DODOcase for iPad quick review
Tuesday, June 15, 2010 at 12:01PM I recently recieved my DODOcase for my iPad, and I must say, what a beautiful and wonderful case! The construction videos on the DODOcase website tell the entire story, but basically, they make an iPad case by using traditional bookbinding techniques. In addition to being very attractive (black matte fabric outside, deep red fabric inside), the case is very functional. About as thin as any iPad case could be, the DODOcase holds the iPad with rubber bumpers in each corner, and keeps the cover closed with an elastic strap, just like book cases. The fit and finish are amazing, and they intelligently include cut outs for all the ports and buttons. The case won’t keep your iPad dry, but it should be sufficient protection from scratches and the occasional light drop. The iPad is actually nicer to hold and use when in the case (feeling more like a book). I haven’t used it long enough to assess longevity, but my guess is that it will last about as long as any book used every day, which is to say, not as long as a normal iPad case. I’m especially worried that the rubber bumpers which hold the iPad will come loose with time, but at $40 USD it wouldn’t be too painful to purchase a new case in a year’s time. Overall, it’s a great case.

I'm really enjoying mine too! I had to wait 5 weeks for it but it was worth it. Hopefully you won't have problems with the rubber corners like mine. They started to come up. So I emailed the support team at DODOcase and they said they'd send out replacement ones. Or I could just use superglue to glue down the parts that are coming up.
But it definitely looks great.

We love DODOcase as well. It looks like Moleskine and it feels you're just holding a book. The only issue we found is the wait time of 3-4 weeks. But we've read a few complaints regarding the corners which holds the iPad. Well, ours are still intact. Thank God. [ED: redacted author link because this comment feels spammy]
