1/8th inch is enough to get in the way when moving apps from one screen to another. Not that it's done frequently but it's enough to be annoying.

I don't find any issues with moving apps from one screen to another and that is done so infrequently that I am surprised you would even raise it as an issue.

Ya, I'm just picky about anything near the touchscreen. I haven't used a case like that for the iPad but that design really bothered me on the iPhone. Keyboard keys around the edge were annoying too, but then again the iPad keys are larger so I'm just making a big deal about it out of supposition.
 
Grrr. Ordered from the seller in CA on ebay. Got a USPS tracking number. The ebay receipt had my correct address. According to USPS, it was delivered today. To a zip that is not mine (one nearby, same first 3 numbers). It sure was not delivered to me.

Oh well, my iPad is still on backorder with macconnection anyway.
 
Did anyone order one of these yet? If so, seller reliable, good communications, etc?

Yes I ordered one of the version 2 cases from that seller on Saturday and paid extra for EMS shipping so I am hoping to have it later this week. Once I receive it I'll do another video review with the old and new versions side by side.
 
I ordered one on Saturday as well, but didn't get a shipping email....ebay ad said he shipped within two days of receiving payment. It's Tuesday morning there for him so I hope to hear from him soon.
 
I inquired about the other case mentioned in this thread...

http://yoobao.en.alibaba.com/product...pple_iPad.html

I was told my case (the pre-flap version) was just about to ship today, but that they would stop that order and just send me the Executive instead when it becomes available at the end of the month.

How are you guys contacting the seller? I emailed Bandy at Bandy.zhou@hotmail.com and haven't heard anything back. I want to buy the executive version. I read in posts above, that people said it's not leather, but the link says its PU leather?

what seller I did not see any in the US, did he have the "new case"?

There are none now. He just had 5 of them (the original one) and sold out. Still waiting to hear if the post office found my case. Grrr.
 
Got my case in today. It looks pretty slick and feels nice. The missing flap to hold in the ipad is a pretty big design flaw but i went and got one of those sticky pad things at walmart and it has worked out great.

The one big thing it has over my apple case is it doesn't look like someone wiped their ass with the covers. I'll keep using it over the next couple weeks and hopefully it'll ne good. If any issues come up I'll post bout it.
 
I see in the OP there is a new link to the Case with the new design where the flap has been added to the case. I think this is probably the better choice if your still considering the case overall. I think it would secure it a little better.

Did the price go up tho? It's showing $41 and for some reason I recall the original case being $29

Yes Yoobao has updated the case with a flap, several of us already have ordered the new version coming direct from the orient. It does appear that the seller(s) of the new version are charging more but I suspect the price will drop once the original ones are gone and they are more readily available.
 
My case from sm_wireless_store arrived today. The stitching and the leather look good. It does have a solvent smell (from the lining I assume) which hopefully will go away. No smell of expensive leather unfortunately.

I don't have my iPad yet, being in Canada, so I can't say how it fits.

I was upset when I ordered my case from besthoo168 last Monday to findout 4 days later they had started to ship the updated case. I emailed him to see if I could exchange the case and he replied back with

"Hi!
we already sent the upgraded version of YOOBAO leather case to you!
when you received the item,you will are happy!
Thanks"

I paid the original price of the case and got the updated version. This is great customer service! Only paid 38 total!

What really irks me is that I already bought the original Yoobao case and now they come out with a new version which replaces the design flaw of the original.

I just hate to have to buy another case. I wish they would do a trade in for people who just bought one.

I'm in the same boat. I just sent a message to the seller to ask for a replacement.
 
I agree it's a bummer that I had to order 2 of them, but on the plus side at least the manufacturer took feedback and the efforts to improve their design. So far I haven't seen Marware take the same steps to fix the poor flap design on their Eco-view case.
 
I too ordered one then found out about the upgrade. So I ordered the new one and then got an email that my original order was upgraded. I will have two with the flap so I will be selling one soon.

I don't see a for sale forum here so I guess ebay again?
 
Anyone with iPad 3G bought this case? w4rmk mentioned that there are 3 magnets along the edge of the case.
Do the magnets have any impact on the compass in the iPad?
(I just canceled my Marware Eco-Vue order because there are multiple reviews complaining how the magnet messed up the compass in their 3G model.)
I'm liking this case and I'd really appreciate any comments.
