epic response.
I think this case looks amazing.

Yeah carbon fiber is pretty stale, especially fake CF like this. But it does help the grip, though I'd prefer it were leather which would be just as grippy.
I just picked up this case thinking that it met most of my criteria, and got it yesterday.
I really liked the case design - the rails to hold the iPad are solid, the interior feels nice, the exterior design looks nice, but sadly the feel of the exterior material - for me - is not good. It feels cheap, like plastic.
Amusingly my husband likes it and is keeping it which saves me a return, but I'm still on a search for an alternative case to the Apple case. If only they could release one in leather!!
Mine is definitely leather. I can tell by the feel/smell/look of it. Being as this case is advertised as being leather, I can only assume the OP misconstrued the material?
Just got mine yesterday. Don't have an iPad to put in it yet (arriving Friday), but I really like this case. I had two Yoobaos and a generic, and this is leaps and bounds better. Looks good, feels good, and is made well.

Regardless, I did a crap ton of research, and this is the only case that has all the features I want. It doesn't obscure the iPad's face, it doesn't impinge on typing, it has a good typing angle, and it holds the iPad securely (at least from what I've read).
I really can't fault it. I mean, yeah, I did pay $70 (including shipping), but that's one of the downsides of being an early adopter. In all fairness, Xgear did a really good job...the build quality is grade A. I'm just hoping it holds up over time...but then, I haven't seen a single bad thing said about this case (with the exception of personal nitpicks).
By the way, for anyone interested in picking one up, I got mine from this seller: Xgear iPad Folio. I was a bit leery ordering from Canada, but the case was here literally overnight (order put in/shipped Monday, here Tuesday morning). That's Montreal to Los Angeles in less than 24 hours.
So, i'd like to hear your review, since you should now had received your ipad, and you have Yoobao AND the Xgear.
What is your conclusion?
When open this way there's a nice little spot for my stylus to clip onto... An added bonus!
