NEW Awesome Maroo iPad 2 cases

Let us know what you think of the case! We're sold out of that one right now. Lucky you!
Getting ready to order the MOKO 2. Been looking for a Folio type case and this looks like a perfect choice with added protection.
The Defender case was a little too much of a pain getting in and out of the case. Sometimes it is nice just to hold the iPad in all it's naked glory.
Any chance of a more lady like leather or design coming out, like Pink or purple? Trying to find a folio for the wife too.
We're always playing around with new styles and such. Keep checking back to the site. Following us on twitter or liking us on Facebook is the fastest way to get info, since that's where I primarily post new information.
Maroo Kumara II
I received the case today (thanks batman75), and I like it a lot. Maroo definitely produce a quality product. It does add a bit of bulk to the iPad, but most things that provide good protection do. If you're looking for an minimalistic case--this is not for you. However, if you're in the market for a very well made and professional looking case, the Maroo Kumara II should be at the top of your considerations.
Here are a few pics. Sorry for the poor quality--the lighting in my office is terrible.

Ordered The CyberAcoustics IC-1002BK from Amazon. I went with the CA since it doesn't have the Logo on the front. I like the nice clean look of the case.
Once I realized CA and Maroo were one in the same I went with the CA
Supposed to have it Thursday. Love Amazon!
Now to find a folio the wife will like that provides some protection. Though one of the Maroo designs might grow on her.

Love Maroo products! How about a cover for a Kindle Touch?
Also, would love an iPad 2 cover in rich, dark purple...

Just ordered the wife the Seth Polka Model. Found the Valentine Day code for 14% off to boot
She is going to love that one. I know she likes minus, though plain black isn't her cup of tea.
Was a little disappointed it didn't have the magnet setup in it, ready up on that it should be simple to put one in the pocket easy enough.

Hope Maroo is coming out with iPad 3 cases--I will be buying the new model--will need a new case

Oh we are, don't you worry. Also, all the rumors abound say that the iPad 3 should fit in our current cases. So that is very great news!

I have both the roto (I think -it is the red leather - which is starting to fray around the edges and the inside felt is pulling away from the inside in a couple places and looking grungy after about 6 months of daily use) and the more expensive brown leather one -kumara II (a gift to me from kids) and I cannot tell the difference between the leather on the two - certainly not enough to justify the difference in price. IF anyone is trying to choose between the more expensive version and the cheaper one - I see no reason to spend the extra money if you are expecting a nicer leather feel or a nicer looking case - they look and feel the same except for color. I like the cases, just if anyone was wondering about the difference in the two leathers - I cannot tell any. Plus the cheaper cyber acoustics version does not have the annoying rubber maroo thing on it. I wish they had gotten that one for me instead.

Off topic but...
It is offensive to hear men refer to their spouses as "the wife". "my wife" sounds like you actually care about her. Sorry to vent but it is a major pet peeve for me on these boards. I would be soooo offended if my husband referred to me as "the wife".
Sorry if I offended anyone.
BTW, the Maroo cases are really nice quality and style.

That's good to know about the leather. I have used my Kumara II daily for about 7 months and it still looks like new, it's not fraying, etc. It does have one small scuff mark where I dropped it. Some brown shoe polish helped with that. FYI--I like the Maroo badge...different strokes as I think glen-e says.
Will you have iPad 3 cases available once the iPad 3 is in stores?
Also, I'm really glad that I won't have to go through endless "case hunting" like last year to find a decent one. The Maroo case is hands down the best for me. I throw my iPad in my teacher bag daily and the case has protected it amongst all the papers, books etc I also stash in there. I've also jammed that iPad in my 3 ring binder I carry around school and the Maroo case has protected it perfectly. My only request is for a few more colors and designs...can't wait...

Just out of curiosity, how many of you tried a variety of cases before settling on Maroo?
I went through a Treegloo, Dodo case, Pad & Quill, Joy Factory, Switcheasy Canvas, 12 South BookBook, Powis iCase, Incipio Smart Feather, Silicon sleeve, Apple Smart Cover and Apple Folio case.
All had their pluses and minuses....

While we won't have new designs on DAY ONE, all rumors indicate that the iPad HD(3) will fit our current cases. New designs will be available shortly after launch.
From all of the information that's been made available, we're confident that our cases will fit the new iPad. We'll be purchasing some iPads on the 16th, so we won't be able to say with 100% certainty until that time, but the 3mm difference between versions should be negligible in terms of fit.

If i buy one of your cases on amazon can i return it to you for a new one if it doesn't fit the ipad 3.
I have found maroo customer service to be excellent. And the cases (roto and kumara) have kept my ipad 2 in pristine condition even though it is in constant use everyday at work and at home.
