I do like Yoobao cases as well. . They are made much better than the Chinao junk.
well I'm glad you think so others think differently
Chinao Leather Vaja Clone
I finally received Chinao's Vaja Clone in Black Leather yesterday. I bought it as a gift for a friend but I snuck my ipad in it and took some quick pictures to post here. I purchased it from the person that we're not allowed to mention. If you google "chinao ipad 2" the website I bought it from comes up first in the search results.
I'm very happy with it! If I didn't already own a Vaja Libretto I would pick this over it considering that I paid $160 for my Vaja. I wish this was released a couple of months ago before I ordered the Vaja!
Here are some quick thoughts...
It's very professional looking and would be very appropriate for a business meeting. There's no chemical smell; it has a very faint leather smell to it. The leather has a nice feel to it; there isn't a lot of padding but it feels good. There is a magnet for auto sleep/wake. When the cover is folded over the back I couldn't trigger the sleep/wake. The interior is a soft grey microfiber. All port cutouts perfectly line up. The stitching is really nice. I really like the care they took when wrapping the leather into the corners (look at picture #5 below). When I shook the ipad upside down it didn't fall out. When the case is in the typing and video viewing positions it's very sturdy and secure.
The Wheat is fantastic Really liking the color...its a good change ya know? From standard issue black/brown leathers.

I received my Chinao wheat case today; I absolutely LOVE it!. I had originally ordered it to provide the extra protection I need for travelling, but it looks so fabulous, I might just make this my primary case. (I also have the Rivet, Vaja style case, which looks good, but does not protect the corners as well).
The quality and the color of this wheat leather is really gorgeous, holes line up perfectly, so far no negatives I can think of, even though the back flap is something different to what I am used to.
Highly recommended!
I received mine also. Love it. Fit is good and it looks great
Just got my Chinao leather wheat case today, and I'm totally impressed with this case. The leather is very high quality, and looks, feels, and smells wonderful. The leather is thicker than a lot of leather cases, but the case is still very slim with the iPad in it. The iPad fits tightly and perfectly, and the inside is very soft and nice. The cover also doesn't move around as you carry it, which activates the sleep/wake (which really annoys me). I actually like and now prefer the small border that's around the screen, as it makes it easier to hold the iPad and gives it more grip. This case is very bit as nice as much higher-priced cases.
Oh, I forgot to mention! This afternoon, I was running around, getting last minute stuff for my trip. I did not leave my iPad in the car because of the heat, and wouldn't ya know it.....dropped it on the concrete floor of a store! I swear, there was a collective *Gasp* of at least 6 people in line with me....it landed with a thud on the bottom corner, then smacked face down. I am sooooooo happy to say, NOT one teensy li'l scratch/ding/crack! My Chinao case behaved perfectly. If the iPad was in my other case, with the clip-on open bezel, it would, I am sure, have gone bouncing out and about.
I agree, it not only looks good, it is great protection.
I have totally stopped looking for the perfect iPad case after receiving my Chinao Wheat case. It's a perfect fit, looks and feels great outside and inside, very slim, cover folds underneath flat, easy to grip, looks a lot more expensive than it was.
Sorry i don't have all day to post them all
and yes i received my Yoobao Magic case yesterday for the i pad 2 love it as well except the last notch for the lower viewing angle does not hold well the other 2 are great and the typing position is perfect. i don't use the lower angle so no biggie and i see a $35 case as a $35 case. Thats why i have so many of them. I also don't say a manufacturer is low quality based on a single purchase. i just had my new $1900 13" MBA replaced due to a cosmetic flaw but that happens.
