Well, you mentioned this in another thread, so I'm snipping the photo from this quote.

This post (and a recent post in the other thread referenced above) concerns the Quirky Cloak, developed and marketed by Quirky - an interesting concept and company... kind of as open source product development and marketing.

This blog entry covers ongoing development and the current timeline:

Ouch is right. But if they bring out an iPhone 4 version, I might bite. I've come to hate most phone cases, and my elderly original iPhone currently sports a leather-covered plastic snap-on back--otherwise, it's just too slippery to hold. Something like this would fit the bill nicely for me.

After using the typing position of the MacAlly Bookstand for a few weeks, I have a hard time understanding why so many iPad cases are designed without that function. I only wish I could fine a good quality leather case that doesn't cover the bezel of the iPad, is relatively light, and functions as well as this one does!

No protection for the screen when in in a bag for transportation.

It's not sold as a case, but as a stand.

Hi Jon, here is another shot of the Cloak (also showing the available colors):

I think that is probably adequate protection.

Harry,

They call it a "case that doubles as a stand".

Pretty good price when you consider the Pogo alone retails for $15......

scottjl · 06-17-2010, 07:10 PM

looks like "bumpers" are the new in thing. i do think the numbs on the back are a good idea. no more rocking on a flat surface. if i didn't have my apple case i'd probably go for this one.

has anyone used a stylus with the ipad..? thoughts?

badgoodDeb · 06-17-2010, 07:24 PM

I was going to ask the same thing. I bought a stylus with my iPhone 3G (2 years ago) and tried it and hated it. I had to press hard enough that I worried about the glass. The rubber tip is trying to simulate a finger tip, and I think it wanted more than one atom of contact; hence the pressing. But I worried, and so didn't use it.

If I find that stylus again (somewhere??) I'll try it on the iPad.

I agree - I tried a stylus to lessen fingerprints - but found myself having to thwack the screen with it. Finger tips work better - and a microfiber towel is excellent at removing fingerprints.

After searching for a case I've decided for this two:

[URL="http://www.play.com/Electronics/Electronics/4-/15502723/Accessory-Village-Black-Apple-iPad-Advanced-Pro-Case-Luxury-Executive-Wallet-Cover-Stand-Flip-Case/Product.html?ptsl=1&ob=Price&fb=0[/URL]

And this one:

What do you think I should get?
