have not, but it does look like the speck which I have. I think I am done with cases for this one, unless you get it and tell me it is the just too good to pass up!
I bought the Tucano Magico yesterday in a store here in Switzerland. The Switcheasy Coverbuddy was next to it, so I could compare.
The Tucano was *slightly* thicker (but maybe that's just imagination), but has a much better grip. The Switcheasy Coverbuddy looks a tiny bit cooler IMO (esp the part that covers the speakers), but it's almost as slippery as the naked iPad. Dropping that thing was my biggest concern, so I went for the Tucano. Once I had it in my hands, it was a no-brainer. I got the black one which looks great with the red smartcover. Really nice.
edit: the Tucano is NOT bulky at all !!
ps: this is my first post here; up to now I was only reading, thanks to you guys I got a better understanding of what to look out for - thanks much!!
edit2: changed to the correct name of the skin I compared the Tucano to: Switcheasy Coverbuddy

I just ordered the Tucano MAGICO (black eco-leather) and the Tucano CORNICE (black eco-leather) direct from tucanousa.com 2 days ago. It will be interesting to compare them to the Melkco Slimme and the SGP Griff cases which I have already had. It shipped already and is expected to get to me on Wednesday (fedex).

I really like the look of the Cornice model, I just wish it did not cover so much of the bezel. I have the white iPad, and hate to hide it. Please post pictures when you receive it; the case is gorgeous!
I am debating on refusing the order and ordering from macmall. They don't have either of them in yet but their prices with free shipping for both is around $72 vs the $113.45 i paid going direct to tucano. Even if I get deducted for shipping from tucano I would still save around $32. I will probably just bite the bullet and accept the sooner delivery.
Yikes! That's a big price difference. Considering how long you will have the cases, perhaps a wait of a few more days might be worth it.
Just sayin'......
Macmall said they think it will be weeks before they get inventory. All other places seem to be selling it for much more than macmall (pre orders also) so I will just accept it. I have spent so much on cases that that amount probably won't even be visible on an my budget . Maybe that should be a .... .

So RocknRose did Tucano say when all colors might be available for ordering? All I see now is lt blue, black and grey.
Sorry, but the flap/strap kind of ruins it. It'll flop around when you flip back the cover, scratch the screen or just get in the way.
