iPad 2 Back Protection

I just purchased an iPad 2 wifi 32 GB with a black leather Smart Cover. I am a little concerned with the unprotected back portion. Is anyone aware of any protective film or something that can be used to keep it from getting scratches on the metallic back?

thanks

Macbook Pro 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Mac OS X (10.6.6)

The Zagg InvisibleShield will work great for you.

I'm curious (as I don't have an iPad yet): Why should I care about scratches on the back?

Higher resale price and more stylish not to have scratches all over the back.

I should be concerned about resale value but I'm usually not . . . Style? Definitely.

Do you think something like the invisishield helps with the "slipperiness" of the back??? (I'm definitely getting accidental damage coverage. I know my tendencies.)

I don't know as I've never had a Zagg product. I'm thinking about getting the matte screen cover though.

Yeah, I'm definitely in the market for a matte screen cover. iLounge liked this one:

But it may be old news by now . . .

Had a ton of posts and a ton of "points" back in the day but they were reset to zero in one of the forum reorganizations. Then I was pretty much Forum free for a long time as other things took priority. Some Aperture and MobileMe questions got me back here. It's such a terrific resource.

Power Support doesn't have one for the iPad 2 yet, I have a matte power support screen cover on my iPad 1 and love it, I ordered a matte iPad 2 cover from amazon that wil ship on the17 th, the manufacturer name escapes me right now though it's not power support.
