I've had my white IPad since March 22 when I lucked into getting one at my local Apple store. I had ordered one online with an accompanying red leather smart cover but settled on an orange poly since the store was out of the red. I clean both sides of the cover every so often with a very damp, clean terrycloth rag. I clean the screen with the edge of the cover folded with the back on the outside - makes a triangle. Nothing on the back. I clean smudges off with an almost dry soft cloth - no scratches.
At home, my IPad sits on granite counter tops where there might be something sticky underneath, on a breakfast table, my nightstand, or it gets dropped in my purse and goes with me everywhere. No damage whatsoever.
I decorate it with myriad versions of orange coordinated wallpaper accompanied by "ooo's" and "ah's" from anyone looking over my shoulder.
But I'm getting a little tired of the poly cover. When I can find a cream leather smart cover and some water resistant protective coating for leather all in one shopping trip, I think I'll make a change.
