Moko Slim Fit Folio: Near Perfect $10 Ipad 3 Case (Pix added)

sosnow said:
Got mine today.
It's a great buy for $10. But unlike others on this post I cannot get the on/off function to work. It appears that the corner clamps prevent the lid from fully closing. I also tried taking the the iPad out of the case and pressing it against the magnet area but that also did not work.
Iam also wandering if over time the clip on the cover will leave a mark.
I am going to try it for a few days and see how it goes. I figure I am only out 1 beer at a blackhawks game:)

Other than that feature, how do you like it?

Well it looks like it's going to be the luck of the draw on whose sleep/wake feature works or doesn't. It is only $10 though so even if mine doesn't work, I'll be okay with pressing the power button.

I like the case, but I would not have paid that much more. I don't like having to unlock the left side grips to put into the 2 stand placements. The 6 holders/grips seem a little too big, but for $10 I cannot complain too much.

I do like the overall thinness of the case. I come from a Portenzo case that I have been using for about 1 year and I am looking to go thin. The look and feel are very nice and construction seems solid.

I hope mine does work.... It would totally suck if it didn't... When did you order yours ? How'd you get it so fast, ordered mine the same day OP posted with overnight shipping... And it's coming in today?
 
Just got mine. Fit and finish is flawless, what a beautiful case, I have owned a ton for iPad 1 and 2 and this looks the most professional by FAR and is everything I always wanted, so pleased. The iPad is rock solid in all the screen positions and typing positions.

That said the magnet on off does not work at all I am sad to say. I never used the feature even when I had a smart cover so it does not effect me, but the smart cover feature when I turned it on completely doesn't work at all, not even intermittent, so if you wanted that it is a deal breaker.

The case design and quality at this price, if you don't want the magnet on/off, is the best I have ever, ever seen.
 
Has anyone else here aside from the OP received the case with the sleep/wake function working?

My order is still being processed but will be cancelling if it's likely that the sleep/wake function doesn't work.

all I can say is I love the fit and finish of the case and the sleep wake function does not work at all. I tried with an apple smart cover and it worked fine so the issue is with the case. i still love it, but I would love it more with the sleep wake function working.
 
^ Great! Mine hasn't shipped yet so I should receive one with sleep/wake feature that works!

nice part of my moko case is there is no logo of any kind unlike the poetic version... if they will replace my defective sleep/wake version in the near future without a big hassle that will great but if i have to start boxing this to "exchange" it etc. i will live it with because i love it and hopefully in 6 months when they are selling it for $10 again and working right i'll just buy another.
 
sosnow: i never got that email and i received my case today. not sure how to contact the seller, can you post the email address to respond to? thanks...
 
Well mine is "out for delivery" this morning so should be able to check on the magnet issue soon. I use a passcode so it is not as important for me but still saves a button press.

Still can't believe I ordered this on Sunday for ten bucks with normal shipping and am getting it today. I almost went for next-day delivery, which would have been delivered today too. Glad I passed on it (saved a whopping 3.99 lol).

Mine arrived today. The sleep wake definitely works. It's a nice feeling material and should travel well. The part that secures the case when closed is a snug fit and will not open accidentally, but seems like it'll need to be worn in a bit.

WTF is up with my luck... I just got mine in this morning.. and I can confirm that it DOES not work at all, as if there are no magnets to begin with.... other than that.. you guys will like this case.. Im gonna contact customer support and see what they have to say..
 
got mine today, sleep does not work, unless I'm missing something in Settings to activate it. Still a decent case.
 
that sucks

i hope my sleep on/off works tomorrow when i get it

i have a feeling it wont considering Apple didn't even tell the big name manufacturers (my Marware which I am returning does not work)

new owners please post pics of slim profile
