I'm with you MrPlow. It is why I like the skins - some protection from scratching/bumping - but minimal size increase. I've tried several bumper type cases for the iPhone - but it ends up feeling huge compared to just skins.

I picked up the Jot Adonit - but I was worried about scratching.

I picked up a 6 pack of screen protectors.

I put the Antiglare on But I don't care for it. It does reduce glare, and works pretty well in direct sunlight. All other glare is pretty reduced. I'm going to stick with it for a while - before I try out the diamond and -anti-fingerprint.

The Jot works great with Penultimate, and Notetaker HD. Didn't work so well with Notes Plus. UPad is currently broken with the New iPad (iPad 3).

I’m waiting for a revised Speck or Incipio case. Great products, large range of options from ultra light coverage to heavy duty (especially Incipio). I believe some of the 3rd Gen products are starting to trickle out, since it’s so new, the details are a little sketchy.

We’ve got an Incipio NGP on the 1st Gen iPad, and it’s pretty awesome. Scratch and some shock resistance, wraps around just a touch on the front so laying it won’t contact the glass (on a flat surface).

I don't think I could advise a hard plastic shell for the back of the new iPad. Might interfere with the heat dispersal Apple designed for it, and I wouldn't want to take that risk.

That said, I'm doing nothing with the iPad that really taxes it to its limits or for long periods of time.

Hi,

I have an new iPad and a cheap screen protector and back case.

I have a Zagg invisible shield HD in the post and my current back case is starting to fray my current cheap protector.

I'm looking for a case that will not start to fray my $40 invisible shield.

Des any once have any recommendations?

Thank you

I've found that the invisible shield isn't all that hearty. I like it as a screen protector but I've had peeling issues with the back cover no matter what I do. Plenty of cases fit over the shield but it still seems to fray/peel at the edges.

That is why I went with the Zagg leatherskin instead. The leather seems not to peel/fray even at the edges. I was able to put several cases on top of the leather skins - the last one I tried was a Built hard case. Fit over the leather fine.
