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

[Laserawesome]

Thank you so much for the heads up! I just got a Moko for 22.49! So sweet. When an apple smart cover costs 40-70 bucks and most name brand cases cost in the 60 dollar range, this is a no brainer.

Do the magnets work like a smart cover to turn the ipad off and on or do they just hold the case shut?

Me too This is the best deal of the year! I can also put my business cards in the case as well I think? Correct me if I'm wrong.

It did look like it had some sort of pocket on the inside left flap.

Magnets turn screen on/off but do not hold the cover closed or even hold it aligned. Camera cutout blocks a bit, too.

Sweet deal! I just ordered one myself. Glad the promo code still works.

Finally got to order one, went for the Maroo Awanui II.

Canceled my order because it uses the 2 elastic straps to hold the cover closed. Surprised they don't mention this on their website (or maybe I just missed it).

No.

Watched the video review of the ipad 2 moko. It has perfect alignment with the camera.

The magnets may or may not hold the cover shut all the way, but the straps can be hidden away. I think they will be rather useful though.

I agree, this is the perfect case IMHO; watching their slingshot vid is icing on the cake!

 

[glen e]

no prob with straps for me...as they are on inside....

Just a thought, but since they are doing this for the new iPad and if it was that big of a concern on the iPad 2 where the vids and reviews are based from. Its possible they may have addressed some of the concerns just as they showed they did with the original iPad case designs. That being said I am still glad I got in on this deal and I saw alot of good reviews on amazon with this case as well.

Don't have to watch the video, I owned one.

Picked up a CA ic1052 and a Kaimata stand. 50% off and free shipping makes me an impulse buyer....lol. I would have never bought a maroo case at normal price...my magic price threshold is about $35.

 

[JonDigital]

Thanks to the OP for the heads up on this. I am in for one as well as my dad. Seemed like a no-brainer even if I wind up not liking it.

No brainer, indeed. I ordered two cases (Moko and Roto), one for me and one for my wife. At $22.50 each (delivered), they will suffice until such time as we may find something we like better. If we take care of them, I bet we'll be able to sell them for at least $20 each at some point down the road. These cases appear to be well worth a $2.50 "rental" for 2-3 months while we watch for other options. In the meantime, we'll have a case on our shiny new iPads!

Thanks, OP!
