Hi all,

I was wondering if there is a case/ back cover only for the iPad Air. I mean something like this (which is for the iPad 4 and before): http://store.apple.com/uk/product/H...e=3b&fs=s=newest&f=hardplastic&fh=35cb%2B2cfb

Thanks in advance.

Edit: Another question

I am sure a lot of you have the Space Grey version of the iPad Air. Have you experienced any scratches etc. on it in your use? In other words, is it more easily scratched than the regular silver version? Lastly, how do you protect the back of the iPad Air? Thanks again.

For goodness sake don't waste that much money on a back cover. Go to amazon.com and search for "ipad air case". There are many just like the belkin linked above and at a much lower price. I got one for about $5 with free shipping.

Try something like this http://www.amazon.com/Besdata-Magne...qid=1392143336&sr=8-17&keywords=Ipad+air+case

Any case in general you will be overpaying, best bet is to go online and find something. Better yet go to the store and find what you like, then buy online.

Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for!

Their great, i use one with the smart cover, better quality than the cheap crap the cheap skates are pushing in this thread. You get what you pay for.

I've used the Caudabe Shell for some time, both on my new iPad Air (and my wife's) and on my older iPads. It's not that different than the Belkin, but I find that the matte transparent coating feels a lot better on the Caudabe than on the Belkin. Certainly better than the plain clear glossy ones that are fingerprint and scratch magnets.

Not a bad price for $15: http://www.caudabe.com/collections/ipad-air-accessories/products/the-shell-air
 
Can you see light scratches on the clear cover?? Is it cloudy? could you put up a pic possibly?

thanks!

Unfortunately, I don't have the clear one. Mine is the green one and it is more of a matte/cloudy finish. Have not seen any scratches on mine at this point.
