The minimalist hard shell NuGuard Clear case covers the corners and the back of the iPad, but leaves all the ports available. If you want to protect your iPad from bumps and scratches without adding to the size, weight, or appearance of the iPad, this is a good case for you.

The clear version has an unexpected feature - you can take some decorative paper, and cut it to match the size of your iPad, and end up with a uniquely decorated iPad. Alternatively, you can probably order a skin to adhere to the case. If you prefer color, you can also order this case in red and black. When you travel, you should pair the NuGuard with a bag-style case, because it adds almost nothing to the size of the iPad.
