I'm waiting for Belkin's Snap Shield http://www.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=650033
Anyone know of any other smart cover compatible rear shells in the UK?

I picked up a $4 clear plastic case from amazon for my iPad 2...I just hated the sound the aluminum made on my coffee table when I put it down....it sounded like my resale value slipping away.
Bought a nice red leather smart cover with my ipad 2 and have hardly used it.
Got a Targus TPU cover for the back and it has been fantastic. Very cheap from Amazon UK and it is all I have used for nearly a year. Fits perfectly.
It is still in great condition. I remove it regularly to dock the ipad.
It even fits my new ipad with ease!

I put nothing on mine, and I only use the smart cover when I need a stand or I'm taking it out pside my home.
I'm waiting for this case too. I wanted a clear matte back cover compatible with the smart cover and having the magnet on the back is a big bonus.
You can also check out macally. I believe amazon uk has the new iPad cases up for sale. I almost ordered the cover and back combo from macmall since it was a cheaper than I paid for the apple smart cover.
If you're careless. I've never had a back covering in mine and it's never beena problem.
On both the ipad2 and new ipad I have just bought a Zagg skin for the Kindle fire or similar size and put it on the back center. Does two things, has a nice slightly rubbery feel and grip to keep it from slipping out of my hand and keeps the highest part of the back from getting scratched when I set it down on a flat surface.
Not on my iPad 2. Used to have a Switcheasy Coverbuddy on but still managed to get a tiny scratch on it even with the case on. So now that first scratch is there i'm not bothered about getting anymore on it. I doubt I will be selling the iPad 2 by time the next iPad comes out next year i'll probably just give it to a family member so i'm sure they won't be bothered about a few scratches on a free iPad.

I ordered a bodyguardz for the back this time, delivers on Wed. For the iPad 2 I had a bestskinsever which I liked and for my iPhone 4s I have an iWrap. I'm just trying them all out

This year's Gelaskin (new iPad): http://gelaskins.com/gallery/Sam_Flores/Water
Last year's Gelaskin (iPad 2): http://gelaskins.com/gallery/Lawrence_Yang/Shore
Still waiting on the Gelaskin though, hopefully it comes in by the end of the week. The aluminum is slippery and chilly when I'm surfing on the couch
I use SmartCover on the from and when on the move, it all goes into an InCase neoprene sleeve for protection.

I just got these and they're great. They are a lot like laptop feet. $12.00 shipped through sears was the best deal I found:

The back scratches very easily if its in a backpack or a brief case with other items. I'd much rather leave the screen unprotected than the back. I think the glass is much more durable than the aluminum.
That being said, I have a skin on order to use with my new smartcover.

Waiting for switcheasy nude...I've had one on my ipad 1 for two years, back still looks like new.
Haha, I was the 81st vote to break the tie from no to YES! Anyway I use a BodyGuardZ on the front and back.
I use a "frogz" back which is compatible with the smartcover. It is clear so i can see the engraving, apple logo, etc. It definately protects the back from any damage.
No skin, but I have a bag from this site, which also fits my smart cover and my LogiTech external keyboard:
