Rear shield for new iPad

I had a Belkin Snap Shield for my iPad 2. Despite some of the bad reviews, it worked great for me. I sold my Snap Shield along with my iPad 2.

I saw that M.I.C. Gadget video showing the new iPad fitting shields for the iPad 2, but no idea whether the Belkin would also do that. Mine was always a very tight fit, and it wouldn't surprise me if it didn't.

The shields I've seen either don't provide protection along the bottom like the Belkin does, or they state (like the Incipio Smart feather) that it requires use of a Smart Cover. The Belkin didn't depend on anything else.

Anyone know of something similar to the Belkin that will work on the new iPad, similar protection? The Belkin isn't listing any new iPad shields.... yet.

Answering my own post: It looks like Belkin announced a bunch of cases, including the Snap Shield, for the new iPad.

I found the article on intomobile.com. I can't post it...I guess I'm still too much of a n00b.
