Lifejacket is the only MIL Spec waterproof iPad case that is available for around $99. The aluminum bracket sold as a complement to this case is $49. Fugawi sells both of these for $140, but charges $33 to ship from Canada (at least to my location in the US).
I have been researching a number of these cases. The LifeProof Nuud appears to be better than most cases and costs about $75. The LifeProof appears to be difficult to seal your iPad. Effective technique comes sometimes only after several hours of practice and testing. Easy removal of the iPad also does not appear to be a part of the LifeProof design.
I think I will spring for the Lifejacket based on ease of use in sealing and removing the iPad, plus the MIL Spec. The bracket seems too expensive for just a U shaped chunk of aluminum.
