Hey guys
I recently got my iPad 3 and I wanted to order a smart cover as well but I didn't,because I've read that it scratches on where the magnets join the device.
So,I was thinking about getting a back shell such as Belkin shield/ Incipio smart feather but I noticed that neither of those cover where the smart cover's magnets are placed.
So,does something like these shells exist ? that can somehow protect the device from getting scratched by the smart cover's magnets ?
Thanks.

I'm using a case and cover from STM on my iPad2. It will probably fit a new iPad, and no scratch problem.

Yes I've been hearing about STM Skinny and STM Grip but don't know which is better.(BTW,Only the Skinny version is available in the UK)
So,are you satisfied with it ? any cons ? Does the speaker cover have any effect on the sound quality ?
thanks

Have not noticed any effect on the speaker output. Like the case as it protects my iPad when (not if) I drop it.

Great!
Also,how much bulk does it add to the iPad ? The specs says it's 181g,so I assume it won't add much weight to the device,right ?

Don't know why that would be. And, if it is I have no way of knowing. Mine is brown FWIW.
