They are extremely rugged, hold your iPad in place, tilt, sit on your lap, on a desk, on a plane, turn the iPad on and off with the magic cover, give you a strap to hold it comfortably, hold business cards or loose papers, and protect every aspect of it with their patented SG Bumper Design:<\/p>\n<div class=\"bbCodeBlock bbCodeQuote\">\n<aside>\n<blockquote><p>What is SG Bumper\u2122 Technology?<\/p>\n<p>Here at Maroo, we know that accidents happen. Sometimes you drop your iPad. Sometimes it falls out of your bag or off a table.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s where our patented* SG Bumper technology comes in. When the iPad was first released, everyone at Maroo rushed out to buy one. (What can we say? We\u2019re geeks.) But we immediately learned that there really weren\u2019t any good designs for iPad covers. They were hard to take on and off and none of them really offered sufficient protection.<\/p>\n<p>So we challenged our design team to come up with a solution.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bbCodeImage LbImage\" src=\"http:\/\/www.maroo.com\/images\/uploads\/sg_bumper_technology.jpg\" alt=\"[IMG]\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There were two challenges\u2014finding a way to protect the iPad screen if it was dropped while in the open position in the case, and providing adequate corner protection. We needed a bumper that wrapped around the back of a chassis, and with the need for corner protection, a four-cornered bumper just made sense.<\/p>\n<p>But in order for the iPad to slip in and out of the case with ease, we needed the right material. We needed something that would hold your iPad securely, but not so much that it was hard to remove or put into the case. We chose a TPU material, and after several rounds of design and testing, we came up with our patented SG (Safe Guard) Bumper design. We liked it so much that it\u2019s now on all of our tablet and e-reader cases, so even if you have a Kindle, you can rest easy knowing the SG Bumper technology is keeping your device secure.<\/p>\n<p>So go ahead. Drop your iPad. With the SG Bumper design, we\u2019ve got you covered.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<p>As well they are really awesome fashion statements. I mean we are bringing our tech with us everywhere, they might as well represent our tastes as well!

The etchings on this thing are top of the line. Leather binding, beautiful dragons, and a really wonderful mix of colors. Who woulda thought yellow could look this badass?!<\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\">Here are some images of my iPad making love to the case:<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bbCodeImage LbImage\" src=\"http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/okkbFdV.jpg\" alt=\"[IMG]\" \/><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bbCodeImage LbImage\" src=\"http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/2nUNnLY.jpg\" alt=\"[IMG]\" \/><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\">Love the accents of yellow in the stitching and how it peaks out from the closed case.<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bbCodeImage LbImage\" src=\"http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/qM0zmpT.jpg\" alt=\"[IMG]\" \/><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\">Mmmm dragon binding. Can&#8217;t get any stronger than that!<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bbCodeImage LbImage\" src=\"http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/BSnCeG9.jpg\" alt=\"[IMG]\" \/><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\">This thing is just perfect from every angle! <i>(minus the random cat hair here or there, that no matter how much you rub down an item prior to a product shot you miss some and want to kill yourself)<\/i><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bbCodeImage LbImage\" src=\"http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/zGfeZHY.jpg\" alt=\"[IMG]\" \/><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\">Khaleesi would be proud.<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bbCodeImage LbImage\" src=\"http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/h7LSUB3.jpg\" alt=\"[IMG]\" \/><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\">(photo from maroo.com, so you could get a good read of the inner label)<\/div>\n<div align=\"center\">Celebrate the Year of the Dragon with the Drogo<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bbCodeImage LbImage\" src=\"http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/K3x2N1J.jpg\" alt=\"[IMG]\" \/><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\">Now you can shoot flames through your iPads Camera! <b>Drakaris!<\/b><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><\/div>\n<p>So this thick skinned, leather bound, iPad case, really is worthy of the title of Drogo. I would highly recommend this for those who A: Love Dragons, B: Love Game of Thrones, C: Love the comfort of knowing they can toss their ipad off a tall building without it breaking and without sacrificing exceptional style.<\/p>\n<p>But wait, that&#8217;s not all! They also have an iPhone case to match it!!!<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><a class=\"externalLink\" href=\"http:\/\/www.maroo.com\/store\/Mobile-Cases\/iPhone-5-Cases\/DROGO[ki]\" target=\"_blank\">DROGO[ki]<\/a><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\">Don&#8217;t let the &#8220;younger brother&#8221; name fool you, this thing is the same etched leather casing as the iPad case and just as rugged, but in a slim, lightweight package to match your iPhone 5!<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bbCodeImage LbImage\" src=\"http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/Yizygq7.jpg\" alt=\"[IMG]\" \/><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bbCodeImage LbImage\" src=\"http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/XRhOADr.jpg\" alt=\"[IMG]\" \/><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bbCodeImage LbImage\" src=\"http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/Or1mYDa.jpg\" alt=\"[IMG]\" \/><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\">Sexy sexy packaging.<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bbCodeImage LbImage\" src=\"http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/gMbRqHV.jpg\" alt=\"[IMG]\" \/><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\">Looks awesome with the White iPhone and Black. It feels nice in your hand, and has a ton of detail in the etching as well!<\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><b>The Good:<\/b> Overall I would say these are two cases that I would recommend. They are strong, polished, detailed, and just fucking cool looking. The manufacturer is really helpful and threw in a ton of cool extra features to the case so you really have no reason to take it off.<\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>Easy-carry hand strap<\/li>\n<li>Interior pocket for notes and business cards<\/li>\n<li>Smart magnet functionality<\/li>\n<li>Includes camera cutout<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div align=\"left\"><b>The not as good:<\/b><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\">The only downside with the iPhone case is the bigger openings on the bottom and sides allowing more chance for scratching. This isn&#8217;t a full body protecting case as much as a fashion statement. It does protect your phone if you put it face down though, so that is a plus.<\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\">The iPad case, the bumpers are a bit thinner than the earlier version, which I don&#8217;t know if that was a technical choice and I am not sure how much it effects the overall protection in a drop test(won&#8217;t be doing that any time soon) but either way it will provide you with excellent protection for your precious iPad while you watch Game of Thrones!
