This red Yoobao case appears to have the red stitching. It's available now on Amazon, I may order it...
Or maybe the brown:
They are both gorgeous and look great with the white iPad!

Mine also shipped from Anaheim.....it's only one zip code from Hubby's office, about 5 miles.......Wonder if USPS will deliver today??
Sleeve suggestions
I am traveling Monday for work so I would like to pick up a sleeve from a local store that will the ipad with this case. I prefer a snug fit. Any suggestions? I want to order the incase sleeve but I really need something for Monday.
Do you know if Apple will accept an opened smart cover return? I want to use it for the trip

I think the red just looks SO stunning with the white iPad. I had originally ordered the brown, but when I saw the red, I just had to order it too; will probably sell the brown case when I receive it.

Gosh so many people's cases are already shipping. I contacted the seller and they got back to me pretty quick. They told me that they ran out of their first shipment and that I, and everyone who orders now, will be on later shipments. This made me mad because when I ordered, it said "In stock on March 25th." I told him I want to cancel the order so hopefully it will be canceled soon. I think I'm gonna order from that one site someone talked about earlier, has anyone had any problems with that so far?

I do not think the brown is going to look good with a black iPad imo. A darker richer brown color definitely would (like the Vaja cases)
I returned mine after 1 week of use. Mo questions asked. My iPad is still naked though!
I ended up going with the brown as I feel it will look more professional with the white iPad. I do like the red, but the color reminds me of a purse. For some people it might work well.
Awful leather strip around bezel holding iPad in place. Four corner point fastening system thats in the iPad case from Yoobao is best.
Good luck with all the dust and debris that get caught in that space, and why in heavens name would you want cover most important aspect of the ipad, the screen.
Outside the sleep/wake functionality, this case stinks.

Have you seen in person? Seems just as good if not better than the apple 1 case which I loved.
I just ordered this, but these pictures concern me. Is the leather really as wrinkled as it looks? And the case looks a bit flimsy...
Are you happy with the case now that you have it?
I may cancel my order...

OK guys. Real photos.
I think those indents you see in the leather are marks left from the shipping box. The same thing happened when I received my first Yoobao case last year. They disappeared after a few hours. My red case arrived this morning, will pick it up later and let you know if it exhibits any of those same marks. I am very fussy with "quality control", so believe me if I am not satisfied, it will go right back.
I did post this earlier, but in case you missed it, my year old Yoobao case still looks fantastic, showing far less wear than Hubby's Incase jacket.
The leather lip that rides around the edge of the screen, on the bezel. Dirt trap and looks silly. Already covering enough of the ipad why would you want to cover ANY of the screen.
I have an order for the Marware CEO 2 and the Vaja libretto, will evaluate both and then make a decision from there. Would have loved a Yoobao if they stuck with the same design as for the iPad 1 magic case
It depends on what your individual preferences are for the viewing angles. Some people prefer the format of the original Apple case, but just want that same design in leather. Others prefer the grooves that you see in the Yoobao Magic Case. For me, the "grooved" design was only practical if the ipad was placed on a table, but was not comfortable if sitting on a sofa, with the ipad in my lap.

Love my black case
Received my black one today and I love it so far. I had a Chinao before and the iPad slid around inside. This one is snug and secure in each position. Also the cut outs are done very nicely for all the ports.

So my red Yobao case arrived today, and I just love it!
It looks just gorgeous with the white ipad. Quality is fantastic. The bezel surrounding the ipad is much smaller than my original Yoobao, allowing the white to show:
For anyone concerned about the build of this case, I've looked it over carefully and cannot find fault.

Really Nice! stitching looks very good too.
how does the flap feel, sturdy? closes tight? how is it when its folded back flat against back of ipad? Looks like no mic hole on the top edge for the 3G ATT ipad2.
it looks slippery, everything Ive tried is slippery, I want some grip!!
You didn't show the gray underside much. It'll blend on my black one ok I think.
thanks

I find that if I move even a little, when the ipad is on my lap, it will become dislodged from the grooves. My husband has this version of the case qnd he also gets irritated with the grooves not holding well. (his is the new Targus case that has that same form factor.)
Another reason i like the slim bezel that surrounds the entire edge of the ipad, is the protection it provides. The other day, I dropped my old Ipad (v. 1) on the sidewalk, and I shudder to think of what would have happened to the edges if they were unprotected, even though the rest was okay because of the case.
