    We’ve redesigned our best-selling Cloak iPad case/stand specifically for the iPad 2, and it’s slimmer, sexier, and more stylish than ever. Introducing the Cloak 2, now available for $45 presale ($50 retail) in the Quirky store. With 1000 units in presale and 20% influence up for grabs, this is your chance to get a piece of the hottest iPad 2 case of the year!

    Features:

    - A super slim folder-style case that easily snaps onto your second-generation iPad.

    - Three stand positions: portrait, landscape, and type stand.

    - Easy to use: just slide out the detachable stand from the back cover and insert into the silicone grooves on the inside front cover to prop up your ‘Pad.

    - Magnetically activates the iPad 2’s sleep sensor so that it turns off when you shut the cover and on when you open it.

    - Made of durable plastic with silicone accents.

    Color options:
    Black/black
    Black/blue
    White/blue
    White/graphite

    Dimensions:
    7.48” x 9.72” x 0.47”

    The Quirky Design Staff has been sketching away behind the scenes on a line extension of our popular Cloak case, specifically designed for the iPad 2. We’re almost ready to launch, but first, we need your help finalizing color choices. Throw your vote into our Color/Materials/Finish project.

    Note: We won’t be awarding influence for this round, but we will be awarding influence for buying in Presale. Just throwin’ that out there.

    We all knew it was coming: the release of the much-anticipated iPad 2 during this afternoon’s Apple press conference. And boy, is she a beaut.

    Now that we know what this thing looks like, it’s time to start innovatin’. In anticipation of a FLOOD of iPad 2-related submissions, we’ve decided to change the subject of next week’s Quirky brief to “iPad 2 Accessories That Aren’t Cases” (cue thunderous applause).

    Why are we shying away from cases, you ask? Well, first off, in all honesty, we think Apple’s new case is super rad. Second, if we decide to enter the case market, we’ll probably revisit our own successful iPad case, the Cloak. And third, we believe that if any community’s going to innovate the heck out of non-case accessories, it’s ours.

    More details about this brief are coming, but we wanted to fill you in as soon as we could. Here is the updated brief schedule:

    Monday 3/7 — iPad 2 Accessories (No Cases!)

    Monday 3/14 — Bar Tools

    Monday 3/21 — Photography

    In this Ideator Interview, Mike McCoy chats a bit about what it was like working with Quirky to turn his idea for Cloak into a reality.

    The Quirky Cloak popped up on this morning’s Today Show, in a feature on “fun finds for every age” that included wearable wallets, Darth Vader-shaped pancakes, and a knock-off of Chelsea Clinton’s wedding dress. Hrm… we’ll take it.

    Until today, many Quirks were left clueless when it came to cleaning their Cloaks. Yes it is one of the few products on the market made from hearty non-slip rubber. Yes black is notoriously known to proudly display any imperfection. But this is the Cloak, we’re talking about–the much anticipated, brand spankin’ new, best iPad case ever. Something had to be done about this messy situation.

    Community Intern to the rescue! In the past 24 hours, I’ve been on a quest to find a quick and easy solution. I tested a rag and multi-purpose cleaner, (’twas too soapy), Clorox wipes (left behind too much residue), Windex (there’s a reason it’s made for glass), and even baby wipes (no comment) with no prevail. I also trued running the Cloak under lukewarm water, without the iPad in it, of course, for somewhat satisfactory results but I refused to settle. Finally I discovered Pledge Multi-Surface Wipes. The wax-free formula in this multi-surface cleaner wiped away dust and dirt without leaving any residue build-up behind.

    Bottom line: If you’re willing to shell out a few bucks at the corner drugstore, go ahead and Pledge your allegiance now. Otherwise, as I found in my most recent experiment, a damp textured sponge works quite well too.

    Stay quirky and keep your Cloaks clean. Over and out!

    We’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! :)

    Field Trip!

    By jess at 11:20 am

    This morning, at an ungodly hour, Nikki, Matt, and two Bens set out to Quirky’s Pennsylvania warehouse to oversee the first outbound shipment of black Cloaks.

    (You: Wait, what? Did I read that right? Cloak is shipping?!)

    Yeah, you read that right. After a long journey filled with ups and downs, we are finally ready to roll out probably the most anticipated iPad case in iPad case history. And we have pictures to prove it!

    The next series of pics will come from you… post a photo of you with your Cloak on our product page when you receive it!
