Product Description
Color: Black
Protect - and prop up - your Apple iPad with the Quirky Cloak, a sleek, sturdy case that doubles as a stand! Cloak can be positioned to sit on a flat surface in portrait, landscape, and typing stand positions. Portrait: fold the Cloak's front cover behind your iPad and use the larger plastic support brace located on the product's inside cover to prop up the screen vertically. Landscape: open Cloak's front cover and use it to prop up your iPad screen from behind. The screen can be positioned in different angles using a friction-fit folding mechanism. Typing stand: flip out the smaller plastic support brace on Cloak's inside cover to prop up your iPad screen at a low landscape angle, ideal for typing. The Cloak is constructed from non-slip rubber, with durable plastic on the hinge mechanisms. It measures approximately .77in X 7.97in X 9.72in and weighs approximately 1.2 pounds. To insert your iPad, just pop it into the front of the case.

The cloak is good, not great, but it seems like it's the best that one can get given how many features it has.
I've had my iPad for a little over two weeks now. As soon as I dropped that serious cash on a portable piece of glass, I knew that I needed it protected and ready for both typing and viewing, and I'm a little embarrassed to say that I've been through a fair amount of gear in pursuit of these goals:
-Targus Truss
-Griffin Standle
-Quirky Cloak
The Truss is a good folio style case. It protects the front of the case from impact(when closed) and offers a few different viewing angles. However 1) the typing angle isn't great and 2) I'm weary of leather/thin cloth cases that involve alot of bending back and forth(ruling out a fair amount of what's out there). I want my gear to last.
The Standle is fairly well made, and I found its typing angle excellent. However it does not protect the front, and I found that pretty bothersome after a few days of use.
The Cloak fits the bill in features. It is a folio protects the screen when closed(although you will need a large rubber band to hold it closed), is comfortable to hold like a notepad and allows many viewing positions with a decent typing position(imo not quite as nice a typing position as the standle). However it has two big drawbacks: It is heavy(it will about double the weight of your iPad) and its two foldaway stands are hinged to the inside of the cover using two tiny, weak plastic tabs.
This sounds pretty bad, but really isn't when you consider it against its competitors: The cloth and leather folios will tend to wear where you bend them, so it's not clear to me that they have a greater build than the cloak. Treat the stands with a degree of caution, and they should last you a while. And from talking to customer service, I'm pretty sure they'll send you a replacement stand if yours breaks.
So again, if you can deal with the weight and treat your gear well, this is probably the best stand on the market for those who want to type on and protect their iPad. Hopefully we'll see something that does this in a better, lighter build in the future.

Color Name:Black
Got my green Cloak for 2 weeks. Its everything I expected. I have done my share of research on the best cover for iPad. Even with the negative comments about the Cloak's quality, I decided to give it a try. So far, I like it.
On the negative side:
1. A bit heavy. Yes, but only ounces different from all other covers;
2. Loose rubber around the iPad. It is not a tight fit, but tight enough. So far, it does not affect the protection to or the functions of the iPad. Also makes it easy to remove the iPad to put the screen protector on, or just to clean;
3. Bad quality hinges. I was worry about this, especially after reading many comments on the hinges breaking. After receiving the Cloak, I can see the hinges are tiny, and that they can break easy if rough handling. With this awareness, I open the typing stand and the portrait stand with a little care, not trying to rip them out. No big deal using care.
4. Attract dust. Being of rubbery material, the "tackiness" of the surface makes it more difficult to just brush or wipe the dust away as oppose to wiping a hard plastic surface for example. Black colored Cloak shows the specks of dust more. My green Cloak looks fine. I sometimes use scotch tapes to pick up particles on the cover if too many of them. So far, not a concern for me.
On the positive side:
1. It has a hard front cover and a soft rubber cover for the back. Really protects the iPad well.
2. Very easy to put the iPad in.
3. There is a choice of 4 colors to choose from, show some personality.
4. Best of all, you can open in the landscape view at a number of angles. The rubbery surfaces give sufficient friction for this to work. I do not think the other iPad covers on the market can do this.
5. Then there is the portrait stand and the typing stand, all as part of the front cover of the Cloak. Pull them out to use, snap them back when done. Great features and convenient. Again no other covers on the market have such items.
6. The Cloak works like a book cover. Just open it and you can use the iPad. With the Defender (Otterbox) for example, you have to remove the cover, put it aside or snap to the back. There is less handling with the Cloak.
All in all, the Cloak is not perfect. But with the many features it has I am glad I purchased it.

Color Name:Pink
I've been looking for a great case for my iPad ever since I bought it (I have the original version, and got it on the first day.) I purchased a case at the Apple store, and wasn't happy with it. I searched for one that better fit my needs, and found the Cloak. It took a while to finally become available, but I'm SO glad I waited.
I wanted a case that would protect my iPad, since I didn't have a special bag for it - I usually just throw it into whatever I'm carrying that day. I also wanted something that would make it easier to use. The Cloak fits the bill on both counts.
It's a folio style case, with a cover that protects the screen. The awesome thing is, though, is that the cover has different stands to prop your iPad in pretty much any position in which you'd use it. You can use it in portrait mode, with a stand on the back of the cover. It is infinitely adjustable in landscape mode as the cover serves as a stand. It also has a small prop to make for easy typing. The quality is great, and it was socially developed to boot. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an iPad case.

A cool way to house my iPad.
I really like this iPad case and stand. I do wish it had as good a horizontal stand as it does a vertical one. But, I am very pleased with it! Read more

Durable, but very heavy!

Cheaply made and sure to break
This product was horrible! It arrived broken- the hinge pins for the front cover are little pieces of plastic that I cant imagine lasting any time at all. Read more

great concept, poor execution
this case looks and feels nice, but the hinges and plastic pieces that keep it standing up broke off in a couple of days. very poorly designed. I would steer clear of this item. Read more
