Belkin - Snap Shield Case for Apple® iPad® (3rd Generation) - Blue

Fits nicely and protects iPad, but did crack in corner...

The snap shield does a very good job of protecting the back of the iPad during normal use. I have no fear of putting my iPad down on any surface or even sliding it around table/desk/countertop as needed. It is not much bigger than iPad itself and does not add bulk. It also does allow access to all buttons and connector port. One thing it doesn't do is allow iPad to remain at any angle. There is no rubber of friction pad to accomplish this. iPad just slides down as a result. I don't intend to find out if this product is drop-resistant or not, but I am happy with the protection it does provide.

The case is simple and lightweight. Easy to install and clean but doesn't stand up well to travel. The sides that clip on to the iPad have a tendency to crack easily. This is the second case I've tried that has had this problem which is unfortunate because it looks solid and is so thin. I'd recommend it if you don't travel with your iPad much or as a basic cover for an iPad at home. Not recommended for airline or commuting travel.

looking for something to provide some minimal protection for my ipad. Does the trick just fine, would recommend for rough-users or for kids ipads.

Without this the Smart Cover is really not worth having. This protects the back and makes it easy to grip.

This is a nice shield protector for the back of the new iPad 4th generation if you want to use Apple's Smart Cover and no other case. This does not interfere with the Smart Cover working and protects the back of the iPad from getting scratched. Perfect for protection for incidental damage to iPad.

Like having the extra protection on the back of the iPad. Makes it more sturdy to hold. Unfortunately, its my third one in less than 3 years. They aren't made to last. First one was the best one, but very very stained. The second one cracked on the corners in less than a month. Third one made a little different, doesn't fit as snug as the first one and already stained after about a month. It's a bit overpriced at $30 but only company that makes them, I think. Hope that they come up with something different, although may be upgrading the iPad Air soon. Probably would not recommend but I still like having the added protection so I kept buying. However, this is my last one. It's a shame they can't get it right, especially for what they charge.

The cover offers great protection. My husband has dropped his iPad a couple of times and it came out without a scratch. Fits well. I like the clear over so I can see the back of my iPad. Decently priced.
