I just checked this morning on my order for the case from the Obostore, and it shows as "shipped" already. I agree about the brown with the white iPad, that's why I ordered this color.

They actually seem like a great seller to deal with; there was a mistake on my checkout page through paypal, my shopping cart on their website kept showing up as "empty", forcing me to repeat the process twice. The end result, upon receiving my confirmation email, was that an order had been placed for 3 covers. Yikes! However, I contacted them and they quickly corrected it, no problem at all.[/QUOTE
Amazing how they can ship out a case that finishes production a week later simply amazing. Good thing they don't supply tracking numbers might just tell you something different.

So sick of waiting too. I have an iLuv folio but it stinks, picked up a SmartCover at Walmart and stow it in a sleeve I had from my first iPad. Need my Yoobao now :)

The other concern I would have is the voided warranty since they are not an authorized agent and the cheaper price ending up more since if you do wind up having an issue you would
A.have to send it back to China to replace
B.contact Yoobao to see if they would honor the warranty
C. Pay a tad bit more to purchase from an authorized seller here in the states that could make the replacement for you thus saving you $40+ in shipping if you do have an issue, not to mention a month plus in shipping time
Ill wait for C = peace of mind since I see them listed now for pre sale by US sellers that will have mine in hand next week, not 18 20 business days, I love to support American business anyways

I hear you; the main reason I actually ordered from the OboStore was that I thought (silly me) i would receive the case sooner; also, they were the only site that showed the exact case I want. I console myself with the fact that I did the exact same thing last year - ordering the original Yoobao case directly from China, and it really did turn out well, it's lasted incredibly well. I do think the Yoobao product is generally a very high standard, so I am not too concerned with having to return it.

Funny how that works, you ordered yours from China and I pre ordered mine from a us seller ill have mine on the 31st and you'll get yours in about 3 weeks. On top of supporting the US economy, Obo dude needs to rearrange his spelling. To Boo lmao

Hi everyone, I'm new here. Thanks for all the great information. has anyone seen or heard any information with respect to Yoobao coming out with an iPad 2 version of this model:

http://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Leath...1_fkmr2_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1300801207&sr=8-3-fkmr2

These are in design phase now and once again according to the bird that flew past me last night they should be out end of April early may. But if that bird ever flies past me again with an update ill be sure to pass it along. He also said that the red yoobaos are still in production and should be finish early next week so just the black and brown for now.

This looks like a perfect substitute for Apple's original case, love the design and form factor.

3 colors?

Yeah, Yoobao always had a problem with brown. Their first brown was more of an orangy brown.

Do they have 3 colors?:eek:

Hi justanfyi, thanks for repeating your answer. I didn't realize I was talking about the same model you had previously described.

May I pm you as well for your contact for the other model?
