Invisible Shield (Back Only) + Leather Smart Cover

Ive used front and back invisible shields on all my large screen handheld devices for years but finally broke the habit with the 4S when I realized that the glass is extremely scratch resistant and the screen both looks and feels better bare.

I am going to use a back shield though because the aluminum does scuff and I plan on selling next year so having it scratch-free will maximize its resale value.

This is what I have used for my past 4 iPads. Sleek with a great grip. I went from blue leather on white to tan on white. Keepin it classy.
 
Anybody plan on getting a folio with keyboard? I've been looking at the zaggfolio, the iPad 2 model should fit the new iPad. Any other recommendations?
 
smart cover and def some sort of skin for the back.

had a lot of scratches on my 2 because of the way the right side hits whatever surface when using the smart cover.
 
I bought an Incipio Lexington this morning to try out. I use a Smart Cover and the Belkin Snap Shield on my iPad 2 but the Smart Cover left a bunch of marks on the side where it attaches.
 
My smart cover scratched up my iPad 2 pretty badly. Only reason I will get one is if I have back protection.

If you get a back cover for it, will it keep the side from getting scratched? I was going to do Smart Cover + back cover but now I'm worried...
 
U Guys don't care about scratching the rear of ur iPad with those smart covers?

Put a skin on such as a Best Skins Ever or similar and no issues whatsoever. When I sold my ipad2 the back was pristine.

is there a case where the smart cover just connects mags to it instead of the iPad?
 
I will be using my existing grey smart cover. I want to get a film for the back this time, though. Was thinking Invisishield, but my brother has one and I don't like that they are glossy.

Does anyone know of a company that makes full coverage matte finish films like Invisishield? This is just for the back, the front I trust bare.
