CTsing protects the camera.

Excellent, thank you for letting me know. What do you think of the case?

Received the Poetic TPU back cover today with integrated Pencil holder. It's ok. Nothing special. For eight bucks, I wasn't expecting much. Pics taken with the ASK on.

Waiting on the KHOMO Charcoal Grey.

From my 6/16 post:

The CTsing case is not slippery. It not quite as soft, thick, or grippy as the Apple silicone cover but it definitely has some "tooth". You do have to cut the cover off and do a little surgery to accommodate the keyboard but it's not hard to do. Some people have reported that the charging port opening isn't big enough but that isn't a problem with the one I got.

I understand that some people are fans, but too over the top for me. Looks like it fell off of a space ship.

Received both the Jetech and Khomo cases today. Both very very similar. Both I feel are excellent for the $$. Kept the Khomo carbon fiber one on to start off for awhile. Quality on both is very good. Again, they're $15 cases.

What is exactly the quality of the Khomo case? is it hard plastic or TPU ? and is it just the back cover or is it like a complete front back case ? is it compatible with the Apple Smart Cover ?

Please post back your experience of the Khomo case ? What is the material ? And is it compatible with the Apple Smart Cover ? It is just a back cover right ?

My i-blason back shell has shipped with an ETA of 04/07 ... let's see how that is.

Thanks. I'll give it a shot. I do not have the keyboard and have not jumped on board of that yet until I find it necessary. In that case, I'll buy a different back for it than hacking apart this CTS case.

why, oh why did Apple dump the silicone rear case. I just don't understand.
I don't mind the look of the Khomo 'companion cover.'
Unfortunately, the Amazon sellers do not post to Australia.

Has anyone else in Australia found a similar case to the Apple silicone rear case?
Very frustrating, Apple!

How thick is that over all? with the stock non apple cover? does it add much weight?

Looks very bulky to me. I prefer the simple thinness that apple has designed the iPad with. I hold it in one hand often, I'm not sure my use case would work with such a product. I like the idea of the level of protection it provides, but it comes at a cost of its increased bulk

TPU rubberized back. Magnetic folding front cover. Not compatible with keyboard.

Really ? is the Khomo back case not compatible with Apple Smart Cover and keyboard both ? but on Amazon it says it does.

You know I may be wrong! I don't have or use a keyboard on an iPad. My point was that it's a great value cover for the price! Sorry if I misinformed.

 

[MrGimper]

Can someone please confirm if the i-Blason back case works with the Apple Smart Cover ?

Not yet as no one has one yet. You need to take a breath with all these questions from every post!
[doublepost=1498565293][/doublepost]

No I am talking about this one, I got the last black one.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0...d+pro+10.5&dpPl=1&dpID=51xW0ZFfNGL&ref=plSrch

This is the version I bought on the 15th when the black was available. I prefer the TPU rim

 

[augustya]

Guys please post your experience about the Khomo back cover and if it is compatible with the Apple Smart Cover ?

 

[Rilkal]

I wouldn't bother, first reviews on their site said it doesn't have any magnets for wake/sleep.
[doublepost=1498498491][/doublepost]I have had the JETech and the ESR TPU casesarrive today.

The JETech is heavier but the back plastic is really cheap feeling.

The ESR TPU feels a lot nicer in the hand and the branding is almost unnoticeable on my black case. The rear chrome logo can also be cut out if it bothers you that much.

I will compare and send one back once my iPad finally arrives on Friday...

My iPad arrived early

Both cases will eventually go back as they are both sub par, the ESR TPU case is ok, covers all the edges and feels good however the camera lense is totally flat with the case so it will likely get scratched when laid flat

The JETech is horribly cheap feeling, rough plastic that actually left a mark on one of the beveled edged...

I will keep hold of the ESR for now but damn I didn't expect them both to bomb out

You know the camera lens is sapphire, right?..... So can't see it getting scratched

Pre’d the future folio. Does anyone with experience of Sena know if inner case is soft?

Case should be here in early July. Amazon description says it's "flexible TPU", which I am going feels better than the Poetic case. The poetic feels "rubbery".

Yes, the Khomo is a rear case that is compatible with both ASC and ASK.

 

[elmacci]

I ordered the ICEO SmartCase from a german Shop - looks promising, being a look-a-like of the original ipad air 2 smart case which covers Front and Back. Unfortunately made out of PU Leather, not real Leather.

Already shipped, will probably receive it tomorrow.

cheers

The amazon description says back is hard plastic and edges are TPU !

If it is like the sapphire camera lens on the iPhone which I assume it is, it is not pure sapphire but is a sapphire blend/laminate that can be scratched much easier then sapphire.

Maybe so, but I don't like it.
