Maroo Cases Question and Answer Thread: (Maroo has great customer service!)

the corners are large and can take any skin - I'm running an icarbon back and it fits fine..
I got my shipping notice for my replacement case, and to my delight it was already in my mailbox lol. At first I thought they accidentally sent me my old tracking number so I emailed them. I got a response within minutes! Great customer service, and a great surprise for me today 🙂
I don't have a skin on the back, but I did keep some of the factory plastic wrap after trimming it a bit. Fits absolutely perfect with a splash masque anti-glare screen protector.
Anybody use the Maroo cases with a power support screen protector? I have the PS crystal on mine and the maroo bumpers cause two of the corners to "bubble up". Any suggestions on how to loosen up the bumpers a bit?
Amazon has some in stock (Toki) that Maroo has on back order.
I assume the Amazon cases are the original style rather than the updated one?

You guys are GREAT should be good ordering one then, seriously thanks a lot guys it's frustrating when using a body skin and not knowing wether or not a case will fit.
Salute !!🙂
Just wanted to say thanks Maroo...especially for the free shipping and not charging some kind of fee just because I am US Military and have an APO address because I am also stationed overseas! An APO address is just like a normal USA address...but with most companies they either don't offer a shipping option or want an extra "fee" for doing nothing out of the ordinary. More companies should follow your example Maroo! Can't wait to get the "MOKO"!
They went out of stock then disappeared within 24 hours of each other, so possibly not coming back...
I just ordered the MOKO....what am I missing if I were to get the MAUNGA (if it were to come back)?
The difference is the grade of leather used, there was a post about this somewhere in this thread.
MOKO - Split Leather
MAGUNA - TopHide

I got my newly purchased Moko with the old logo. Not a killer to me, there's things I like about either design.
My only negative at this point is that the screen doesn't always turn off when I close the top, not because of the magnet, but because the cover doesn't always lay flat enough that it triggers the sleep. If I make sure I flatten out the top, that does the trick. Dunno, I'll see if it's a long-term nag. Kinda wish this was the kind of case with an elastic band to keep the face closed. Yes, it has 2 small bands on the inside, but that means having to grab them.
As far as protection, that seems good, and the cover is stiff enough that I can use it in keyboard mode without having to tuck the cover in, which is what I prefer.

There is some on eBay. Ordered the kumara for 70 bucks. It is the updated version.

Hey glen e -
I am thinking of doing something like this with a similar case, would using a naked magnet like that do no harm if I got PS crystal shield on my iPad (seems it shouldnt scratch)? Or did you cover yours with some type of material?
a small piece of elec tape on the mag face would protect the pad face if it touches..use your imagination...
lol right well if the only harm is scratches like I said got a shield so wouldn't even put tape don't care, thought it could harm it in some other way which why i asked
New Maroo cases
I think it was posted that they would be coming out with some new designs... I'm wondering if that's why the options have been reduced... I'm holding off to buy a new one until then (I already have an "old" one but the smart cover doesn't work)
