So it's $3.00 for the back only, right? It looks good.

CrAkD · Nov 19, 2012, 10:11 AM

Yeah just the back and you can use your Smart Cover

Can you post a link? Would like to get one as well! Thanks!!

I'll add it to the original post too

I just received my poetic thinshell today and I like it better than the folio case I had. The cuts on mine are centered, but the top left corner doesn't snap on all the way. No big deal (to me) for a $4 case since it is still secure.

Ha! I ordered one also and should arrive today, also to use w/ a red smart cover. Looks great! Can't wait to get mine!

----UPDATE---
The case arrived and I really like it. I was using the iPad sans back cover for a few days so it'll take a minute to get used to having something on it now. But it is pretty thin, works great w/ smart cover. I like it better than the Switcheasy CoverBuddy. I got it and it felt bulky, covered the buttons which made them hard to use. This $3 Poetic case is light, leaves the buttons open (personal preference but you should know that it is not 100% covered). Everything lines up well.

The back cover is a little "grippier" than the ipad which is good. I kept feeling like it might slip out of my hands. lol. Overall, good first impression, especially for $3!!

Dunno if the forum will compress but here it is

Che Castro · Nov 19, 2012, 02:44 PM

Thanks

So that back covet is transparent ?

I wondering if I should get this instead of ghost armor full body skin , they want $50 with install

I already have a Smart Cover & I hate big cases

How thin is this back cover ?
Is there anyway you can post a quick video via youtube
Just film the back for a minute or 2

Mine arrived this morning too. Fits well and is very thin so I'm happy!

jabingla2810 · Nov 20, 2012, 04:28 AM

I have one of these on the way.

Ordered just because of the price, but based on these pictures I think i'll leave my iPad naked.

Looks a lot worse than I thought.

Oh well, only cost a couple of pound.

lokiju · Nov 20, 2012, 06:44 AM

Ordered. Worth trying for the money.

I bought a TPU that I received before launch day and cut out the Smart Cover slot but hopefully this will be a tad nicer.

jabingla2810 · Nov 22, 2012, 06:58 AM

Mine arrived.

I don't know if it's faulty, but it BARELY fits the iPad Mini. It's far too tight.

I took it off, with some force, and it isn't going anywhere near my iPad again.

Mine maybe faulty, but that thing is going to cause more scratches than it prevents.

mrschanah · 09:07 PM

I received mine today in the mail. It very nice for the price I paid for it. Doesn't add any extra weight or anything. I really recommend it.

Update: I had to remove the cover seeing as it put a small nick on my ipad

glen e · Nov 23, 2012, 08:36 PM

try a clear switcheasy cover buddy - like $12, and all the above plus perfect fit....

CrAkD · Nov 24, 2012, 06:43 PM

you guys are crazy. i have removed the back case and put it back numerous times. no harm to the ipad at all. ::shrug:: maybe I got a good one.
