I got mine today, think i got lucky.

The moleskin is perfect
The case is perfectly straight
The iPad stays it in when upside down

oooh, i thought the cover was bend a little, but after using it an hour or so, holding it my hand i've "flattened" it perfect now :)

Not done the upside down test but one of the rubber feet doesn't have enough stick under it so when I push the iPad down one of the feet pops up. The case isn't perfectly straight as well which is really irritating me, no idea how you can't put a piece of wood onto the cover properly. It's not out by much but it makes the whole thing look wonky to me :mad:
 
Starting to wonder if you can get any sort of perfect case every case has its faults it seems...
The dodo's have the build quality, while my snugg case has a flap to keep the iPad in place and well the flap doesn't always do the job. It will never come out but its just annoying
 
mine isn't perfect, the lid is not perfectly flat, not as extreme as Doug's but you get the idea. Using it open with flap on the back and the hand squeezing it slowly bends it back though. You can't tell at a glance anyway.

The most important part is that it stays in !
 
Well I got mine, think I got one of the worse ones as the spine is noticeably marked at the top (either squished slightly or dropped on a corner). However the lid was slightly bent but is now flat after its been out of the box. The ipad sits flat and can be held upside down and fits perfectly. I am sure my case would like this after 2 weeks of use anyway. So I am not totally upset.

For a now £50 case after tax (pretty much what I expected it to be). I would say the exercise wasn't worth it, and if it was my order directly with Dodocase I would probably return mine. As it is, ill try live with it for a day or 2, but I can imagine it will be on ebay by next week.

I would like to thank tsinc for putting his money up front for this, as it shows a lot of trust. Thanks for answering all the emails promptly too! My dissatisfaction isn't a reflection of his hard work. More the final product. I am sure a more perfect one of these is a sight to behold and would be amazing.
 
got my case today and it is ok... but thats all I would say.. nothing special, I think the case is way overrated to be honest, might even sell it on eBay lol
 
I still stand by my earlier comments, the snugg case is cheaper and does the job well enough. My only gripe is the same as above. Sometimes the flap holding the iPad doesn't hold it perfectly in place but it's good enough.

could do with putting something under the iPad maybe to try and make it thicker that might help.. maybe

if i never wanted it out of the case i would just stick it down... but i do so :(

Well my screen protectors came a couple of days ago: 1st attempt i got it 90% perfect apart from one air bubble which i couldn't live with.. a few more attempts and i binned that protector. 3 left

Got it done within 10 minutes :) The positioning is a tiny bit to high and to the left and only air bubbles on one side at the edge so im happy with it. Feels totally different though so hope it doesn't annoy me

I took off the screen protector today. Its like someone opened the curtain and i can see again! I had one of those cheap ones, it was harder to clean than without it on.
 
I'm not overly impressed with the quality - If it were perfect then it would be a different matter but the wood on mine isn't straight and the iPad doesn't sit flat in it. The 'turn it upside down' test fails.

It's not Tom's fault at all and I've no qualms in paying for it (and have done so), it's just a shame this has happened. I've already said at work that I may sell it and someone has already expressed an interest. If I sell it, I'll take a big hit but it's a lesson learned I think.
 
I shall be fetching mine from the sorting office tomorrow but am not expecting anything outstanding going by the comments.

If it's crap I'll just buy something else. Potentionally a lesson learned.
