So much more than a case, the Smart Cover was designed alongside iPad 2 to The Smart Cover does double duty as a keyboard stand. Leather is extremely durable that why most thing made of leather costs more because it lasts longer.
No it can't but you can go to ebay.com and get a smart cover with a back for only $14.99 and type in IPad 2 cases
Apple's own Smart Cover for the iPad is AU$39-$69 (neoprene or leather).
Yes, the new iPad still is usable with the Smart Cover.
Generally the iPad 1 can't share the same case with iPad 2 except some specific case design for both ipad, such as the leather Bluetooth keyboard for ipad 1 ipad 2. A slip-style case that is strechy or a generic notebook case will fit both models. Since the iPad 1 is thicker, cases that hold the tablet with leather, metal or other rigid forms will not work. The iPad 1 will not work with the smart cover, or other compatible cases either, as it lacks the magnetic switches and edges.
You can buy a snap on case protector or a screen protector to help keep your iPad from getting damaged. The Apple iPad smart cover is a good idea and it has a variety of colors and is affordable.
It will depend on the style of case preferred and the budget available as there are numerous cases available for the iPad which vary in cost.

When you look at the special features of an iPad smart cover, you find that there are many advantages compared to a regular cover. Designed for the iPad 2, it fits perfectly over its screen through a magnetic connection, protecting it when it's not in use. It doubles as a protective case as well as a stand, and it even automatically wakes and sleeps your iPad depending on if it's opened or closed.

The Smart Cover designed for the new iPad2 is the same size as the original iPad because the two iPads have the same size display. However, the Smart Cover is attached to the iPad 2 by magnets. The iPad 2 has magnets inside and so does the Smart Cover, there are 21 inside the iPad 2 and 10 more in the Smart Cover. However the original iPad has no magnets so there is no way to attach the Smart Cover to the original iPad. Some of the magnets play another role, the Smart Cover can wake and sleep the iPad 2 by opening and closing the cover. This is also done with some of the magnets. I would not try to use the Smart Cover on the iPad, it was not designed for that purpose and would be a poor substitute for a cover better intended for that purpose. Dah•veed Monterrey, Mexico
A smart cover (provided by Apple) is an IPad cover that can pose as a stand, or as a protection for the screen. Another great feature is that when you life the smart cover you IPad turns on, and when you close it the IPad goes to sleep.
