When I click on your profile, I am not able to send you a message either. I could email you.
I've just created a throwaway email address: buyingalanocase (at) hotmail (dot) com.
Once we've opened the communications there, I'll pass on my direct (real) email address. I'm sure you understand that I don't want to post my email address in an open, public forum....

Anyone else noticing a little temp/humidity effect?
I really like my Alano, and it is my go-to case for day-to-day use. Something about the way the bamboo frames the iPad is really appealing.
But it is cold up here in MN, and kind of dry. Being a natural material, I expect a little movement. I have noticed a little bow, mainly by the dock-end. Perhaps because the bamboo is thinnest here. Anyone else notice this? When it gets cold one corner pops out a little. Again, being leather and wood, I am willing to cut the case a little slack

Yeah, for some odd reason no matter I try to get my iPad in it never sits even to the bamboo and it's causing the front cover to bend a little and when the stap is off the cover hangs about .5 an inch off the Frame unlike when the photos show it flat on the iPad. Also with the strap on it still sits about .2 of an inch off the iPad :/ its little things that for some reason are starting to bother me to death.
I just got the Marware Ecoview and I love it. Doesn't smudge like the apple case. Makes it look like a professional notebook. The suede is super soft. It props up to view and or type. It's very affordable.

It is a gorrrrrrgeous case omg!!!!! I love it. Only thing missing for me seems to be the ability to put the case into a propped up position for typing...
Thinking of selling my alano. Anyone interested?
I had communicated earlier in december with someone here, but thought that I was going to get a local buyer, but that local buyer fell through.

I'd be interested in buying it but i need to know if there is anything wrong with it and the reason you want to sell it.

bb88,
So are you saying that normally the alano doesn't have that sticker on it? I would prefer mine not to have it at all.
Bob
Thanks for letting me know. Just hoping that someone from Portenzo can get back to me and respond to my email so that I can actually order the case.
Been waiting almost 72 hours now and have tried emailing them several times already.
Bob
Hi Budfoot. If you don't have a buyer today I'd be interested. Was going to get the Yoobao Slim or Magic based on price, but depending on what you are asking for I'd likely be interested in purchasing your case. I'm in Providence so *might* be local depending on how close/far you are from Boston.
I can't seem to send you a PM (just registered today) so hopefully you can send me a message.
Cheers,
Grant

I have been having the same issue! I emailed Portenzo on Friday (yes, I know that you should never email a company over the weekend but I was super excited!) then again on Monday. Does anyone know of another way to get ahold of them? For that matter, does anyone know how much the Teju or Boar cases run for? How do you add the stylus option on to your order if it isn't listed on the product page? Thanks!
