Apple Thoughts - News & Reviews on all things Apple

"iSkin has the iPod and iPhone down. We pretty much know that by now, but occasionally need to be reminded with products such as the Revo4 for iPhone 4. But how about the iPad? That's a lot of silicone, after all, making it harder to be so precise. But iPad users need not fret; iSkin has nailed it again."

These are on the upper end for prices I'm willing to pay for covers ($49.95 USD), but it does seem to offer pretty good protection for your iPad, plus gives you many options for colors. And it appears they have done some thinking for screen protection, since it has a slightly raised bezel on the front. What this means is you can set your iPad down face first on a table or counter and the screen won't actually make contact.

"iSkin has posted their Ultimate Back-to-School contest on their website today, where one person could win an awesome prize package worth $2,500. Entries will be accepted till 11:59 PM EST on September 15, 2009."  

The contest has started, so if you live in Canada or the Continental US, head over to their contest site to get all the details and to enter. The grand prize winner will receive quite a bundle of gifts including a MacBook, an iPod Touch and a Mighty Mouse, along with a variety of iSkin covers. They also will be giving out a $50.00 USD iSkin gift card to 10 lucky 2nd place winners. As a bonus, anyone entering will get 50 free music downloads from emusic.
