minimal weight (approximately 3.5 ounces) and bulk to the overall package. Easy to slide into a backpack, briefcase or purse, this shell is a good option for the person on-the-go. It provides good protection for the back and sides of the iPad 2 and a thin lip around the edges of the screen protects your device from touching the surface of your desk or table, should you leave it facing screen side down.

The Mizu Shell for the iPad 2 is available in black, white or red and your can get it from the Proporta website now.

What I liked: Sleek design, lightweight, easy access to buttons and ports.

What I didn’t like: Provides minimal screen protection and can’t use with Apple’s new Smart Cover.

To buy or not to buy: The Proporta Mizu Shell is a good option for anyone looking for this style of case. If you also need screen protection, you might want to consider purchasing a sleeve to use with it.
