Why both :S?
I'm currently just using a smart cover, I'm worried about letting the back touch anything. I will be buying a Gelaskins possibly.. Depends what I think of the STM Skinny when it arrives.
Got a tip for us?

I still have the Suede Jacket which I bought 2 years ago, for when I'm on the go

Zagg on the back - with the Smartcover, that provides full protection while keeping the iPad as slim as possible.
I used a Clear-Coat on the first gen iPad, but I've been Smart Cover-only, with the iPad 2 & new, with a neoprene netbook sleeve when out and about.
Whoa. Talk about a 50-50 split!

No skin, but I have a smart cover & ordered a wallet to keep it in while not in use. When in use I generally have the smart cover folded behind protecting the back from whatever in on the table, but I worry about stuff in my backpack scratching it... hence order for wallet. Some inexpensive ones on Amazon, this is the one I ordered: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007BSPRYS

Using a Targus Vucomplete - mainly because I could get it on the same day as I got my iPad (there were only 3 or 4 back covers to choose from, from what seems to be the only place in the city centre that cells iPad covers, and took the only one that had a clear back). It's definitely decent and I do like the fact that it's clear, however it's definitely prone to scratches...
Belkin Snap Shield on back, Smart Cover on front. I also put a strip of scotch tape where the hinges go because they tend to scratch the aluminum.
Is that an iPad 2 Snap Shield? I saw them in Target today, but wasn't sure if they fit or not?
They do!!!! I took a gamble and bought one Saturday--fit like a glove and I did not have to force it at all.
I got one at Target today (my store had the ones with the metal strip to hold the Smart Cover and the ones without for $20) and it fits my new iPad just fine!
I'm looking into the Belkin Snap Shield with the metal strip. Did you settle for that one? If so, would you recommend it?
Yeah - it seems to fit well and I liked the $20 price tag (not sure if I'd spend $35 on it) - obviously, I've only had it for about two days, but it has a good rubbery/plastic texture, doesn't seem to affect the operation of the iPad, doesn't really take away from the aesthetic. As far as things go now, I'm pretty happy with it.
