Smart Cover w/TPU Back (Pics)

[skaterboy]

I love my eBay case but just realized my headphone jack does not fit as the hole is not lined up. Anyone have this issue? I'm using the apple headphones. Thanks.

Cut out

Hmm, I wonder if there is a way to cut a perfect circle in the back of the case to show the Apple symbol...

is this case kind of hard that it holds onto the sides of the ipad, or is the hold very loose like those silicon ipad cases?

The TPU cases have enough flex that they cannot grip the sides like a true hard case (kind of annoying, considering that the no name ebay sellers often advertise them as hard cases). They require a lip that grasps the very edge of the screen.

I would have been all right with the ones I had, but my screen protector also went to the very edge of the screen. So the TPU case would detach the edges of my screen protector no matter how carefully I put it on. If your protector has a gap and doesn't go all the way to the edge of the screen, it would probably work.

i currently have a silicon case from ebay, but its very loose. Just by passing by finger over it, the lip detaches from the ipad. Is this the same with this one or is it a little more sturdy?

Happy with Grey/Grey Smart Cover + TPU Back

I got my grey TPU back from the same ebay seller as the one pictured on page 1.

Nice quality, great fit. Only complaint is that the headphone hole is slightly off. Apple headset still snaps in and works, so only an aesthetic issue.

EDIT: Did some more stretching on the top of the cover. Headset jack hole aligns fine. Cannot be happier.

EDIT: It is now peeling up the edges of my screen protector skin. Not a deal breaker, I can live without the skin.

I would love to get the clear one if it worked with my Logitech keyboard case. Just to keep the back protected, but I think I'm going to have to go with a Invisible shield or something similar.

They don't look bad at all. Good deal for the price. Thanks!

I am having so much trouble putting this case on with a screen protector. Any ideas? It's such a tight fit. Where it lifts the screen protector and causes air bubbles..

I'm looking to do the same setup as all of you, but I'm in Australia so I'll have to buy from the local seller on eBay. Does this item http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...48037&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_4304wt_907l look to be the same case as "cimo tech" or the guy you're all buying off in the US? Do all the cut outs look the same, and does it have the same bumpy texture as pictured? Thanks guys

I gave up on the screen protector. Peeled it off.

Came across this thread after searching for information. reviews on amazon say the case described in this thread also fits the new iPad: the screen protector issue will probably be magnified since they are saying it is tighter for the updated version. Cimo has an iPad 3 version available too which i assume will no longer have this. I'll find out soon enough though
