I think the world accessory companies are encouraged to create accessories for ipad because they know ipad will be the best-selling gadgets on the market ... just my opinion only....hehehe

Bought my leather case at the Mac City 1U.

Saw +Simplism over there, nice, but price at RM199. So I got myself another one, which cheaper.

Omg! Twelve south now has the book book for ipads! Anybody want to join in my order? Want to get a book book and a compass stand.......

Maybe will wait for epicenter to bring it in so don't have to shell out for the shipping fees.

sometimes Epicenter might not be cheaper. I order my Griffin A Frame stand from the website with discount code i got from the net. It's still cheaper than Epicenter even with shipping cost

I personally wouldn't recommend the Book Book, the method they use to keep the iPad in place employs using straps that may or may not hold it in place after prolonged usage. There are countless occasions where folks using iPads which uses straps at corners having them straps snaps and down come the iPad to the hard floor.

I was as interested about the Compass Stand, but after scrutinising it further, the two prongs holding the bottom of the iPad in easel mode, will be jutting upwards and impede on the ease of typing when the stand flattens itself into a shallower angle. That was pointed out to me by someone else, otherwise I'd be interested to get this as well. I like the relative thinness and portability of the stand when collapsed, but the two prongs are a dealbreaker.

The A-Frame? Urgh. I move my iPad everywhere with me, it doesn't stay stationary. If it is only on my office desk or on my night stand, then the A-Frame would be feasible, but damn, that thing is heavy! I would still recommend the Skadoosh or Joule (if not cash-strapped). OR any other numerous leather folios that folds into a stand in both vertical or horizontal configurations. At least those options are portable. The A-Frame is heavy enough to discourage moving it around.

Is anyone in Malaysia selling DodoCase? Or do I have to ship it in myself? I fell in love with it the moment I saw Kevin Rose using it.

yeah, the A Frame is pretty heavy but solid. I just place it on my working desk, never move it around though.

Be advised that there are cases where the Dodocase doesn't hold the iPad in place securely enough that the iPad topples out of the slot. There are several Youtube clips showing this as well. The four corners are made of foam and after some time, the foam pads deformed and doesn't hold the iPad in place anymore. Since then they have shipped with extra foam pads but there's always that worry that your iPad would topple out of the case.

hello...can i join the bulk to get THE COMPASS from twelvesouth plzzzz

The two prongs is not a deal breaker for me, as most of the time, if I need the stand, it'll be because I'm using the apple wireless keyboard.
So yeah, will have to wait for a discount code from Twelve South.....

Thanks for the tip. Any case that's similar to the Dodocase that you would recommend?

Unfortunately, that Dodocase's Moleskine look is one of a kind. Unless they've fixed the iPad corner foam grips, there aren't any other choices.

Dang. My hunt for the perfect iPad case continues then. Will post here when I've found it.

@doctorpopcorn: I've been using my Dodocase for the past month or so, haven't had any problems so far. The ipad has just stayed in the case since I put it in, I don't really take it out at all.

The dodocase is handmade, hence a bigger margin for manufacturing errors and there was a bad batch that was shipped out that led to a few complaints. From its FB page, they say that they have it fixed with a different combination of foam/glue for the corners, time will tell if the new ones will last longer.

yes, my portable muzetto and iphone 4 case by waterfield finally came ..
