I picked up an Otterbox Defender case for my 1st gen iPad, after going with thin and minimal cases for quite a while, and I'll say this - if you want to turn it into an outdoor on the deck, at the campground, in the garage, at the playground with the kids, on the bus kinda device, this is your case.
I don't know if its something I'll use full time, but it turns the iPad into a satisfyingly thick and sturdy device, sort of the polar opposite of what it was originally built to be, which is more of a delicate, svelte indoor machine. The Tonka iPad has it's own appeal though, to be sure - you start considering taking it places (and leaving it out in places) that you might not otherwise.
