I guess this topic fall under here since there no tablet thread. So any ipad 3 user out there? Care to share casing for the new ipad. I can`t believe casing can he so expensive 299 for smartcover from apple ? you kidding me ? that like 25% of my ipad value Am looking at a smartcover + backcover combo, but they are all too pricey. Even a screen protector could cost you rm100 Any alternative, i looking online to purchase now...
To be honest, you don't really need a screen protector. The screen is pretty tough by itself. If you're on a budget for the case, just shop online! A lot of those China replicas works just as fine, albeit a bit lesser in quality and build. But if you are willing to spend, I'm using the iPad 2 version of this case: BOOKSTAND3 Macally Peripherals A bit pricey but the build quality is awesome. I used to have this case too for my iPad 2 before giving it to my dad. It's pretty awesome too, nice protection all around, but the extra weight is something you'd want to think about. https://www.speckproducts.com/tablet-ipad-cases/the-new-ipad/pixelskin-hd-wrap-for-ipad.html I've heard of good reviews of this Incase one and was actually looking for it before I bought the Macally one.

I just bought the "new" iPad (or iPad 3 to the rest of us!) for my mother. I agree with Ken - you don't need a screen protector for the iPad. Its Gorilla Glass screen is really tough. It also has a oleophobic coating so it's easy to wipe off oily fingerprints. If you put a screen protector over it, you will lose that ability. I still haven't decided on the case yet.. Hmm...
I would only use a screen protector on a phone, especially when they have to withstand keys and coins scratches from our pocket (handbag for the ladies). For iPad, a good case would be a good idea, especially one that allows it to stand.
i don't even use a screen protector for my iPhone 4s. Just a case that i'm even contemplating removing.
That's because I'm not as rich... haha... I'm glad I use screen protectors. Lately, I've been cycling a lot, and the only reasonable place for me to keep the phone is in my bike pouch. And the things I keep in there are not very phone friendly (portable bike tool set, portable pump). The screen protector did keep the screen from getting scratched somewhat, and I've already changed a screen protector recently, and it only cost me like RM5 for 3 pieces from ebay. That's like nothing.
Bought online from china. Hope everything is okie. Belkin Tri-Fold Folio with Stand for The new iPad and iPad 2 F8N758 around total rm80.
It's crazy, everything is so much cheaper outside of Malaysia. Now I don't even bother shopping now. ebay is my best friend! I bought a phone casing for just RM12 with free shipping to my doorstep. I probably have to pay twice that and that doesn't include petrol and parking fees.
late reply. item received and it good bought from seller in china thru tabao.com. also bought a SP for about rm20. Saw selling rm80 at senq.
Are screen protectors really necessary with the iPad? I never used one with my original iPad and it still doesn't have a scratch on it.
try shopping on amazon if you are looking for something relatively cheap, i have tried phone covers from there and the quality is not bad, I don't have any experience with ipad cases though
