Nice review - I've ordered the Black Smart Feather, I think it will go well with the smart cover.
 
dfig, How is the fit with the sleeve without the smart feather and leather smart cover? Is it snug or loose? Perfect?

I dont have the leather but im sure that will be a bit easier to put on then the polyurethane. It fits snug but not hard to install or remove.
 
My red case came. Perfect fit as others have said here. Very slim. It's as good as it'll get for thin-ness sake. Love the color. Glad I went with it. Won't bother posting pics unless someones specifically asking to see the red in action.

So did anyone also apply the screen protector? i opted to leave hit off. I have no screen protector. Those that did, how is it?
 
Question for Smart Feather owners... is there a little give on the upper right edge of the case? I notice when I set my iPad down right side first, there's a bit of a small hallow sound every time it makes contact with my desk. Upon closer observation, I notice there's a bit of "space" in the upper right edge. As if it's not perfectly snug there.

You guys too, or did I get a slightly warped case?

My case has a little space in the top right edge too.
 
think I can run a icarbons skin under the feather?

I have a standard thickness vinyl stick on my ipad and with the case over that it seems fine, im sure you can put a full skin and you should be good to go :cool:
 
Seems like I'm following in DFig619's footsteps. Had the smartcover from my iPad 2, bought the Origami case last week and then ordered a Frost SmartFeather last night (they list the new one on Amazon now and I have a ton of gift cards there) so I pulled the trigger. Looking forward to seeing how it looks. I also bought a Thule Crossover backpack to carry all my stuff last night.
 
Great post, you've mirrored by exact setup with the exception of the color of the smart cover. I also purchased the Incipio Sleeve with handles, it has side pockets for my iPhone. Just a perfect setup for when I am on the go, which is almost everyday. Love this setup.

How does the Origami work for you with the smart cover and feather?

Well the original poster has the Origami, but I have the Incipio Sleeve, because I prefer my Sleeve to have handles. Anyway.. they are basically the same and it works great. Slides right in and comes right out when needed.
 
Great review. I have it in frost as well to go with a dark grey poly smart cover.

Don't know if anyone answered this yet, but YES, you can hold onto just the smart cover and it will not release. The smart feather locks it on. I guess like the ZUM ipad2 cover did.
 
Can y'all with the frost back post pics of your set up? I'm really loving the frost and want to just see some more in action especially with other colors. If anyone has it paired with the red smart cover that's be even more ideal.

Would appreciate it.

After using my iPad with the Smart Feather, I've decided to return it, and go naked on the back. I'll only use a Smart Cover, and maybe purchase a cheap sleeve for when it's in a bag.

I realize I can't stand covers, not even ones as thin as Incipio's Smart Feathers. It's uncomfortable to hold a case holding an iPad.

At the most, I may purchase a skin from Spigen SGP or something to stick onto the back, but that's probably as far as I'll go. :T
 
This case seems very similar to the belkin case sold at bestbuy to be used with the smart cover. I currently own the belkin version and have noticed that it does not fit very tightly; you can pull it off the iPad by just using the iPad... it's that loose. Does the incipio version have this same issue or is it tightly held on? Also, does anyone know of local brick and mortar stores in the US carrying the frost? Thank you
 
Does the Frost version scratch easy?
I don't mean if it scratches the iPad, but the case itself.

Perfect! Got my first iPad (new/3) this weekend, and came here looking for case ideas. Really liked the solution in this thread, and this coupon code seals the deal.
 
for those that got the frost. Is it clear? or opaque like gallon milk jugs?

I am looking for a clear case that can see through pretty well. Want to be able to see the icarbon skin on the back.
