Hey everyone - I've been using a Khomo rubber back case http://www.amazon.com/KHOMO-Rubberi...id=1373955357&sr=8-9&keywords=khomo+ipad+case for about 6 months and it has been great, except I've noticed that my ipad really heats up when I use it for stuff like playing games. The heat is similar to the underside of a laptop with full fans going, very warm to the touch. I guess the case really traps the heat in because it runs much cooler without it. Is this normal for iPads? Should i be worried? i figure it probably isnt good for the battery. i was thinking about getting a skin instead http://www.amazon.com/Skinomi-TechS...TF8&qid=1373954645&sr=8-11&keywords=Ipad+skin at least for scratch protection. Plus if I ever get a dock it would work good with a skin but probably not a case. I'm wondering if covering the aluminum back with anything blocks the dissipation of heat? Sorry for the long winded post but if anyone has recommendations I'd really appreciate it.
