You probably won't get it in time for friday but hypershield is selling their back protectors for ≤$10 (they're on sale right now)

I ordered a thermoplastic black back cover & it should be arriving tomorrow; hope it's hole is big enough for the camera

Thanks but looking more for a clear skin protector not really case.
I will say though those look tempting at the price thing is they are for iPad 2 would they still fit new one (thought it was thicker)?

arent those hypershields for ipad 2? the new ipad is a little thicker, im not sure those will fit
I've checked most every 'skin' company and have not been able to find anything that would ship today. Zagg is the closest having a full body kit that ships on 3/19 I believe. The usual suspects like Bodyguardz, Ghost Armor, Slickwraps and Amazon don't have anything available yet.
posted before - shelf paper - rugged stuff take your pick of color
or window tint at walmart....
I've used packing tape on the faces of my dive watches. Works great. If it's just temporary...that could be one way to go.
I have a piece of CF cut for the back of mine using the 3M Di-noc carbon fiber I have in my storage. I buy it by the yard at metrorestyleing.com - exact same stuff as icarbons....I use it for boat, car and other trim pieces....works great- I'll just cut it to protect the back and not wrap around....
I preordered mine from http://www.bestskinsever.com/the-new-ipad-3-skin. Was really happy with their ipad 2 skin as it wrapped around the corners nicely. All they're saying is is it ships as early as friday, I'm assuming so they can make sure everything fits. I just had the back skin from them and just used the smart cover to protect the front and there wasn't a scratch on it.
the reviews coming in are saying the new iPad fits into the iPad 2 cases. Im pretty sure a sticker going over the back will fit.
Do you know if they leave ANY residual adhesive on the back when removed? Or does it look just like brand new?
Thanks!
Has anyone had any owner experience with ArmorSuit?
Amazon ArmorSuit $17.95
I've had experiences with both Zagg Invisible Shield and Bodyguardz. And I prefer Bodyguardz more over than Zagg. Zagg feels too rubbery compared to Bodyguardz.
Im looking to get ArmorSuit vs Bodyguards because it comes with a Home Button cover as well.
So. Anybody? Do you have any experiences with ArmorSuit?

Nope, no residue whatsoever. I removed it before I sold it because the corners were kinda beat up (but the actual corners were perfect). It took a while to take off though as it didn't want to come off. But no issues with tearing. There may have been the slightest bit of residue but it came off when I went over it with a slightly damp cloth.
No major skin company would make something that leaves residue....otherwise they'd be outta biz fast....
I'm waiting for Griffin to release the Reveal shell for the new iPad. I had it on my 2 and it's great...For now, my newbie is living in a Griffin leather folio case, which I had left over from my 2. It fits nearly 100% so no worries on scratches until the rear shell is released in the UK.
Confirmation: the HyperShield *does* fit the new iPad (3rd generation).
The company updated their website to say so.
I ordered a navy blue one the day they updated the banner on their website (a few days after the new iPad went on sale); and since I had a light gray HyperShield that I sold along with my iPad 2, I can confirm that the HyperShield for the new iPad is the EXACT same one that fits the iPad 2.
It fits the newest iPad perfectly. It's a little tight the first time you apply it, but that's a good thing. I'm using it now.
Am a big fan of the product...recommended. And it's cheap ($9.99 US).
