I have a Kindle Reader and I bought an Oberon cover for it. Very well made, however it adds weight to the unit, and a Kindle2 is smaller than an Ipad2. They make beautiful tooled leather covers in many designs. I also have a clear case made by Speck Products which covers the top and bottom of my MacbookPro. It's very light weight and does an amazing job of protecting my laptop from scratches.

I don't have my new Ipad2 as of now, awaiting delivery from Apple, however I was wondering what would be the best choice for it. Since I don't have it yet, do they get warm when in use like a laptop?? And if so, I would be concerned about covering up the back with something that would hinder the release of the heat.

I have been giving serious consideration to the Smart Cap from TheHIshop.com. It seems to be made from a soft stretchable material, which looks as if it would let you get a good grip on the Ipad. I also have a Decalgirl skin on my Kindle and Laptop. They have a beautiful assortment of designs, are relatively tough, and you can even get a matching wallpaper for your screen when you buy one. The skin certainly wouldn't add weight, and should take abuse.
:D

Oberon also make covers for both iPad 1 and 2, although with the iPad 2 covers, they don't have a rear camera port or built-in magnetic activation, so you need to consider that loss of functionality. The iPad doesn't generate any heat, so there's no problems with full-body cases.

Are you looking for skin guards? I know SGP has some on their site. It's pretty light in weight, and it protects the back from scratches. I think it solely does that, but not enough protection if u were to drop it on accident.

May i ask what is SGP???
Im debating getting the skin for behind the ipad to match somehow the one I got for the zaggmate.
I dont know if i took a picture lol.
I love folio type covers,and hard cases like zagg but the zaggmate keyboard keeps the back of the ipad hanging out soooo thats the ONLY thing i dislike about it.
I need a skin to protect..maybe the invisible one is best?

I used an InvisibleSkin on the back of my iPad after bying the smart cover. Last week I change it for a slickwraps. I order the stanless steal but if you want to match the color of your smart cover, they have all the color for that.

Why did you switch?
