Love that baby blue Smart Cover, but think it looks weird against the plain back of your iPad? The solution (apart from getting a grey Smart Cover, of course) is as simple as putting a matching rear end on the thing. For example, this one from AViiQ.

These little cases don’t offer much in the way of protection, but they are aluminum and color-matched to the Smart Case colors. If you’re compulsively fashion-conscious, this could save you from a number of potential faux-pas.

Doesn’t come in tan (eh) or that navy blue color (damn!), though. Oh well! Costs $50, which seems a bit much to me, but what do I know?
