Looks okay - nearly identical to this one.
The Amazon reviews for which are pretty good.

I've never liked the faux leather look, myself.

Hmm I don't like the deals when something has to be delivered - makes me a bit suspicious. Also I googled the company and they have the same groupon deal going in the uk today. Makes me wonder will they be oversold and be waiting months

I couldn't be happier with mine. Loved it on my iPad 1. Only issue was the iPad did slide down a bit when you had it standing on end, an issue that's been addressed with the Velcro inside the case. It really fits the iPad well too.

The sleep/wake function works perfect too. To be honest I would have happily paid 40-50 quid for the case so delighted with the cheap price too.

Hmm, that doesn't seem to be working on mine now...it was with the smart cover. Will play around with it and see if anything's off, but I don't think so.

Bought the new iPad yesterday in Harvey Normans. I didn't see any cases I liked. I looked on amazon but didn't see anything amazing either. I will be using the tablet a lot and think the idea of a stand built into the case could be good. Can anyone recommend where to get a nice case. I'm not too sure if I want plain and simple or something with a bit of design on it. I'll know it when I see it.

As far as i know, there are many cases on some indepedent wholesale online shops besides amazon, may be you can have a try, but i don't know what kind of cases do you like? i think leather keyboard case is a good choice...

Thats disappointing. Mine works without issue. Maybe they sent you a iPad 2 case? The magnets polarities are different in the iPad 2 and new iPad.

I`d certainly contact them and try and return it. They have a live chat option on their website which I used a couple of times and there was always someone there to talk to within a couple of minutes.

Ah, apologies I should have mentioned it's iPad 2 case because I've a second gen refurb. Hitting the power button seems to turn the screen off, but it doesn't auto-wake when I open the cover as was the case with the smart one.

As well then it sounds like you have the new iPad case, which wont activate the sleep/wake function on the iPad 2.

They also do a case for the iPad 2 which will activate the sleep/wake function. Might be worth asking them can they replace the case?

The Black Oil

This is the one I went with.

Which one are you referring to?

Ah ok. They have a full range of them on Amazon too. I`d definitely contact them and arrange to send it back. I wouldnt be surprised if theyve sent you the case for the new iPad. The only difference i think is the polarity of the magnets.

My sister has a Snugg case for her iPad 2 and the sleep/wake function works perfectly.

The Black Oil

Hmm, well the email order says:

Your Ordered:
1 x Snugg iPad 2 Case Cover and Flip Stand in Black Leather

The printed invoice that came with it that says the same.

Ordered this - a bit more expensive but looks the business.

Snugg have dispatched another, pretty much no questions asked. I offered to return the current one, but they said to keep it. Wow, wasn't expecting that sort of customer service.

I want to order a snugg ipad3 case, pay in euro and deliver to Ireland.

thesnugg online chat help says use the uk site. The uk site charges in GBP (thus an FX charge) and also a £8 GBP delivery charge for outside UK deliveries.
Its free delivery inside UK.

Did anybody here get around this ?
What is the best method to buy a snugg ipad case ?

Cheers

Follow this advice.

I bought a Snugg case and it's fantastic. It's a book cover style one with two position stand and the sleep/wake function works perfect on it. 23 euro from their site delivered. Choose dollars as currency and google a discount code for their site. www.thesnugg.com

I bought the Groupon deal for the ipad case from Born on the Streets, and when I went to use the voucher, there's no sign of any ipad accessories on the Born on the Streets website - does anyone have any info on what to do in this situation?

Scroll (horizontally) to the right on this page.

Thanks very much for that - it wasn't there earlier! Much appreciated.

I already had a black leather Smart Cover from my iPad 2. And with my iPad 2 I had the same rear case and loved it.
So ordered the iPad 3 model. Only add's 1mm in thickness to the iPad and can be used with the Smart Cover I have so worked perfect for me. Also came with screen protector and anti-static cleaning cloth. Happy with it

The new iPad Smart feather Ultralight Hard Shell Case

*Note: this is just a rear cover and the Smart Cover on the front is an Official Apple one.

Got the "Belkin Snap Shield" (€25) for the back and the Apple SmartCover (€39) for the front.. Looks great and gives good protection without the bulk. A little bit pricey but wanted to do it right. Pc World sells both.

New case works with sleep/wake mode.

I use the snugg case. They have a skinny one which is pretty basic but it feels really nice, or theres a chunkier leather one for the clumsier people like myself out there Has a little extra bit at the back so it'll stand up. Its not bad, and I thought it was reasonable. Its on thesnugg website, just google it.

Your very first post on boards and you didn't even read the posts above yours?

I've already got the pictured case on the way for 23 euro thanks to the posts above yours thank you very much.

Calibos

Came back to this thread to post pictures of my Snugg case and re-read my previous post. Appologies to aebrown for being a bit short with him/her. Must have got out of bed on the wrong side that day.

Anyway, heres some pics for anyone that is interested in the Snugg case. I really like it and IMHO its a steal at the 23 euro deal price.

My favorite is the STM Skinny.

Heres a picture of a Snugg iPad 2 case still in its plastic wrap.

Why didn't I post this picture first or indeed why am I posting it at all??



..........because this is not the same Snugg case as in the other photo's. This is a second one that just arrived this morning in the post??!!

My card hasn't been charged for it (yet?)

Hey, no one told me it was a 'Buy One, Get One Free' deal!

My second one arrived today as well and I only ordered the one, so hopefully we won't be charged twice, mine was a case for the new Ipad.

Calibos

Both shipped from the UK store. I guess there must be a bug in the system somewhere triggered when someone orders in dollars from the US site but inputs an Irish(European) address?? I ordered mine last weekend, my card was charged for one case on the 16th and my first arrived in the post Friday just gone.

Has anybody used the www.apple4less.com, they have an eBay store based in Cork. Genuine apple products, just ordered a smart cover used for €20.

May be worth taking a look at for future purchases.

What a joke of a website http://www.bornonthestreets.com/

Cant search for the ipad case.

Found it located under kids

And its only in pink or white.

The groupon deal said it was black.

Guess ill be asking for money back.

Two experiences with Groupon...both bad

whiteandlight

I ordered the griffen survivor case as I'm planning on using mine daily in the classroom with apple tv. I'll post pics when I get it!
