What screen protector and case will you be buying for your new ipad (3rd generation)?

Hello!
I'd like to know what types of cases people will be buying for their new ipad this coming Friday as well as what type of screen protector/body guard you'd recommend. 
I've been looking online trying to find places that would be able to ship before Friday, but I'm not sure which one to go with, there's too many options!  I'm definitely interested in a leather folio case though.
I've also been wondering what type of screen protector to put on.  I've seen the iVisor anti-glare, and I really like how it works, but seriously... anti-glare on a retina display?  I don't know... any thoughts on that or suggestions?  I'd greatly appreciate it!!
Thanks!

I had an anti-glare screen protector on my iPad 2 and it degraded the quality of the screen so much I removed it. I have a clear skin on the back, which I like. It prevents scratches to the aluminum back and provides a gripping surface to hold on to. The iPad itself was slippery so that extra grip factor helps me. I use a smart cover for the front, because I like the features it has and the quick removability when docking the iPad. I also like that it automatically sleeps and wakes the iPad thereby conserving power. I chose the polyurethane smart cover because I had heard many issues with the leather covers fading/losing color and I couldn't justify the $30.00 dollar difference in price. I dock my iPad into an iHome theater device regularly, so using a portfolio type case would be too cumbersome to deal with. I do think portfolio cases or the otter box cases provide more protection, but they add more bulk to the iPad than I care to deal with. In the end it comes down to personal preference based on your particular needs. The items I have listed and the reasons for them fit my needs, I'm sure others will have different configurations that are specific to their needs. Hope this helps,
Bob

  • What's the best cover for the new iPad (3rd generation).  I've been told by a store employee (university bookstore) that there are problems with the magnetic covers on the newest iPad. Suggestions?

    The best cover is the one that suites your needs. Try Google. There are dozens on the market.
    As for the Apple Smart Cover, it does work with the new iPad. There are a few reported issues with it, but that doesn't come close to representing the totality of folks with it.

  • Cases for the new ipad(3-generation)?

    Any cases available for the new ipad(3-generation)?

    Zagg has said they have new ones, as to other manufacturers. Whether or not you can get them exactly now or in a couple of weeks varies.
    Some iPad 2 cases will work. the new ipad is only .03 thicker than the old one. So if you have any portfolio cases they will probably fit, it just may be a bit of a tight fit. The other keys and buttons are said to be in the same place.
    the ones that have the least flexibility are snap on cases.

  • PSP Screen Protector and Cases

    Hey, just letting everyone know, I have a black 60 gb 5g. I bought the PSP screen protector and cut it to size to only cover the screen. It works great and the screen still looks great. It has been a week now and i haven't noticed any visible scratches on the black finish, only smudges that are easily wiped clean. I find this in combination with the provived case an excellent solution until cases are released.
    On that note, anyone heard of the soonest cases that are being releasted?

    are you kidding?
    the 2 pelican screen protects i bought both were visibly altering the the pic/video on my PSP, you could tell you had a screen protector on it, totally got on my nerves...
    I tried several different ones and after reading TONS of reviews i bought the Martin Fields protector (they make screen protectors for everything including ipod nano and video) and it lived up to the great reviews, it's see thru, you can't tell anything on the screen, and it's also static, with UV protection.

  • Will the orange 4g network work on iPad 3rd generation

    will the orange 4g network work on iPad 3rd generation

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

  • Mirror screen protector and case

    does anyone know a case that has a mirror front that does not need to be "glued" onto the screen (I'm very bad at applying screen protectors ;))

    A friend at work has one...they are very cheaply made and don't last...it's no wonder why they come 3 to a pack or only like 5 bucks...they are not as hardy as the other brands and they don't have the best adhesion so they are just all around not what I'd go with for a long term protector...now if you just want a look of coolness for a little while go for it

  • How do you download tones and music that you,ve purchased to your new up grade phone

    how do you downlaod tones and music that you've already purched to your new phone that you just up graded too and if you reported a problem to i tunes what do you do next.
    i've checked the itunes purchase history and before i got the new phone i backed my phone to my computer, so what do i need to do next to recover my lost itune purchases

    Purchases from iTunes should be in the iTunes library on your computer, simply connect the device and sync the content you want.
    If for some silly reason you choose to not use the device as designed, simply go to the iTunes store app on the device and download the content directly there.
    I'd strongly recommend that you take a look at the User's Guide, that will answer many of your questions about how to use the device.

  • My new iPad (3rd generation) will not remember wi-fi passwords. It is set up to ask to join networks. It remembers my password at home but forgets all others if it disconnects for more than a few minutes. Frustrating!

    My new iPad will not remember passwords.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • What if you cracked the iPhone 5c plastic case can you still trade for a new one

    So I went to my local phone company store to ask why my iPhone 5c is not charging and so I am expecting a new phone but when I send my old phone that does not charge to Apple will they accept it even though the plastic case is cracked, will I have to pay full price because there are minor damages?

    You asked this same question at:

  • Hope all you guys are enjoying your new Ipad

    cause my stupid UPS driver delivered mine to some random wrong address...
    probably some kind of planned scam...
    how does one deliver a package to a house 5 miles away with an address not even close to mine...
    UPS is a joke...
    well had to vent...
    enjoy it

    I don't want to alarm you, but it might not have been the best thing to go to them directly. If the business that signed for it isn't being honest, they could claim they gave it to you when you showed up. And they could probably describe you, so then it's your word against theirs.
    I think it's better to just leave it to UPS. It sounds like they have a record of where it was delivered, and probably who signed for it. So they'll have a pretty big incentive to make it good by replacing it, retrieving it, or refunding your money. And perhaps Monday, once the holiday weekend is over, you'll be able to get through to someone at UPS who can help.
    good luck to you,

  • Scratch on iPod Touch, even with screen guard and case?

    I recently purchased an iPod Touch and since I got it and have used a screen protector and case for it but as my guard starting to peel off, I took it of to get a replacement and I noticed a small scratch on the top black part of the screen. It is noticable to me and is annoying an so can it be repaired or replaced?
    I have look aftered it with my life, and saved up for year to buy it and so that's why I'm asking....:(

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished on for $99, $149 or $199.
    A third-party place like the following maybe less expensive. Google for more.

  • HT204053 Do you not use the same Apple ID and password as you would use for ITunes, IPhone and email?

    Having already established 2 apple ID's.  I want to change the ID listed on my iphone.  Placing the new, ID on my phone it will not accept it.
    Do you not use the same Apple ID and password as you would use for your IPHONE, EMAIL and ITUNES?

    Where/how are you trying to replace it and what happens ? You should be able to log out of the currently logged in account for the stores by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store and you should then be able to log in with a different account, and for icloud email via Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars to delete and then add an account.

  • What is the "correct"  name for the new iPad?  Is it also called the 3rd Generation?

    I have the latest iPad, purchased Mar '12.  But when I read Apple News it is referred to as the "new ipad" & somtimed the 3rd Generation.  What is the "correct name & will "SIRI" be available with this Fall latest update?  Thanks!!!

    Yes, it is somewhat confusing isn't it. Almost like, the iPad is having an identity crisis. I believe the official Apple line would be that it is the "New iPad" but I see it referred to the 3rd generation just as frequently as the new iPad.
    Siri will be available for the "new iPad/3rd Gen when iOS 6 is released this fall.

    When it gets bad enough, you will need to replace the screen.
    Your warranty covers defects in material and workmanship.
    That sounds like accidental damage -- glass does not tend to crack spontaneously.
    Check your homeowners insurance to see if there might be coverage.
