I just got my Belkin Grip Vue (clear version), and it feels great! It also doesn't have a horrible plastic smell to it.
What I like:
1.) It gives me the feel that the iPad won't slip out of someone's hands.
2.) It gives me security that if the iPad gets bumped up against something, that there is enough protection, especially around the corners, to protect it.
3.) The clear plastic helps retain the iPad's native color scheme.
What I don't like:
1.) The only thing so far - the price. However, I'm willing to pay an extra $10 or $20 over what I would normally pay for something that isn't flimsy and will protect my iPad.
