You could always use duct tape to cover the back.

I like the idea of the back cover by Marware, but don't want black. If anyone else sees an option like this with different colors available, please let me know. Thanks!

I just ordered the back-only skin from bestskinsever.com. I am very careful with my iPad and want to carry it more often in my purse, so I am looking for the least amount of weight. Hopefully this skin, along with my smart cover, will do the trick. I am not worried about drop protection, just scratches. For any trip, I have the Reiko faux leather sleeve that will hold the iPad2 and smart cover. I did see some cute netbook sleeves that would work at TJ Maxx last night for $9.99. But I should be good for now!

I was looking at the same thing from case-mate. This is $8 cheaper. Let us know how it fits on the iPad.

I'm also concerned with weight. Most of my purses will accommodate my iPad, but I don't want to add too much weight or bulk.

I bought a Smart Cover for my iPad and have a Gelaskin on the back of it (not sure if I'll put the skin on the front -- loving the white front on mine).  Gelaskins announced that the skin doesn't interfere with the magnets in the Smart Cover, and it doesn't at all.  And the skin is very durable, and I think a bit higher quality than DecalGirl (I've had both).

I have been looking at skins for mine in case I decide to skin it. I have another week or so before I get it. I also bought the white, so I'm glad to hear that you like it. I think I'll wait until I get it before making a decision on what to put on the back.

After a lot of research I decided to go with a skin on the back from bestskinsever.com.

Here's another option that Padgadget just wrote about -- it's a Smart Cover "Enhancer" that covers the back of the iPad, but it's a snap-on cover instead of a skin: http://www.padgadget.com/2011/03/28/ipad-2-accessory-xgear-releases-the-smart-cover-enhancer/.

I like this. You can get in clear which I like.

A snap-on back case is exactly what i want! But $35 seems high. But that is just my opinion. I'm hoping as time passes more will come out and be cheaper! Will use the skin until then.

Well, my back skin arrived this week and i applied it last night.  It was a debacle but that may just be my fault. In the end it was a bit stretched out on top and I had to cut it. So it is definitely not perfect but it will do until I can find a snap on back cover I like.

I have a black smart cover with a decalgirl skin on the back. The skin looks beautiful, protects the back and adds no weight.

Has anyone ordered this? I'm having a hard time deciding what to get for the back. I want this or the clear skin.

This one by Enki (http://www.enkigear.com/) looks interesting to me; seems that it will protect and still keep the slim profile.
Also able to be used in conjunction with the Smart Cover.
I'm hoping the pink will be a similar pink to the Apple cover.

Maybe I'm a bit unconventional, but I just put my Ipad on a mousepad whenever I lay it down

I HIGHLY recommend these skins... I use them on my iPhone. Great value, and amazing service!!! And they look awesome on the iPhone so I imagine they would look awesome on the iPad as well! Let me know and I can take pics of mine!
