I heard a lot of stories about the dodocases falling apart and not holding the ipads snug enough, and heard that portenzo were super durable and well-made so I went with portenzo. Hope it was the right decision.
I have had the Dodocase for my iPad now for almost a year. Though I wish I could, I cannot recommend it. The iPad no longer fits snugly in the case and the front cover has warped. I will not be buying another one for my iPad 2.
ATT store in portland oregon has all original ipad cases 50% off, picked up a really light griffin case for my ipad 2 today, fits like a glove (long as i dont use rear camera" really like it for $25 bucks
