I purchased it, unfortunately I can't tell you anything about it because they haven't shipped them yet.
 
I was in the same situation, but I went with this one because it provided more coverage at the bottom and the top

I'm with you on protecting more of the bottom and top.

Try the Cimo Smart Cover Companion. A user named "Winston" says it works on the iPad 3 and only $5.40!

I ended up ordering Cimo made specifically for the new Ipad. It's a pre-order but I wanted the clear version. Only $13 shipped. Can't complain.

Now if I could only find a non-knockoff smart cover for cheap...

Thanks I will have to check these out. I found a like new leather red smart cover from a lady on Craigslist for $30.

Waiting or switcheasy coverbuddy. Had one for my iPad 2 and was awesome. Thin and unlike some it allows you to remove the smart cover without removing the case.
