Quick Take Review<\/h2>\n

Don\u2019t let the pink color of our sample fool you, this Apple iPad accessory is one serious piece of protective gear. And with many more of us trekking into the outdoors with these devices \u2013 as navigation tools, repositories for manuals, paperback novels, music, and much more \u2013 protection is exactly what we need.<\/p>\n

The SmartCoat X from Odoyo is a form-fitting back case manufactured from tough polycarbonate. The rubberized texture of the polycarbonate feels fantastic in the hand and keeps the iPad from slipping and sliding. Its innovative design works in conjunction with the Apple Smart Cover. In fact, the SmartCoat locks the magnetic hinges of that accessory in place ensuring that it will never accidentally unhook from the iPad. Well done.<\/p>\n

Attaching the SmartCoat X to the iPad was simple. Just take it out of the package and follow the illustrated instructions. If using the Smart Cover, first drop the small hinge-locking panel in place. Then snap the Smart Coast on the back. It took a little force to get the final corner to clip on, but other than that, it was easy.<\/p>\n

\nWeight: 3.625 oz
\nMaterial: Polycarbonate<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

At just over 3.5 ounces, the SmartCoat X adds little weight to the iPad and surprisingly little bulk. However, the SmartCoat X adds huge amounts of confidence when taking the iPad outdoors. We wouldn\u2019t go anywhere without it now.<\/p>\n
