    New here. Just wanted to say I have been in contact with Case-Mate for the Barely There and Incipio for the Feather (compatible with Smart cover).

    A few things.

    The Incipio version you will have to use the Cover ALL THE TIME, I.E. the feather will not be able to be on without the cover.

    However the Case-Mate Barely There, they have told me that you can in fact remove the cover as it will simply have the cut outs for it.

    I find this important because if I am just sitting on couch watching TV I find myself removing the cover (long periods) and when I leave the house (or wander the house) I put the cover back on.

    Hope this helps and you can add to you summary up above.

    goblue (and GO WINGS).

    Yup, so far the feather will be the only case on this list that will cover the smart cover hinges. I did not mention this because I wanted to keep this just an objective list. We can definitely discuss the pros and cons of each in the comments, but I did not want to impose my opinions of each case in the list itself.

    As for the Case Mate Barely There, there is currently an iPad 2 version, but does not appear to have cut-outs for the smart cover. Are you saying Case Mate is working on a Smart Cover compatible one?

    Thanks,

    JD

    I had a Joy Factory on pre-order but cancelled it at the last minute when I noticed that the top and bottom of the case is exposed. I have an Enki on pre-order, but there still isn't enough pictures of it to determine it's coverage. However,from the pictures they have available the bottom looks mostly covered, and the top is yet to be determined.

    I didnt even notice that!! Thanks for pointing that out, looks like i will have to go with the Enki or targus has one but it is not compatible with the smart cover, which is a huge turnoff to me.

    Another option if you are looking for a shell case is the XGear Enhancer (link in the main post) It's got most of the coverage except a small section at the bottom between the speaker and the dock port. It comes in black and clear and is just a tad more than both the Joy Factory and Enki.

    Joy - Kind of

    I just received my joy factory cover and its really nice, but I have to wonder, and maybe someone here has the true answer, why did they leave the top and bottom uncovered? I have noticed this in several back covers for the ipads. Was it just because of timing and the cut outs? Or was there a more specific reason?
