I think it will be a while before I do another one. It took me forever to settle on the style for this one, haha.
Got a tip for us?

Have you thought about a pocket for paper documents on the inside with possibly slots for business cards? I think it would also be cool if it had magnets like the smartcover to keep it closed and possibly wake it
What is the overall weight of your case and the additional weight that it adds? Now that you have designed and created your first one, have you thought about making a few for people for money?

There is a magnet that will do the sleep wake function. maybe next time I will try to replicate a smart cover.
I hadn't really thought about pockets. I have an app that digitizes business cards so I never take physical cards. Just photos.
I haven't had a chance to weigh it, but I can tell you the dimensions.
10 x 7.75 x 0.6 inches
It is a good size and adds substantial protection.

Any one who sees the case asks me if I am going to sell any... I dont think so. I am not sure I have the time or tools to produce very many of these things. For now it will just stay a hobby.
I do have an incredible idea for a case though...but I'm not sure I could produce it.
Haha! Well I have to draw the plans up... Maybe I'll post them when they're ready.
Nice work. Here's a tutorial I stumbled across sometime ago about how to create a moleskine cover similar to the Dodocase.
Cheers.

Sell this case lol. Better than lots of the cases already on the market. People would buy it haha
Haha, it is better than a lot of cases that claim to be available but really are not.
