iPad 3/4 cover/case deals - Zoogue smart cover back $7 shipped, Marware Microshell Folio Case $20+shipping

I did some research to find good slim cases for the new iPad I am expecting from the earlier Shoprite deal, and found these two good (but different) deals.

1. Zoogue smart cover $3 sale + $4 shipping

This is for use with Apple smart cover (or one of its knockoffs). It is a case that protects the back and sides while the smart cover can be used along with it for the front.

2. Marware Microshell folio $20+shipping at Adorama ($25-$40+ elsewhere)

This is an all-in-one smart cover and case for back and sides that does the same as the combination above but cheaper than buying the Apple smart cover. An advantage is that the front cover is attached to the case so no possibility of coming off like the Apple smart over which is just held by magnets.

There are many other options for less or more protection depending on your needs. I found these the best compromises of the lot for looks, protection and weight at a good price.

I bought the Marware.
