I love my black one. I went back to buy a clear and they are out od stock. I wish I'd bought the clear when I had the chance.
 
What color smart cover will work best with the Black CoverBuddy?
I was thinking black, but the cream might be interesting. Just curious what you guys have.
 
I'm torn between this and the enki genius. I have the iCarbons front and back but want just a touch more protection. I want a clear cover to show off the carbon.
 
Got mine today...Ordered it on Saturday. I must say it is great, quality is top notch. It is exactly what I wanted, adds very little weight and bulk to my IPad. This is my 3rd case and I finally got what I wanted. Fits perfectly, feels and looks very high quality. The cut-outs are in the perfect positions.....I also love the exterior texture of the case, has a grippy feel to it.....:D

I also got mine today and have to say you're right on. Fantastic case. Up until now I've had just a phantom skinz skin on the back and while I have loved the slim form factor, I've always felt I had to baby it a little too much. So, when two of the corners started to lift, I looked into a thin case that was smart cover compatible. I was going to get the "full protection" version of the belkin snap shield but couldn't find it, so I went with the cover buddy (gray) when I saw it was in stock. No regrets at this point - it's the perfect compromise for me. :D

PS It fits fine over the phantom skinz (matte)
 
Received my Black Coverbuddy this morning, most impressed with speed of delivery from International Store to UK ordered Tuesday, was sent on Wednesday from HK, received today. Quality excellent, matches with my Poly Black Smartcover pefectly. :)
 
Ordered a clear one at the beginning of the week, still nothing from switcheasy. About how long did everyone have to wait to get any response from them? It's rather frustrating.

I've ordered one today from the international store so I'll let you know if/when they get in touch.

Poly Black Smart Cover? I wish...
 
Just ordered one on grey, which says in stock, so let's see. I ordered a Canvas in black and had good luck with the process, maybe I'll get lucky again.
 
I use a Yoobao leather folio and love it but when using my smart cover option, I want a grippy back case. My main need, Rubbery! Grip! It looks like the CoverBuddy is, but I have 2 ebay back cases now that were all described as textured and grippy and they were NOT. One had a texture for sure, but it was like teflon pan texture and slippery.

I want a case that I can hold the iPad flat against my palm almost vertically and it will stick! I want a lot of grip. Is this the back case for me? It looks like it in the pics. I just hate to pile up one more case that's not grippy enough. I'd want the black, I see the clear ones are not coated. thanks smart Buddies!
 
I got mine and love it. It is rubberized for grip and super thin so as not to detract from the iPad form factor. Also works perfect with my Smart Cover. My disappointment is that I chose grey. Too light for my white iPad and red Smart Cover. Would def recommend for those who don't want a bulky cover.

I received the blue today, matches the smart cover perfect. A little thicker than the belkin, but not by much. I also like the texture on the switcheasy better than the belkin. Would recommend.
 
Belkin vs. Switcheasy?

Can you tell me positive/negatives of the Belkin cover and the Switcheasy? You have both? Do you like both of them? Did either one crack when you tried to take it off? If anyone has both, please let know which you prefer and why. I am trying to decide which one I want to get. Thanks!
 
I got an email from Switcheasy this morning saying the black was out of stock and that my order has been put on hold, unless I would prefer the clear or the pink one.
I've emailed back to see when they are expecting the black ones in again.

EDIT- They have now replied saying they don't know when more stock will be in.

So now back to waiting. no further info from them. :(
 
I placed order for black and clear CoverBuddy(ies). Ordered last week. Black has arrived. Clear is on backorder - no ETA.
 
Can someone post pictures of the edges of the coverbuddy?

Just want a close up of how much of the lip shows around the screen.

Thanks!
