This review is from: Joby GorillaMobile Ori for iPad 2 (GM12-A1UL) (Personal Computers)
Best case ever! I've tried 6 ipad cases, and this is the undisputed champion. It really changes how you use your ipad 2. Raising ipad closer to your face results in a bigger perceived screen that is easier to read and more ergonomic, with less neck and shoulder strain. Works great on tabletop or your lap. Very stable. It tilts and swivels beautifully, so your ipad is always at the perfect angle.This case is a functional work of art. After using it for an hour, you wonder how you ever lived without it. Before Ori, if I wanted to see the screen up close, I had to hold my ipad in my hands? How primitive! It's made of very lightweight aluminum. It's not as sleek or light as a basic plastic or leather folio, but the ipad pops in and out very easily (much easier than any other case I've tried), so you can easily switch to naked whenever you want sleek/light. I also tried the Yogi (with bendable legs), and it's cool, but the Ori wins hands down (pardon the pun).

iPad 2 cool- a true story,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Joby GorillaMobile Ori for iPad 2 (GM12-A1UL) (Personal Computers)
The following is a true story:On a brilliant Saturday Florida morning my Gorillamobile Ori for iPad 2 arrived. This is my second Ori. When I replaced my original iPad with my iPad 2, I actually called Joby, its manufacturer, to inquire when an iPad 2 model would be available. They would not take me up on my offer to beta test it, but advised I could acquire one legally in June. Coincidentally I had planned to go to the Apple Store that Saturday morning to look at a new Apple iMac MC508LL/A 21.5-Inch Desktop for my wife, so I pulled off the excellent Apple iPad 2 Leather Smart Cover - Black (MC947LL/A) and snapped my iPad 2 into place. Now the Apple Store is the home of cool. The people who are fortunate enough to work there are surrounded by cool. They read about all things Apple. By and large they are the most educated retail sales force in the world today. So as I am look at iMacs, the Apple guy looks at what I am carrying. "What is that?" he asked. Being a lawyer and a wannabe geek, I put it through its paces. I open it, put it in various positions, hand it to him to feel its weight (a bit heavier than a Smart Cover), and demonstrate how it is held in the case (it snaps in). He in turn calls over various sales associates and has me repeat my demonstration. Finally the store manager, a true geek if anyone is, comes over. He is the only one who has ever seen one and properly calls it by its name. The associates are asking why they don't sell it, suggesting they could sell a ton of them. He has no answer. Later, after I have left the store, I am waiting for my wife to finish her shopping and reading my email. I am approached by a man who speaks no English (not uncommon in South Florida). He has an iPad 2 in a SmartCover. He points to my Ori. With a few college years spent taking Spanish to avoid having to take calculus back in the day when computers were the size Winnebagos, we establish he wants to know if he can by a case at the Apple Store. Sadly, he cannot. So where can he buy one. I tell him Amazon. He looks perplexed. I surf over to Amazon and show him the screen. He gets it, and happily saunters off. What this all means is that this is a very, very cool case. It is far more versatile than a Smart Cover. It can be placed at an angle for typing, like the Smart Cover, but unlike the Smart Cover doesn't collapse. And more it can be used as a stand for video (in portrait and landscape) and as a control pad for Keynote (or PowerPoint) projections. There was a reason all those geeks were amazed by this cover. It is truly cool.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I was very excited to receive the Joby GorillaMobile Ori for iPad 2 (GM12-A1UL) through the Amazon Vine program. I tried the case for a day and put my old case back on and ever since then I've been putting off writing this review because it's tough going against the grain. It makes me wonder if my needs are that different from other users. Let me explain what I use my iPad for and then I'll get into the details of the Joby Ori. I share an iPad 2 with my partner and kids. We use it at home to Facetime with family, watch movies, shop, surf the web, check e-mail and Facebook and when we travel it accompanies us as a laptop alternative. I figure that our needs and usage is pretty typical for the non-business user. My current folio-type case is fine for reading or light use but it's tough prop it up to watch a movie and exhausting to hold for long periods of time for Facetime. So I was very, very happy to try the Joby Ori out.First the good: - Fantastic for Facetime or movies. It raises the iPad to a perfect height when it's placed on the desk or as an alternative it can setup so it's a little lower - Magnetic wake sensor (also a bad thing but more on that later) - Easy to rotate from landscape to portrait - Nice slightly inclined mode that's perfect for typing - Build quality seems fine and the hinges are pretty heavy duty The bad: - The case just doesn't close and there's no latch. The hinges are so stiff that it always looks like it's going to pop open. This may not sound like a big deal but it makes the wake sensor useless because the case is almost always opening on it's own and turning the iPad on. This is a huge design flaw. - Uncomfortable to hold when it's not being used as a stand - A bit on the heavy side and adds too much bulk - Not sure it'll last: there are several little tabs and sections of the case than can be pulled out that depend on the tightness of fit with other plastic components to stay put - The materials the case is constructed from just don't feel good to grip.
