Has anyone had experience with either, or both of these cases. I am going to get one of these and just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on either. I like the clear back and the black border around the i-Blason case and then I also like the Khomo back cover since it can match the ASK.

Finally, if I do get the Khomo case, do you know which color case will exactly match the ASK? The blue or the charcoal Khomo case.

Thanks!

I have both. The I-Blason has a good bumper but I feel the clear back will get scratched up fairly easily and quickly.
The khomo is a great case with good protection, however I don't like the gap around the corners as the are left with no "ridge" so the case can be fitted. Seems like it will be a good place for crud to accumulate.

The charcoal is as close as an exact match to the ASK.

If you want an alternative option, there's the ESR:

EDIT: In case weight is important to you
KHOMO = 106g
I-BLASON = 86g
ESR = 79g

Very informative, thanks, I appreciate all of that information.

Which case you are using currently?
 
The ESR with the ASK, or black/grey ASC. I love the ESR as it's thin and fits very well with a frosted back.
The only possible issue is that it doesn't have a noticeable clearance to protect the rear camera. That's not to say there isn't one and it looks level to the camera, but it's not like 1-2mm like other cases. This doesn't bother me as it keeps the case thin
 
Is the "gripping zone" on the ESR case nice or is it a gimmick? Also, just to clarify do you have the clear ESR or the charcoal/grey color case?

And if you had to pick one between the i-Blason and the Khomo back cover, which one would you choose?

Thinking pretty hard between these three cases....

Thanks again

The "gripping zone" is good. It's rubbery and grippy so does what it says. Colour matches the ASK. I have the clear ESR. The back is frosted and the edges are clear.

Between the I-Blason and the Khomo, I'd take the Khomo. This is due to the clear back of the I-Blason, and the fact the bumper is black.... doesn't "go" with the ASK and my white/silver iPad as much as I'd hoped.
