Has anyone else received their iPad 3rd gen Gelaskins yet? I just received and installed mine tonight and am not as happy with how it looks as last year with iPad 2. They didn't change the cut to account for the thickness of the iPad 3, so now it is less covered on the SmartCover magnet side.

You can't exactly "scoot" the placement over because you have to line up the button and camera holes in the back so you get a straight alignment. Anyway, for $37 (after shipping), I wish they would have used a new cut for the iPad 3.

When you go to open it, you can see that it says "iPad 3, 2nd gen" on there, implying that the same sticker works for both iPad 2 and iPad 3.

Last year I used a Gelaskin for the iPad 2 and always liked how it protected the aluminum back from SmartCover marks. We'll see how it wears over the next year.

Thought you guys might want to see a few pics of the coverage.
