My red Smart Cover can via Fed-Ex yesterday and I am very happy with it. I love the leather smell too! I'm not big on cases as I am very careful with my electronics. I never so much as set my iPad/iPhone down on a hard surface, only on a magazine, paper, etc. More than anything it's a dust cover when the iPad's not in use. I am however going to pick up a "Case Logic" carry case (looks like a mini laptop bag) tomorrow for transporting it to work safely.

I'll post pics and thoughts as soon as I get it. At this point it is looking like it might be a couple weeks.

I called them back late last week and was told that they are coming from Japan and with the current issues in Japan they have no clue when they will arrive. I canceled my order.

I just placed an order for a skin on this site.

Those GelaSkins are really awesome! I want to order a few to adapt to my mood lol. I love that they advertise that they are compatible with the Apple Smart Covers (incase I decide to grab one) and that you can download the matching background image to go with your cover!

Thanks KoDor!

These look great. But my only issue with them as well as the stealth armor (Fusion of Ideas | iPhone 4 Cases, iPhone 3Gs Cases, iPad Cases, iPod Cases, Screen Protector, Screen Protectors, Covers, Shields, Skins, Screen Fix) is the corners!

They leave the corners of the iPad 2 with zero protection.

I think am gonna have to suck it up and go for one or the other. Thanks for sharing KoDor

I am returning my blue smart cover ...i just can't help feeling it's an over-hyped, over-priced piece of cloth. I refuse to spend additional money to find something to cover the back. Will most likely order a Snugg or Snugg-like cover.

I can agree with you that it is over-hyped.

But it is extremely functional. I wasn't going to initially buy it, but even with my iPad 1 I wanted something that kept the iPad covered, but not bulk it up.

With the smart cover that was exactly what I got, now I am not too happy that I had to spend an extra $35 for the back cover from FusionOfIdeas (StealthArmor) but after I installed it and saw how cool it looks I feel better about it.

But then again, like the old saying goes, To Each His Own!

Looks like the DODO back is available for the Ipad2 now

My wife has preordered one of the grove baboo cases so we will see how long we are talking before they start producing them and shipping them.

I am getting the red leather smart cover. I would love to see pics if you could post some? Thanks,

I wish you wouldn't have said that. I'm hoping I don't really like the 2 but I'm going to look at one tomorrow. I remember when I went to the Apple store last year when the Ipad was released. I was sure I was just checking it out but I ordered one on the spot.

I was on the fence about my smartcover, but I've found it to work very well and when folded back in the triangle position it also makes a nice handle for extensive holding.

It's getting a bit pricey all around, but my plan is to keep the smart cover, wrap up the ipad in Zagg for surface protection, and get a super-thin slipcase for carrying around. I thin that'll offer the best overall protection while maintaining the ultra-thinness keeping it under wraps while walking around to avoid advertising "steal me" to everyone on the streets.

Guys here is another option for a back that is compatible with smart cover....
