iPad 4 smart case or smart cover?

[quote name='aerozero']So my folks picked up an iPad 4 and asked me what kind of case/cover they should get to protect it.

I don't know anything about iPads, so I wondering if you guys had any recommendations or deals on a good case/cover for the iPad 4.

We're looking at the Apple Smart Case but it's freaking $50.

And help is great appreciated![/QUOTE]

Problem solved.
Get 2 layers of protection (for drops) with a screen protector (for scratches).
Also comes with detachable front guard for traveling that doubles as an angled stand when attached to the back.

I have it , I love it.

Hope this helps
