This week’s roundup of new iPad cases includes ways to keep your tablet safe everywhere from the pool to the boardroom.

The Slim Color Folio (iPad and iPad Air; $70) brings together a splash of color with a rechargeable Bluetooth keyboard that gives you 60 hours of continuous use or 45 days of standby storage.

The case comes in green, black, red, blue, or purple.

The Booqpad (iPad Air; $60 to $95) is a folio that attaches magnetically to your tablet, making it easy to remove when you want to go case-free. The Booqpad can turn into a typing and viewing stand in landscape orientation.

The Repel (iPad 2, 3, and 4; $50) is a slim, folio-style case that integrates a water- and dust-proof pouch in which you can safely protect your tablet from the elements.

Ideal for a day at the pool or a trip to the beach, the Repel also doubles as a viewing or typing stand in landscape orientation.

The Leather Folio (all iPad models; $130) is handmade from genuine American logger’s leather, with a waxed-canvas interior that helps you carry your tablet safely when you’re on the go.

The Soft-Tec Folio (all iPad models; $60 to $80) is made from top-notch materials and available in two different models, one of which features a modular construction that allows you to use it in a variety of configurations, from a simple bumper to a full-fledged carrying case.

The Soft-Tec Ducati Edition (all iPad models; $80 to $90) is a folio case whose design was inspired by the famed Italian motorcycle manufacturer.
