iGadgitz Clear Tough Crystal Gel Skin (Thermoplastic Polyurethane TPU) Back Cover for Apple iPad 2 +

iGadgitz Clear Tough Crystal Gel Skin Back Cover for Apple iPad 2 + Screen Protector. Custom made for use with Smart Cover Attached..
  • Manufactured for use with iPad 2 Smart Cover. (SMART COVER NOT INCLUDED).
  • iGadgitz custom made gel skin made from hardened transparent TPU for the Apple iPad 2nd Generation.
  • Total access to all controls and functions whilst case and Smart Cover are in place.
  • Supplied with custom screen protector that will work with your smart cover attached.

I just received this back cover and it works just as described with my iPad2. It fits snugly and has precise cutouts for all the iPad's buttons, ports and speaker. It also works great with the smart cover in place. I like that I can still see the brushed aluminum back of the iPad itself with this cover on. The cover has no odor (I'm sensitive to these things) and has a nice feel a little bit grippy but not overly so. I realize it's not designed to protect the iPad if it gets dropped, but it's a good compromise for me because it adds very little weight and protects the iPad's back from scratches. A good value at around $10 since you also get a screen protector.

Update: this cover is just thick enough that it doesn't allow the iPad2 to seat into the Apple iPad 2 dock, so I'm removing one star.

This gel skin had a nice feel and the fit around the ports was tight, but it left at least a 1/4" gap between the naked aluminum back of the ipad and the smartcover, too much for me to keep it, as I imagine that strip of exposed aluminum will really get scratched over time.
