Product Description

Apple's Smart Cover is great. It protects your screen and allows you to stand your iPad 2 up for typing and viewing. It's very useful. But the one thing that the Smart Cover doesn't do is protect the back of your iPad 2 from scratches and dings and daily usage. This is where Speck's SmartShell comes in. If you're using Apple's Smart Cover for the front of your iPad 2, Speck's SmartShell has got your back. This lightweight, ultra-thin hard case covers the back of your tablet, and coordinates seamlessly with your Smart Cover for complete, streamlined protection. Plus it has a soft-touch finish to give you a secure, comfortable grip! Smart Cover sold separately! There is even a spot that coordinates with the Smart Cover's magnet that will keep the Smart Cover attached and out of the way while the iPad 2 is in use. Founded in 2001, (with cases for the original iPod and the iSport, an iPod fanny pack with blinking lights) Speck has grown to become a worldwide leader in cases and bags for iPhone, MacBook, BlackBerry, iPad and tons of other personal electronic devices. But they're not a monolithic corporate entity: they're gadget geeks. Speck makes the sort of fun, functional, stylish cases that they'd want protecting their own gear-or, for that matter, their kids' and grandparents' gear.

I really like this cover, but do not be misled by the product pictures like I was. I was expecting the front that turns into the stand to come with this since it was in all of the pictures. I probably would not have purchased this if I had known it was only the back half. But now that I have it and have also purchased the front (Apple® iPad 2TM Smart Cover - Orange (MC945LL/A)), I am really glad that I have it. It's just grippy enough to make the iPad easier to hang onto. It fits perfectly and should be a good foil to my clumsiness.

I purchased the navy Apple SmartCover when I got my iPad2 but wasn't crazy about the "naked" back. The SmartShell was the answer I was waiting for, it's thin, tough and in the sheer orange color it's easy to find my iPad in the crowd of my family's iPads. I love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars So far, so good., October 17, 2011

This item is great! I got a clear plastic cover from Best Buy (I believe the brand was Belkin) and it cracked on the bottom on the second day so I returned it. Since I love the color orange and have an orange smart cover I decided to try this one out. The color doesn't exactly match the smart cover color but it's close and not so much of a difference that it looks bad. It clicks into place very easily (unlike the clear one I had), it feels good, goes perfect with the smart cover and is easy to take off as well. Really recommend this.
