I just want to recommend this case to anyone who loves the look of the Belkin Snap Shield but hates how the poor quality of the case causes it to snap in the corners. I know this says it's for the iPad 2 but I can confirm that it does fit on the iPad 3 with no issues.

I actually went ahead and posted a review on Amazon so I'll just copy and paste that in here instead of rehashing everything.
I would wholly recommend this case to anyone who is searching for a thin, frost colored iPad back cover for the new iPad or iPad 3rd generation. As other reviewers have stated, this product does fit the new iPad. It is a tight fit but not a "forced" fit. I have had no problems in taking it off and putting it back on several times to test out how it holds up. There are no developed stress fractures or breaks in the materials. I have a hard time envisioning that happening as the materials is sorta of a "soft plastic" that has just enough give to prevent it from snapping in corners.
As I mentioned, the fit is perfect. I really have no complaints as, unlike similar frost colored products, this does not appear to attract any finger prints and I can't envision scratches becoming a problem as they're hidden by the frost look.
The back cover works seamlessly with the smart cover and does not, in any way, affect a screen protector (if you have one installed). All of the cutouts match up perfectly...including the camera cutout.
I would suggest the seller change the description on this item to let people know that this fits the new iPad.
I should also warn everyone that, I had contacted the seller and they were honest enough to let me know that, while the frost colored one would definitely fit the new iPad, the other colors will not. I'm not sure what the reasoning is for that but it's worth mentioning here.
The only reason I went with this cover over the new iPad 3 version is that this back cover allows the front smart cover to be removed....the new version of this case locks it in place.
