hi all,i just got my ipad2 and got the smart cover the same day,now im wondering about the back,does it scratch easily?does it need protecting?how does yours look after using without a cover on the back?if you use a film or something on the back what did you get or make?thanks.
 
I've had mine since the the first day they came out and only used the smart cover. I only recently added a clear back cover as more or less a just in case factor. But, the back of my iPad still looked perfect as the day I bought it. I picked mine up off ebay. Works with the smart cover.

Well, I suspect that scratches are always a possibility w/ an unprotected back of the iPad - just not sure about there frequency?

However, I bought a clear plastic back cover made by Cimo Technologies - snaps (and stays) on leaving access to all of the controls - compatible w/ the smart cover; adds little thickness to the iPad, and feels a little more sturdier to hold at least in my hands.

Just my opinion - good luck in your choice - :)
 
thanks all,my main worry was when it was lying around the house or taking it out,my smart cover covers the back when using it except when its a stand,i went in the apple shop this afternoon and the lad in there said they dont scratch all that easy,in the end i bought a nice Griffin slip case that has a pull up tab that lifts the ipad partly out,if i come across a transparent film(like the screen protector stuff)i will add one for good measure.
 
I put a skin on the back of my ipad2. The skin didn't add any weight and folks stop me to see both the skin and the ipad.
 
My iPad2 went straight into a folio case the moment it came out of the box - again 'just in case'

I scratched mine the day I got it :( I slid it across the table as it was bit out of reach and got a big scratch on it from something that I couldn't see on the table, still don't know what it was.bought a skin for the back since and recently got a back cover that works with my smart cover, I would defiantly put something on the back to protect it as I was gutted to have damaged it first day with my carelessness

 can understand how you would be gutted. I would be too.never mind in years to come you will only have one scratch 
