IPad case?

I'm looking to take my new Ipad (3) with me on my next trip; has anyone used a protective case that's both shock proof and relatively slim (although I'm aware the two could contradict one another!)?

These look useful, although the top one could add too much bulk. Any thoughts / experiences / other suggestions would be welcome!

I have traveled with my iPad using an otter box case for it. It is super durable and doubles as a stand.

They are NOT cheap but they are probably the best protection you can get for your tablet.

Dry box for IPAD and tablets.

This ^. Best box on the market - water and dust proof, robust, secure. Not cheap and not small, but do the job admirably.

+1 on the Otter Box
I doubles the thickness of the Ipad but the level of protection it offers would be very hard to surpass. I would not hesitate to travel with this in a saddle bag and have no fear of damage short of a wreck, and even then it will prolly walk away unscathed.

It is the slimmest out there, no but is really does the job and then some.
