My original invisibleSHIELD for the (first) iPad review has been my most grrr’d/scorned review by far. Folks disliked ZAGG‘s protective film for a multitude of reasons.

The one thing I don’t like about Apple’s Smart Cover for the iPad is that the magnets in the hinge sometimes let go of the iPad. One of the things I don’t like about most folio style cases is the frame that completely obscures the bezel of my iPad. Not only does the frame obscure
