Review: HyperShield for iPad 2 – Protection for the Back of the Pad
June 29, 2011
A week or so ago I saw an ad within my gmail account for the HyperShield by Sanho. It looked great it had some glowing reviews, like “The iPad 2 Back Cover Apple Forgot” by AppAdvice. The pictures looked great and I so desperately needed to protect the back of my iPad, it already has several scratches, so I went ahead and bought one to match my Blue Apple Smartcover
I was very excited when a few days later I received my hypershield blue, when I opened it I was very disappointed. The blue of the HyperShield DOES NOT match the blue of the Smartcover at all! It’s not even close.
I immediately contacted customer service and they were more than accommodating offering me a replacement of a different color (clear or black). I wanted the clear in the first place to show off the Apple engraving but opted for the blue for matching purposes and boy did I make the wrong choice.
Customer service mentioned they used the same color code as the smartcover but as they also pointed out, the cover and shield are made from different materials so the end product is different. Ummmm, DUH!! They should have known this in beforehand and made the color correction before bringing these to market.
I can only assume this issue is the same across the board. All the smartcover colors will not match the shields as they are portrayed on their website. I foresee more complaints such as mine in the near future.
The one BIG issue I have with all this is the fact that they doctored the photos to look like they indeed where a match. The gallery above shows two of their images followed by my own taken at my desk.
In the end if you want great protection for the back of your iPad 2 the hypershield is great but only if you don’t care to have matching colors. As customer service suggested, get it in Black or Clear. If you do care for matching colors go elsewhere, that’s if there is somewhere else to get them.
