I'm done, yahoo! I've run through the gamut of leather folio cases, Apple Smart cases and numerous Amazon cases and ended up without a case.
Early on, I bought a Bodyguardz Carbon Fiber skin in white for the Air back. It sat in the package as I was leery of putting it on - figuring it would be as much fun as a screen saver. Also, I really wanted a case. So this weekend, I saw it again and thought - what do I have to lose and tried it. I love it! It was very easy to install and I really like the look and feel of it. It's a textured vinyl type material that sticks well to the iPad and has a decent grip when holding it or putting it on a table.
And with the white carbon skin, I have partnered wth the Apple covers in a few colors to change things up. I also like the Apple covers better than the Apple cases. The covers hold very tightly to the iPad itself and also have a much tighter grip when tri-folded in the stand modes. All of my covers seem to lay nice and flat and I think will be much easier to keep clean than the leather. Additionally, the covers' magnets make them stick to the back when holding like a magazine, so the covers stays tight and doesn't flop around.
I know that I'm out there with no drop protection and will need to be really careful in that regard but the grip is great with the Carbon skin and the Air fits nicely in my purse when I'm out and about. The lightness for me is just so worth it. And I can easily go even lighter when I don't need a stand.
Finally! I'm finished with my crazy search for a case. ������
