Are you going to purchase the Smart Cover? If so, which type/color?
- Thread starter NyCrAzY

Getting a plastic smart cover. Still trying to decide between silver/gray, green and blue.
I bought a 10.2" neoprene laptop sleeve made by Tuari at Target for $12.99 yesterday that I'll keep it in when not using it. That that should limit any scratches to the back, as well as providing padding when I chuck it in my briefcase or backpack etc.
Can always set the aluminum side down on that when using it on the go. Plus you can fold the smart cover over to cover the back when setting it down as well.
That said I'm not anal about scratches etc. I'll probably keep it at least 2-3 years before upgrading and then would likely give it so a family member or donate it rather than trying to sell it anyway.

Totally OT, but love the namekeyblade said:
Is this sleeve available when ordering on the apple website?
What about the full-body invisible shield?
Will both of these provide enough protection or is a leather/poly case still required for protection?

Orange for me.
Have the alarm set for 2:00 am (Mountain time) to order.

The Geeks were probably fighting over who got to use it first.

So many colours...only one iPad....
I wish there was a darker blue one. I like the charcoal one, but its leather and I don't want to spend money on a leather cover until I'm sold on the design functionality. So, it'll be the gray polyurethane for me.

Nope, the iPad 2 is a big enough expense by itself this month but next month, I will be looking at prices on Amazon etc on the smart cover or 3rd party covers too.
I guess I am one of the few that actually like the Apple case for the ipad 1. I accidentally set my ipad on the roof of my car as I was loading it and drove off with it still up there. I live in the mountains with winding roads and when I drove around one exceptionally large turn I heard a loud clunk. I realized at that moment that I had left my ipad on the roof and freaked out big time! When I could pull over I did but I could not find my ipad on the street anywhere. Lo and behold it fell off the roof onto my trunk and the case kept it from sliding off! I really, really like that case!!

dunno. just dunno.
up until now i'd planned on a black devise and black leather smart case. but now a white device with blue or pink or green cover sounds equally appealing.
decisions decisions
(also, did i hear somewhere the leather ones rub off or something?)

I ordered a pink one when I ordered at 3:03! After having my iPad nearly a year, I have no scratches on the back, and I've never used a cover. So I'm not concerned about that. I put it in a bag if I take it out of the house, but just couldn't get used to the extra bulk of a case, so the Smart cover seems ideal.
