Miss the thickness and ugly back of your old iPad 1? Then we have good news. By simply adding Apple's Smart Cover to the front, and Aviiq's Smart Case to the back, you can inch a little bit closer to the classic, retro, old-school 13.4mm of the original iPad.
I kid, but I also think that it kind of misses the point of the slimline iPad 2 to swaddle it in cases and covers. If you simply must keep your iPad scratch-free, despite the fact that you'll never actually see it's blemish-free body, then you can snap on one of Aviiq's candy-colored shells.
These have a gray plastic rim and an anodized aluminum backplate, and come in the same colors as Apple's Smart Cover. They'll add a modest 1.5mm to the thickness, and come with a two-year warranty, which is precisely one more year than you'll need, as your beautiful, skinny art object will look as ugly as a lump of chum when Apple debuts the svelte iPad 3 next year, whereupon you'll be obliged to “upgrade” again.
The Smart Case is $50, and is available for pre-order right now.
