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

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!

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!

(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!
