use sellotape to fix,

one piece to lift your screen protector at the corner closest to the bubble, another piece to lift the piece of dust that is causing the bubble

Simples

Made it worse! Got it on fine now anyway, used another.

Odd, that is the one I mentioned above and doesn't fit my iPad 3 at all, no matter how much I force it!

wierd - mine fits exactly - took a bit of force to get the last corner in but it fits perfectly. I'm glad it needed that bit of force tbh though as it means the cover won't just 'pop off'. oh and sleep and wake works perfectly so its defo a new ipad case...

i got mine to fit eventually, but the 'smart' cover managed to sleep/wake the iPad when it's folded round the back too - must be some strong magnets

I got the Griffin IntelliCase which is for the iPad 2 but it works and fits perfectly with my new iPad. I had an iPad 1 for which I had the official cover and I wanted something similar and it seems perfect.

I'm holding out for the updated Speck PixelSkin HD Wrap which should be available in the next few weeks according to Speck Products twitter.

PixelSkin HD iPad2 version

Lol yeah I have the same problem

Get around it easily enough though by folding the smart cover in half before folding it round to the back

I can't complain though at this price!

I quite like the look of the STM Grip case.

I am using the dodocase I got for the ipad 2.. it fits so well. I hope that someone in the UK releases cases like these.. It is by far the best case I've come across sturdy and secure and looks nice too.

Really happy with my faux carbon fibre case from the rainforest, even came with a free stylus/pen hybrid. Awesome

What is it call? The case, not the store. Lol

2nd attempt at putting screen protector on =( a couple of small dust bubbles at the top and left side -- I could deal with this. But around the home button there is just to many, even with the screen on it looks stupid.

Waste of £15 and like 30 minutes =/

EDIT: MediaDevil sending me out another 2 for free =D Great CS

I couldn't get the MediaDevil right either so returned mine have ordered another Moshi iVisor this time, had good success with it last time but thought I'd try something different for this iPad!

Sounds like the one I went for in the end.

Is it alright?

Any tips on how to get it to fit? I simply can't get my iPad to fit into one.. I see one of the sellers feedback talks about using a hairdryer on it!!

toasteh · 30 Mar 2012 at 19:26

be patient and push hard

Rooky007 · 30 Mar 2012 at 19:30

Once it's on it hard get off I believe so not bothered about getting one

Unlight · 30 Mar 2012 at 20:32

No amount of pushing will work.. guess its just not happening!

Zagg invisible shield on the back and a foofbag for when it's not in use.

How much did you pay for your Zagg?

Stinky · 30 Mar 2012 at 21:51

I think the only was you can get the iPad 3 specific revision is via their website and worked out about £35 inc airmail. Completely ridiculous prices but I paid the premium knowing that it's easy to install and will last the iPads lifetime. Foofbag only cost £19 delivered from Australia!
