Looks like my Poetic back cover with Pencil holder just shipped--wasn't supposed to go out until the 23rd. I'm super excited because this Moko cover I got is horrible.
I'm sure it's just a person in China paid to churn out positive reviews.
In one "she" says she is a single mom and then then next day she says she bought the item for her husband
Hah. I noticed EXACTLY the same thing!
Buzz kill!
Add me to the list of folks dismayed by the lack of a back cover. The iPad Pro annoyed me that I was stuck with silicone. This is such a bad decision by Apple. The 10.5 wrapped in leather is the best case scenario for me. Does anyone have experience with Vaja? The smart grip looks like it may work with the Smart Cover or the leather case (even thought the price is insane).
Check out Piel Frama:

Their handphone covers are the bee's knees and I'm sure the tablet covers leave little to be desired as well. The MSRPs are predictably high but keeping an eye on Amazon often turns out bargains - none for the 10.5" so far, mind.
Interesting, I'm not familiar with this brand.
A search on Amazon, even for older iOS products, still shows very high prices. Any specific examples of deals on this brand you've seen from Amazon? Any chance of fakes?
Moments after posting that message I realized what I said about Amazon is probably true only in regards to the European branches; as an example, the German Amazon has the "Cinema" cover for (the older, fits the new one too) iPad Pro 12,9" for 59€ at the moment and their phone covers regularly go as low as 15€.
The quality of their stuff is really high, up there with Vaja, loads better than Noreve and solar systems apart from the likes of Tetded, PDAir or Stilgut. There are some product reviews (and "reviews") available on Youtube. Never heard of counterfeit Piel Frama.
Good info. I'm in the US, but don't mind ordering from Amazon DE, etc., assuming a good deal/discount. I'm well stocked on iPad/iPhone cases (except for 10.5) at the moment, but I'll keep a lookout for Piel Frama.
I am surprised the Otterbox Defender case version for a iPad Pro 10.5 is already out. I doubt I will get it though to replace my current temporary case sense it made my iPad Air 2 so much more heavier. Not unless I want to keep it in perfect condition.

Mine is in transit as well. Amazon didn't have Prime shipping for this! I've used Khomo cases for years and always liked the feel and quality. Expecting to get it on Saturday or Minday according to the lame USPS shipping. It's been stuck in Florida for 3 days now!
They've been quite good for me, and lately Amazon has used them for Prime shipping on Sundays as well.
Incipio's Faraday seems to have come out. I'm not sure what I think of it from their pictures. Now sure how it would look while using the ipad by hand with the case. I ordered the CTS case but I might cancel it unless I quickly find something better.

I have the case already. Looks ok, but I still prefer the Apple full case. My main problem with it is that the inner part of the back case is not rubberized. Also the inner flap material feels like very very fine sandpaper.
Also, the lightning cutout does not match the photos... it's a bit strange since the top side is fully exposed.
I'm not sure it won't scratch my iPad... which I'm getting tomorrow.
Eyeballing it, I'm guessing JETech is better... more precise speaker cutouts.

I'm planning on ordering the Contega in the light grey for a 10.5... I haven't see the equivalent Dodo case, so thanks I'll look at that. I think I would prefer the Linen to the leather. I like they designed it to be able o use the smart keyboard with it as well.Has anyone used Pad & Quill's Contega cases? I think I'd prefer that over the leather.

[doublepost=1497284531][/doublepost]Additionally, there are DodoCases to consider:

That looks really nice. I wasn't going to keep the ASK, but might just hold on to it and pair with this Contega. I have a feeling the Zagg Keyboard Case I preordered from bestbuy is still going to be a bit bulkier than I'd prefer.
I'm getting this one when available:

Seems like a lot more cases are coming out this week. Anyone have experience with Urban Armor Gear on previous iPads?
If I could find a Shell to use with the Smart Cover I'd get it for sure. So far haven't seen any good ones.
