    protecting the the back of iPad

    I have read a couple of posts where people have used that clear contact paper that comes on a roll from stationers to protect the back of their iPads. I'm thinking of trying it myself. Have any of you done this and if you have was it easy? Does it stay on? How did you cut around the buttons? Or if you haven't tried it does this post interest you enough to give it a go?

    How would contact paper protect the iPad? I think it is just for show. I have a Skin thingy on the back of mine but the whole iPad is in a case ~ which does protect it.

    i have the smart cover on mine and a slip case but the back is bare when using it and already i have a little scratch on it,the contact paper is a clear film like a skin but its a much cheaper option,i would buy a skin for the back but can't find one.

    think I'm going to get one of those hard shell covers that are compatible with the smart cover,shame to cover up the back but there are some nice looking ones and then theres no worries.

    For some reason, not sure why, I use the Apple suede case.. It's easy to hold on to,
    but, priced a bit high really.
