Does anyone know of any back covers (smart cover compatible of course) which are soft, more gel like?

was unaware they existed but apparently they do.
I ordered this from Amazon and will receive tomorrow.

I liked it because it has color but is still see thru (ish) for the Logo plus it's compatible with the smart cover. It's TPU material too. I'm not found of hard case shells or silicone. This is the best alternative for me.
Not a bad price either.
They also make other colors and a clear which is really milky frost like.

I use this one (link). Though it was designed for the iPad 2, it fits the new iPad perfectly. It has a magnetic strip at the back which holds the smart cover in place when it is open.

UPDATE:
Just got this case and it's BEAUTIFUL!
It's the right shade of green to coordinate with the Apple smart cover and it fits perfectly. They did have a run of bad units which they have corrected now.
It's TPU material which grips but not to grippy and I like that it translucent so it lets the Apple logo shine through. It's glossy not matte which I really like tool Price isn't bad either.:D

I have my incipio feather with my black leather smart cover and I love it.

I bought some leather folio thing in the at first but it was way too bulk and unusable so I returned it.
