OK guys, Ipad should be here tomorrow according to tracking, so finally going to make my mind up on a "proper hard case"

The 2, I have narrowed it down to are, the mcally snap on clear case, or the switcheasy Nude, clear.

So guys any input, or of course any other hard back cases you guys think beat either of these??

thanks in advance.

I also shortlisted both and ended up in Macally Flexifit silicon case. CanCom guys were nice enough to open & demo a variety of Macally cases. I picked up flexi-fit silicon case in the end.

I have tried both. The MacAlly clear snap-on is better (it feels better in your hands; the back does not scratch, etc). However, it comes with some sharp corners that I had to file down (they hurt your hand, but not the iPad). It took a few minutes.

How much thicker is the macally??

To my touch, very slightly thinker, but it feels better.

Also, note that it does not cover the edges, but grips the iPad by the four corners. This is in fact one reason why I like it better -- it feels less intrusive, "nuder" than the NUDE. But some people might like it less for the same reason. Decide according to your own preference.

I have the UltraClear Nude and highly recommend it. Seems like they had some issues at first with a bad fit, but 3 of my friends got the same case this week and its working out great for them. (Two of them have wifi, one with 3G, all fit perfect) Mines been great from the start :)
