Polga

VladStudio

Vlad Gerasimov is an extremely talented Russian artists and his VladStudios has been one of my favorite wallpaper sources (not only for iPad) for a long time. All the numerous wallpapers in the site are illustrated by himself which proves what a dedicated artist he is!

iPad Walls

The good point about iPad Walls is its clean and easy to navigate user interface. The iPad wallpapers are organized in different categories such as nature, abstract, girls and etc. Users can also add selected wallpapers to their favorites which gives the site a kind of social feature. The only con with the site is that it lacks the feature to view Retina wallpapers only.

2048px

With its minimalistic design, 2048px is strictly dedicated to provide Retina wallpapers for the new iPad. when you view it with an iPad it looks like to be a native iPad app enabling you to swipe left or right to browse through the wallpapers’ gallery. On your desktop, downloading a wallpaper is as simple as dragging and dropping it to the place you want it to be saved. The website is rather a new one and its archive is not that complete yet but even playing around the site would be much fun!
