iPad iPad Air: Belkin Snap Shield Cover and scratches/scuff marks?

Make sure the cover and the iPad is clean before putting it on. It will not damage the iPad. It is made to prevent it.
I've been using one of these i-Blason back cover almost exclusively with no scuffs. Just make sure things are clean when you snap it on.

I used the Belkin on my 3rd gen from launch until I sold it at the Air release. No problems at all.
I bought the clear or frosted one from eBay, good deal at half price, I ordered and picked it up at my local Best Buy in a half hour total time. Linkage: http://www.ebay.com/itm/190962187823?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649I I use this with a smart cover and it barley increases the bulkiness, almost none at all.
**EDIT, I see they raised the price now.

Every case/cover destroys the look, better than destroying your iPad. For $10 try ebay for a cheaper piece of plastic

That's what I exactly mean, what is so good about Belkin over priced piece of junk? If you must protect your iPad's back so badly then you may as well the $5-10 piece from eBay or Amazon.
Does Amazon not ship to you guys? If you really want something specific I could probably order it for you then send it out when I get to NZ later this month.
Some sellers do alot don't. They retail for $29.99 so i ended up paying $14 freight from Asia. Its on the way.
They will be in shops in Australia eventually, i have had one for iPad 4. I don't live in a big city so choice is limited.
Thanks for the offer though.

Been there done that, you get what you pay for.
Hey guys, just found this on Amazon Prime for 14.99 US. This is for the
Belkin Shield Sheer Matte Case / Cover for iPad Air (iPad 5) (Clear). Just ordered it for myself so hopefully some of you guys can get it too. Don't know how long this will last.

Got my clear one today, fits great with the smart cover, magnets work on the back too. Has a nice matt finish feel to it, doesn't feel like cheap shiny plastic. Space grey air looks good in it. Ordered Tuesday arrived Friday from Hong Kong. No complaints here.
