When it comes to book-like folio cases for iPad, San Francisco-based DODOcase was the leader in creating a design that used traditional book-binding techniques and a wooden tray to protect the tablet in a classy way. The company has just announced a new interior tray design that adds significant strength to DODOcases.

According to a press release from the company,

• The new tray is 330% stronger than the previous version and about 2x the strength on average of the competitive products we tested against.
• This redesign reflects our desire to make and provide the best product possible and allows the DODOcase to withstand increased drop impact.
• The new tray will be available on all iPad products starting 7/31 - and is the product of an extensive design process that included looking at traditional wood crafts that focused on strength as well as usability: from the science of baseball bats and axe handles to the art of Japanese Bokken wooden sword construction, we wanted to make the DODOcase even stronger.

TUAW will be doing a full review of the newly-redesigned case in the near future. In the meantime, enjoy the video below and dream of a colorful DODOcase on your iPad.
