We got one or two of these (Gumdrop) for the iPad mini soon after release. They did pretty well, fit was fine and they lasted until now. But the emails! Had to unsubscribe from their list since they sent too many and all drivel.The CEO in the article readily admits that he has no confirmation of the product to be released. He is working on second-hand supply chain information, which is about 1 step away from manufacturing a case based on the images on rumor sites. I would not get too caught up on this.
Sorry but what consumer will wanna buy a case that was manufactured based on rumors? Even if the shape/size is accurate, this is a slippery slope as the company CANNOT say it was product-tested.
I need the Targus rotating case ready for next Friday
Top-shelf cases like Speck and such don't design on a hunch...
