The new smart feather fits the new iPad perfectly, photo not clear, but you get the idea.

Ditto, and I also bought the black one with go with a black Smart Cover. It's a classy combo! I also love the feel of the feather.
 
I just received my new iridescent gray cover. I paired it with a navy blue smart cover. The package had a sticker on it and said for the new iPad or iPad 2, so I guess that this new cover will fit both.

The fit is very good, it isn't loose or too tight, I was a little concerned pre-ordering that they might not have it exactly right. I don't think they had an actual iPad 3 tp try it out on.

The sku numbers between the iPad 2 and the new iPad are different. It may be compatible but the new model does have subtle differences...
 
Pictures of the Belkin snapshield (2nd gen)/black leather smart cover. Love the combo, keeps it on the slim side. New iPad (3rd gen shown in the pics).

Thanks for posting the pics, just a couple of clarifications on the Belkin cover:

The metal stripe visible on the left side is a magnetic one? Does it lock the smart cover when open and folded back?

Does the snapshield have the same hinge-locking mechanism as the Incipio Smart Feather in order to prevent the smart cover to easily detach from the iPad?

I have pre-ordered the Incipio Smart Feather but the Belkin seems to be really close to the former and much cheaper....I could cancel my order and go for the Belkin

thanks vm

Yep, metal strip locks the smart cover when foled back... Love this feature :D

Nope, snapshield doesn't have the hinge-locking mechanism as the Incipio, but doesn't bother me.

Also, IMO the snapshield protects the top/bottom a little more than the smart feather. It covers more, but both are good. Can't go wrong with either.

The locking hinge was what steered me to the feather. But it also steers people away from it. Choices are good.
 
I got my smart feather in the mail today. Fits great...love it. The screen protector it came with is $&*# not to mention it came with 2 large creases in it :mad:
 
Got my Smart Feather in the mail today as well. It feels great to the touch and looks sharp (I got the black version).

I haven't put on the screen protector yet. Haven't decided on that.
 
Ok after analyzing my smart feather the camera seems to be a hair off.... but the rest of the fit is good

Quick question, will the smart feathers work with a skin installed such as a best skins ever? My first guess is it may not, but it thought I'd ask instead of assuming....

Thanks in advance!

Hmmm...mine isn't nearly that off center. It's shifted a tiny bit to the upper left. But overall I'm pretty happy with this for a slim case.

I'm pretty sure skins wont work with it
 
I'm pretty sure also, but asking if anyone can confirm having tried it and the results. I'm looking for actual experience vs what we think will/won't work.

Thanks.

I have a skinit skin on mine with the SF case...no issues. In fact, it works out great because it protects most of the areas the case does not.
 
If anyone's still looking for one, I just ordered a navy smart feather from Amazon for $26 shipped. Still a few available, and cheaper than direct.
 
I would like to see pics of the iridescent gray. I'm planning on getting the translucent mercury but they're taking forever to make them available. Thanks.
 
I got my 3rd gen smart feather today much earlier then I expected since I got the 5-7 day free shipping but it got here in 1 day.

Here you go. It's a little darker than what I would have liked, but I had already bought a navy smart cover and didn't think the black would look as good with it.
