iPad Back cover cases, any favorites?

The.Dude · Oct 31, 2013

I always had either the ZUM or the Luvvit Dolce back cover, but neither have anything available right now. The Luvvitt is typically "frost" for their clear model. Lasts night I saw a review for the i-BLASON clear back cover for the mini, and they have one available the 7th for the Air. It has the anchors built in for the smart cover which is nice, any thoughts?

I have the Switch Easy Nude for my iPad 3 at the moment. I'm hoping to get their Nude or Cover Buddy for the Air when they are available. In the mean timeri have ordered a cheap one from Tech Net for temporary use.

I had the Caudabe Shell for my prior iPads which was pretty awesome. They don't have anything up yet for the Air, but I'm guessing it's just a matter of time.

Can you please post photos of these. I am leaning towards these cases for my mini. I am just unsure how the frost color would look on the space gray. Thanks

I've just ordered the Poetic Thinshell from Amazon. Currently discounted.

Just bought the Luvvitt Dolce on Amazon. There's only 4 left in the clear frost.

It'd be nice if they showed you the actual case the ones pictured with 1 speaker are the old gen.

The Air just came out. I'm sure they will have photos once the actual case is out of initial production.

I had this case on my previous iPad and think it's the best back cover out there.The two magnets on the back give it more options for angles while on a surface.Hope they make a version for the air.......

I had this case on my iPad 4 and loved it. I contacted Incase to see if they were making it for the Air. They were pretty non committal on any future style:

"We are working on custom cases, however we do not have an ETA or information in regards to which styles will be made. Please keep an eye on our website or follow us on Facebook or Twitter for future updates.

Just got my blue one and it's amazing looking. Fits perfectly and has that nice rubberized feel that I wanted. Great buy for 10.00!

That's what I like about them. A lot of people go for "absolute thinnest", but I've found that those are the hardest (most brittle) cases. I still haven't gotten mine in, but I will review it compared to the Dolce ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...ASIN=B00D52HVXY&linkCode=as2&tag=194753847-20 ) that I ordered as well.

I'm glad you are happy with it, I woulda felt like **** if I recommended it and you didn't like it

Do you have a blue Smart Cover for your Air? If so, did it match the blue of the Luvvit back cover? Thanks.

Yes, I did get the blue Smart Cover and the color is pretty close to matching. I have space gray back so the blue does look a bit darker but I like that. Sort of like painting a wall in your home a different shade of blue. I really do like this a lot. I paid 50.00 bucks for a back cover from iSkin for my 3 that was also very nice. It certainly is a bit thicker than the Luvvit but again, for 10.00 this is a great back cover.
