Try a spritz of armor all on the leather smart cover and wipe off with a clean piece of cloth instead of shoe polish. Quick and effective. Shoe polish residue can transfer onto other stuff it comes into contact with and create quite a mess.

Read this after I posted above. Would "Armor All" work for the cream leather?

Works for me. Any cleaning material that's labeled for leather should work fine as long as it's not tinted like the conventional shoe polishes. Also tried Eagle One for car leather seats. Works great too. Just be careful in handling it after application because newly polished leather does tend to be slippery. You just might end up inadvertently dropping your iPad.

Hi Poison ivy

There are numerous threads on both of these topics. I wouldn't touch the cover question simply because so much depends on personal taste, price, design for use as a stand, etc.

On the stylus issue, though, I have a firm opinion. Go to iFaraday.com and buy one. If you're unsure about the various models, take a $10 risk and get the standard model in a randomly selected color. Otherwise, choose one that meets your specific needs.

I can practically guarantee you won't be sorry. The iFaraday stylus is simply superior to any other stylus I've used. (And I've tried a bunch.)

I went through three expensive screen protectors by different brands during the first month of my iPad 1 back in April 2010. It was just a waste of money. No film will remain pristine for longer than a few weeks. Pretty soon, these sustain scuffs, scratches, and fades. Ugly. Ultimately decided not to use any. Until the other week when I upgraded to an iPad 2, my unprotected ipad 1's screen remains without any scuffs or scratches.

Naturally, my new iPad 2 remains without any gratuitous screen protector.

I completely agree. I HATE those screen protectors. I also tried one with the first iPad and ended up taking it off by the end of the day! I use the smart cover and have case that protects the back. I have never gotten a scratch. The protector in my opinion makes the screen look greasy.
