NEW Awesome Maroo iPad 2 cases

Had my Moko II for about three weeks now and I absolutely love it. Excellent build quality and no show of any wear and tear. (I had a Griffen case previously that was already wearing down within a week of having it) Only downside to it is that it adds bulk and adds a little bit more weight but eventually you get use to it. Overall I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a good iPad 2 case.
 
I finally made up my mind and ordered the Maroo Kumara II. My only hesitation was that I think it might be thicker than what I want. However, my first gen Yoobao case, which I don't have any problems with in general, is already starting to show wear that is probably indicative of it's relatively cheap price. The rubbery filler material between the layers has started to come out. I didn't really care except when I realized that because of the very slim design (a feature that I really liked) the corner where the filler is coming out now has no protection. The case has such a snug fit that one corner of the iPad is now basically exposed.

The quality and design of the Kumara II looks really good. Can anyone who has ordered one recently in the USA comment on how long it took to arrive?

i ordered a Maroo Roto and it took two days to Chicago.
 
I ordered my Moko II on a Saturday a couple of weeks ago. It shipped the following Monday and I received it on Wednesday (in Texas). l am very happy with the case.

It is very thick. It is about twice the thickness of the iPad in a Smartcover with Belkin back cover.
 
The case does add a little weight but it's nice to have the extra protection. I shove my iPad into a Timbuk2 bag every day to haul to work and I wanted something that had a little cushioning rather than just a plastic cover. It has worked so well that I am now using a Maroo case with my classroom iPad and students and it's holding up great.

My one gripe with the case is that I wish the flap thingy on the back was a little longer and deeper. I find that the cover tends to pop out of it when in typing mode.

Also wish they had a leather cover in dark purple--that would be awesome!
 
more paypal issues

After battling with Paypal I eventually won and ordered a Moko II case. Not too long after I ordered I received an email confirming my case had been dispatched.

Through my issues with Paypal and behind the scenes emails with Cyberacoustics(aka Maroo) the customer service has been excellent so far.

Looking forward to receiving my case and will report back.

Has the Maroo autosleep function stopped working for anyone? It seems it stopped working for me.

Interesting.. its only a small magnet placed inside the case... how can we turn off the magnet? there are two reasons:

1. Auto on/off is turned off in your iPad
2. The magnet is misplaced

:rolleyes:

Perhaps the latter happened. I tried to close it at different angles, but I couldn't make it working even once after it stopped. Anyway, Maroo shipped me a replacement without any questions asked. It just shows I made a good choice by choosing the brand.
 
I love these cases! I've bought more than one for myself, family and friends. I have given them as gifts. I use one with my personal iPad at work every single day and have my classroom iPad also in a Maroo case. Great protection and everyone likes them.

My one and only only complaint is that the corners of my leather Kumara II are getting smooth and shiny from daily use due to the softer style leather. I take my iPad in and out of my bag daily and I've noticed that for whatever reason that's the place that is getting wear and tear (perhaps because my fingers hit there when I move the elastic straps at the corner). It's not a huge thing but something I've experienced. Still, it's a beautiful case...love the rich brown leather...

I'm glad to see Maroo is getting new styles. I wish they would update the less expensive models as well. LOL, eventually I'll have a Maroo case for every day of the week...
 
Case too Vertical in Movie Position?

For those of you that have the Muanga II or Kumara II, how stable is the case when you have it in movie viewing landscape view. It looks like the case may be too vertical and not stable enough to keep it from falling?

Also, how would you rate the quality of the leather?

Thanks to everyone.
 
I use my Kumara case in the horizontal view mode all the time. I find it just fine for stability and haven't had any issues. It does sit fairly straight up.

The leather on this case is beautiful with a nice grain to it. It is softer than the leather on the less expensive cases and the nylon/leather ones. I like the look but wish it was a little more heavy duty--just my own personal preference.

We're actually working on new designs right now, especially with the inevitable iPad 3 release in March/April/May/whenever.

I'm humbled by the support that we've gotten in this thread, so thank you all.

Please feel free to ask me any questions.

There are no new designs coming out in the next few weeks. Right now, you can only purchase the cases on our official site, our facebook page, and Amazon.
