If your Smart Cover just isn’t enough anymore or you can’t handle worrying about scratching up the back of your iPad2, then ZAGG can help out. Their LEATHERskin case is a tablet skin that applies to the back of your tablet and is color-matched to Apple’s Smart Cover. The result is some welcomed protection in a classy leather style.

Pros

  • Custom fit to iPad2
  • Great color match to Smartcover
  • Long lasting leather

Cons

  • Sticky skin application
  • No impact protection
  • Difficult to remove

Overview

I love Apple’s Smart Cover but don’t like that the back of my iPad 2 is always exposed. If you’re like me, then Zagg’s LEATHERskin can answer your problem. Made from long-lasting leather , this slim and elegant skin applies to the back of the Apple tablet in a simple 3-step process. What’s best is that Zagg has matched the color of the LEATHERskin to the colors of the Smart Cover . This keeps your iPad2 style fully intact without adding any distracting features. The skin also provides extra protection and some much-needed grip along the back. Plus, the case has perfect cutouts for the Ipad2’s external ports (headphone, speaker grill, rear camera), but you have to carefully line them up when you apply the skin.

RatingDescription
4.5Design: Amazing
The LEATHERskin gives the iPad2 an elegant leather accent making it look sharp and sleek, with or without the Smartcover.
3.5Functionality: Good
The skin’s 3-step process of applying it to the iPad2 sounds scarier than it is, just make sure to follow the directions and match it up carefully with the external ports!
5.0Quality: Masterpiece
You can’t go wrong with leather – it feels great and looks fantastic with Apple’s black and silver design.
3.5Protection: Good
With the LEATHERskin, you get much needed protection along the back of your iPad2—this is especially important if you use a Smart Cover. The skin safeguards against scratches and dings, but not much against impact.
3.5Value: Good
The price puts case in a higher range compared with other skins. But the color matching and leather make it worth it. Plus, the LEATHERskin has a 45-day guarantee policy (the clear skins have a lifetime warranty). While this may seem like a funny amount of time, it just goes to show you that when you get this leather skin, it will last a long time.
4.0Overall: Great

If you’re a Smartcover owner, then this is a great addition to your iPad2 accessories. The LEATHERskin gives you extra style, protection on the back of your tablet all done up in long-lasting leather.

"Thin, but durable"

on 2012 Jul, 26 by Victor Bowman
Is it a skin, is it a back cover? Well, you decide. I think it’s a bit of both, and that’s why I bought it. Now my tablet is safe from scratches and bumps all thanks to the high-quality leather back cover. The choice of colors available matches Apple Smart Covers and I was able to find just the one I needed.
