So of course we at bighugenerd got our shiny, new iPad 3rd generation in-hand, and one of the first things we did was to see if our favorite case would work with it. The Yoobao iPad 2 Executive Leather case is designed for the 8.8mm thick iPad 2, so how would it do when partnered with the slightly overweight 9.4mm thick iPad 3?
Guess what? It works great. End of story, yay!
OK, so let's expand on that:
With a brand new Yoobao iPad 2, we slid the new iPad into the cover. It wasn't hard to do so, and we're pretty sure any resistance was due to the new leather not being stretched out yet. In any case (har har), once the iPad is in, it's very secure, the flap wraps around the device just fine, and we're happy!
The new iPad camera lens lines up well with the leather cutout, all the ports and buttons are where they should be, and the Smart Cover functionality works perfectly. We're not sure we see the point in a new Yoobao case for the iPad 3 being released, except maybe to change the packaging labels to reflect the new iPad compatibility?
So there you go, - feel free to to pick up a new Yoobao Executive Leather Case for iPad 2 for your new iPad 3!
