by jessWe’re wrapping this project up!
(Note Nikki’s epic victory dance around minute 1:06)
UPDATE: Our warehouse friends were able to ship out more than 500 Cloak packages in just one day. From here on out it should be smooth sailing!

I came looking for a video of you getting the shipment. I saw something far better. The cloak protecting the hell out of the iPad and working as designed. Awesome!

Congrats all involved. Can’t wait to get my hands on mine, and with shipping confirmation in my inbox it wont be too much longer.

Looks SWEET! Sorry, I didn’t know about Quirky while that was being developed because I could have made it Saweeeter-just kidding: I just wish I had a piece of that winner.

THIS CASE SUCKS BALLS! WORSTE CASE ON THE MARKET! WICKED FLIMSY!

After looking at the videos I’m glad I didn’t order one. It looks really flimsy and the sound of all the plastic is cheap and would drive me nuts. I found out via the silicone Incase grip sleeve that silicone wasn’t gonna do it for me. Every time I reached for my iPad it felt like I was going to pull the case off. The fit was far too loose for comfort. I really like the design of the cloak with some changes to materials that wouldn’t impact functionality and would drastically improve durability (at least perceived durability in my case since I don’t have one in my hands). I’d go with thin brushed aluminum for the body of the unit and the kickstands, which would allow the unit to be both lightweight and sleek (to complement the iPad). The sleeve where the iPad is placed could be lined with a velour or corduroy to cushion the iPad from the aluminum of the case; this also serves to protect the iPad from grit and such that might manage to make it’s way between the iPad and case allowing for a longer window (comfortably) between cleanings (as I’m sure we all do with our shiny apples). Around the outside borders of the case I would incorporate TPU material which is flexible and grippy while also being more rigid than silicone and much easier to clean. To the kickstands the addition of rubber feet at the contact points to prevent slippage would suit it. It would also be nice to see a button release for the locking mechanism for the various angles of the stand. I don’t want to sound negative, but rather to provide ideas that in my opinion would result in a product that would stand up to the hype of this long-awaited product face-on and win! I’d buy what I described in a heartbeat and I think others would too!!
