Hey everyone,

I got an iPad Air the other day (First Gen), and I'm having a lot of trouble trying to find a case for it.

I got the Smart Cover in Red (with a black iPad, looks so good), but I need a back case to go with it so the back doesn't get scratched up. Every case I seem to see on the market though comes with a stupid cover built in which I don't want.

My old iPad mini had the same debacle and I got a case on trademe, but it broke shortly after so I want to avoid this if I can and get one from a store.

Anyone have any suggestions? Or seen one like this in a store somewhere?

Cheers! Any advice appreciated. :D

-Sam

You need the BookBack Skin. I've been using them on my iPads for years. Adds no bulk, gives better grip, and protects the back perfectly.

With my iPhones and iPads I've always preferred to have covers that I can toss aside when the device is in use so I bought the Hershel sleeve for mine.
