I just don't like that ventilated back.

It's stupid.It's weird. Do they really think that open strip "ventilates" the iPad?
The Apple cases that cover the backs of iPads and iPhones and never have these ventilating cut outs and never once have I had an issue with Apple leather case.
I just want something that complements the ASK and protects the corners & back. A full case (front/back) wouldn't be usable with the keyboard. I don't want to have to take the iPad out/in of the case every time I use the keyboard. If the ASK protected the back & corners (and for $159, I think it should be an option!), I wouldn't be searching for anything else.
Still looking . . . .

Looking at this one: Anyone tried this company before?

Sure. I've added some to my review on Amazon, (via the previous link).
Ultimately I would like a product (Red) smart cover and a clear tpu back to go with it, like i had on my old pro, This will do for now though.

If I'm taking my ipad in my backpack, it sits in a separate section with a padded back (with my laptop behind it) so I don't need back protection. However, I only have the smart cover on the front - is that robust enough to protect from light knocks/bumps? Or should I look for a hard sleeve or other protection just for when its in my bag?
I went with the Incipio octane pure because there is very limited options in Australia at the moment. Ive had a case of theirs on my 6s since launch and I've been more than happy with it. Hopefully it arrives tomorrow, so scared I'm going to damage my iPad.
Where did you get it from? I'm struggling to find much of anything as well, except maybe the Cygenett Tekview at JB.
Hmm... Seems good that I didn't order Moko's case as a temp case since it would have been trash or pulling out my dremel to make it work until they replace it.
My 10.5" is in the mail and still waiting for a decent case.

Even more stupid considering the logic board on the 10.5 has moved from the side of the chassis, to the middle....
I am looking for a clear silicon back cover that will also allow me to connect the smart keyboard. Has anyone found one? Not a hard clear cover, but a silicon bendy type.

This is the case I plan on going with since I've always used incipio for my iPads, however still not available for purchase on their website yet
I'm waiting for ESR to release theirs. I had their one for my 9.7. It's hard back but silicon sides. Very good.

Is there a soft TPU/Silicon back cover that also allows Smart Cover to be fitted? Thinking I'd either go for that combo or wait until origami type case is released. Returned Moko now, those hard plastic cases make me a bit nervous, remember my pitted up MBP well.
I second that!

The *only* thing that would have made that better, would have been for the silicon rim to have been as firm as the apple silicon cases. The ESR is just a tiny bit more flimsy and pulls away from the iPad.
A coworker was telling me about Sena cases and he was looking into preordering one.
Anyone have any experience with them? This 360 rotational one is kind of interesting to me.

Just received this from Amazon and its perfect for me I got it for 9.99 they must have put the price up due to increased demand!
It's good quality feels like the Apple silicon cover and fits perfectly. It even fits my 9.7 keyboard without taking it out of the case.
So I am returning my very expensive Smart Cover got no need for it now.

I really want something like that but without the front part and with a slot cut out to fit the smart keyboard cover. Sigh…
