[QUOTE="howieho, post: 1622023, member: 335823"] So, I happened to get an Apple's OEM SmartCase. Friend of mine gave me his cause he didn't like it. Comparing it to the roocase, there are some distinct differences. The nicest thing about the Apple case of course is the feel of the leather they use. It really does have a rich feel to it. It's also super lightweight. However, given the weight, you would think that the roocase is a lot thicker, but it really isn't. The ipad does feel a little heavier with the roocase, but it also feels more protected. The Apple case fits perfectly and every inch of it appears to be covered when the case is closed. This is nice, but given how thin and flimsy the back of the case feels, I don't think it would offer very much protection. I also don't like how the crease on the spin sticks out. The nice thing about the roocase is that since the cover is not porous like leather, there is no worries about staining the back or cover. I really do like the look and feel of the Apple case, but I definitely would not have bought it myself at the $80 they charge. In conclusion, I'll probably go back to the roocase since I did like having the option to stand up my ipad in portrait mode every so often and I just feel more safe when I leave the house with it. The Apple case is more of a stay at home case. [/QUOTE]
