Will the smart cover magnets still work with a cover on the back of the ipad2? I'm wondering are the magnets trong enough to stick through the skin on the back.Anyone one with personal experience?

Thanks!
 
This is what i'm going with. I would hate to have the back all scratched up. I'm still sort of undecided on the smart cover. I like some stuff about it.

This is my plan as well. Already ordered the BSE back.

I'm thinking about doing this too, what brand should I use?
 
I doubt the skin will go up the side far enough to interfere with the magnets anyway
 
I've ordered just the back skin an a smart cover I always have problems applying skins but hopefully the back only won't be too hard especially around the sides
 
Just ordered my BSE as well, and on my iPad 2!

My first iPad and really loving it
 
I emailed them this question but never heard back. I ordered three anyways.

My only wish is that bestskins would offer a matte/frosted option similar to what wrapsol has. The matte ones look a little nicer than the shiny zagg/bestskins. But the wrapsols are like $30 (must buy both pieces) and that's a little too much for me.
