I preordered an iPad 3 (a process that took me a couple of hours thanks to the overwhelming traffic Apple’s online store received after the close of the announcement event) and have been thinking, as always, about the accessories I’ll get for it. While a screen protector is certainly on my list, I’m also thinking that I’ll go back to DODOcase for a case this time after trying out the offerings from Portenzo and Treegloo for previous iPads.
I’ve almost always chosen plain black cases for my iPad since I don’t want to draw attention to it when I’m out and about. However, DODOcase has a hardcover case made in partnership with Moonbot Studios in honor of the Oscar-winning animated short film, The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore. The Morris Lessmore DODOcase case has a red faux leather cover and is foil stamped with the main character’s signature hat and cane on the cover and the letter M on the spine. I found the short film to be charming and see my own love of books and reading reflected in it.
(You can buy the short film directly from the iTunes Store here and there’s also an interactive iPad book app for it here.)
DODOcase has said via Twitter that its Morris Lessmore case for the iPad 3 won’t be available to order for a little while yet so I’m going to have to be patient. If you preordered an iPad 3, what accessories do you plan to buy for it?
Looks like the Morris Lessmore DodoCase is now compatible with iPad 3 and iPad 2, according to their site.
Danny,
Thanks for the heads up! I was getting impatient last week and had checked Dodocase’s site and saw the same thing and placed my order. Of course, a couple of days later, they announced that they would also be offering this case with a camera hole in a few weeks. I then emailed them asking if my order could be changed to include this option. Dodocase responded with a yes but before I could get back to them to confirm the change, I got a shipping notice that my case was already on the way to me and it’s going to arrive today. At this point I don’t feel like waiting anymore so I’ll just keep the one I get and forego the camera hole altogether. I’ll post about it sometime this week!
Hi Marianne,
Did you receive the new Morris Lessmore Dodocase? I have purchased a new iPad and was hesitating between Portenzo and the Morris Lessmore Dodocase. Having had both, which one has your preference?
Thanks,
Marianne (from Switzerland) 🙂
Marianne,
I did receive it! I’ve been using it for a couple of weeks now and love it. I had hoped to post my review of it over the weekend but didn’t get to do that, unfortunately. I’m aiming for this week if I can squeeze it into my work week somehow. I definitely recommend the Dodocase. Portenzo also makes very good cases and I don’t feel like there’s any substantial difference in quality between the two, to be honest. However, I do find that I like the styles and options of what Dodocase offers a bit more. Also, I found that the Portenzo held my iPad a little more securely than expected, making it very difficult to remove compared to the Dodocase.
I hope that helps! Do let me know which one you choose!

Thanks Marianne! I guess I’ll go with the Dodocase, will let you know when I get it!
