I found a leather case with a smart cover tha on eBay, for when my iPad comes. When I travel, it'll fit snugly into a Vera Bradley bag. Still on the fence about a screen protecter. I use lots of Apple products and have for years without so much as a scratch. So I'll have to see how I feel about that when my iPad gets here.

For me screen protectors, the kind that stick to the screen, defeat the niceness of the screen. If I had to have one to protect the screen, I'd rather
not have the device. However, my experience suggest that for me, these screen protectors are not needed. My last cell phone that I used for two years, still has a perfect screen--not a single scratch, and I did nothing special to protect it. And I kept it in my pocket with keys and stuff. I kept my iPad 2 for a year and no problems there.
I even have a blackberry curve smartphone and its screen is in perfect condition. So, I am a person that does not need to worry about protecting the screen. However, I must worry about the back and edges of the device, so I do need a case.

I always use a screen protector, there are too many things in my purse that will scratch it. . My favorite is iVisor. I love cases, but only use them when traveling. I don't like the added weight. I just ordered a Vaja case for my iPad 3. I am female the need to accessorize is in my genes!

I like the nakedness of the screen as is. I have never had a scratch (of course bragging about it isn't wise) on a phone or the iPad.
The iPad itself is too "slick" to be comfortable for me. I don't like the way it slides around on tables, etc. I keep one of those silicon back covers when at home. If traveling I put on the apple Smart Cover.

I use a case but no screen protector.

I say protect with TPU backing at least. I have not seen any scratches on the screen on any iPads. Even though I don't plan on selling, I think it's good to know the iPad resale holds its value pretty well.

I've been looking at various options as I bought my iPad4 last wek. So far I am considering the Moshi iVisor AG Anti Glare screen, the BookBook cleather cases by 12 South and still looking.

Case. Screen protector is a huge no.

I have a swivel case which I love. Got a good deal on one on Amazon.

For me a screen protector is a must but only because I have a three year old. I had a screen protector on my ipad first gen and my son came up and very roughly set a toy on top of it while I was holding it. Huge scratch down the front of it. Of course the scratch is I the screen protector but I decided to use one on my ipad three for this reason. My preference is NOT to have one but I do it for the reason of my child.

Love my GumDrops cases. The ipad one looks like tire treads, and since I'm a gear-head and love anything with tires, it's perfect for me. Have dropped it a couple times, and it just bounces
