If you were having trouble deciding on which case to buy for your iPad, here’s one more to think about. Case-Mate is debuting the Venture case for the iPad today, and this one even comes with an included stand.

The multi-function Venture looks like a smart, black portfolio on the outside with its polyurethane material and green lining.

But the cover also folds over into a prop stand, which should be especially useful when you want to watch movies hands-free on your desk or even that little tray-table on the back of the seat in front of you on an airplane.

The Venture case is available at Case-Mate’s online store now for a staggering $89.99. I like the idea of a stand along with a protective case for extra flexibility when using the iPad, but that’s a bit much for an accessory to a gadget that starts at $499.

This NEW premium priced $$$ case is all PVC and has one metal tab that actually sits on the glass of the iPad. Why isn't this made 100% clear on their site or on the video they took so much time to post. Change the material to leather, eliminate problematic construction, drop the price $30 or so, then you can say you have a great case. But certainly not now. Nice try.

I am content with my Tuff-Luv case/stand. It looks more or or less the same, but with more positions for the screen to rest.
