Ipad 2 Cases

[HKWrite12]

Yes, you are right, BUT I purchased it already and I LOVE IT!!! In my twisted little world that I reside in, it doesn't seem right to purchase "second best" (their smart cover versions) when I already have the best (the original) the one that was made specifically for my baby. But again, I'm the only occupant on this island

Right on!!! Smart cover just looks like I'll tear it up too quick!!!

I'll try to make improvements to the list with links when I can. Please reply if you have any information that I'm missing or can think of any covers that should be added.

QUESTION:::
I might venture off my island to visit others
Which is better
DoDo, Treegloo, Grovemade??? Help please

 

[HKWrite12]

Treegloo and grove are getting awesome first hand fb reviews. Do know that grovemade does offer a full warranty.

 

[blessed]

No, I was not aware of the warranty. Thanks!

 

[HKWrite12]

No, I was not aware of the warranty. Thanks!

Sorry I wasn't as descript as necessary. I was texting in class. Shh

Grovemade has a great product N the guys seem to work very hard. However, I guess because they are still little, they only offer 50% credit towards next item. It's more like a membership gimmick. That was a slight turn off for me. I know that it's a special product but I believe one should stand behind their products.

 

[blessed]

Wow, I agree; whatever you offer you should stand behind it. Why is something so small (a case) causing such difficulty!?!?!?!?

 

[Swingman]

if you drop something and it breaks, then does the manufacturer have any blame? Should there be an expectation of a free replacement?

I'm not sure what's normal with other case's replacement plans but if I'm responsible for breaking something, I think a company offering any discount on replacement is pretty good.

 

[bluelans]

thanks for your list , can you post some pics

 

[blessed]

SWINGMAN:

It was my understanding that the replacement is on "their" product NOT apple. If something goes wrong with their product, instead of a complete refund they will give you a credit of 50% off towards something else. However, I feel a company should stand 100% behind their product.

 

[Swingman]

They offer a 6 month warranty on the product.

The 50% replacement is if you are the one responsible for breaking it or after the 6th months is over.

It's not the most consumer friendly policy but I think it's good enough as people can probably find a defect in the first 6 months.

My apologies blessed. I didn't mean to misinform you. I didn't see the 6 month policy. Thanks for the heads up swingman. I really wasnt trying to discourage you blessed. I was like the 20th person on the pre order list up until this weekend. It and the otter are the same price, and I just decided durability of chiqueness.

Again best wishes on whatever product you purchase. You have to submit to your tastes not mine.

 

[blessed]

True. Thanks to both you and Swingman. I'm waiting for a response; I requested a special order to accommodate my Smart Case. I'll keep you guys posted. Thanks again!!

:-((
Need I say more?????????

 

[Swingman]
