Why not go with a clear back covering?

Also what color Apple covering do you have? I never had one on my iPad because I recalled how my iPod was scratched with one on. The dirt got trapped and the back was scratched. So I went with a nice Timbuk2 sleeve. an Apple front cover , and nothing on back. I will most likely do the same when I get an iPad Pro.

Apple is definitely leaving money on the table by not,

Same with 12.9 gen 2 (even though i use gen 1 case with its compromise of flash blocked pretty much, and a mic blocked which doesnt matter to me)

..but as ive said before, probably not since it ensures additional sales of replacement iPad costs when people break theirs in a drop or accident

Is the inside silicone as well? Or just the outside with a hard plastic interior? I have been thinking about getting this one but I’m worried about scratches if the interior of the back cover isn’t either silicone or microfiber lined.

The inside material is the same as the outside. I’ve had one on an Air 2 and it doesn’t scratch the body of the iPad. It’s kind of a pain to remove the cover though.

Why is it a pain? Is it just really tight?

It is the silicon inside (no microfiber) - I have had it on my iPad for a few months no and just took it off and it looks perfect still. It is a snug fit and I don't believe anything could get between the iPad and case to scratch it really. Just my opinion though :)
