I wonder if my Apple case would stretch a little to accommodate the extra 1mm of that case too.
what color did you get?

I got a black one. I like that color (or that absence of color) in general, and I don't wanna go around advertising for Apple (or anyone else). The black version isn't completely opaque, but the iPad's Apple logo is visible through it only up-close.
I also expected the case to be slick, but it turns out to have a really nice grip. I usually get silicone cases for gadgets, but this SwitchEasy case has converted me. I find silicone cases nice for grip, but the friction is sometimes annoying when stowing or removing from a pocket, a bag or such, and I could live without the grit they pick up. The SwitchEasy has neither of those drawbacks. A silicone case might offer a bit more shock absorption in case of a drop, but I'm fine with that tradeoff.
This is kinda stupid, but the case is so nice and shiny, I don't wanna hurt it. I need a case for my case!
