Good to hear. Mine still has "electronic shipping info received" on the USPS site. Hopefully it updates tonight. My iPad is suppose to be delivered by UPS tomorrow and was hoping to have a case ready to slip it into.
Just checked mine for the 37th time today and low and behold it was shipped from San diego at 6:26pm. Sweeeeet!
For UK buyers:

With shipping it's still cheaper than the smart cover. Ordered one today.

Just got it. Looks pretty good! Tough to really judge though without the iPad in it. Material seems fine, don't see any problems with workmanship. I like the nylon but I could see dust and dirt getting trapped in the little squares over time.
The front cover does fold around back although trying to tuck in the flap into the slot this way is kind of awkward (it doesn't seem to want to bend in that direction). However, I don't think its a big issue as even with the flap out i don't think it's a big deal.
All in all, looks decent, but the real question is the fit and how it works as a stand once i get home to put the ipad in it.
some quick shots with a crappy phone camera:

It looks nice. The material looks VERY similar to the ripstop nylon Incipio uses on their Kaddy case for the Amazon Kindle which I have.

Thanks for the update. I hope priority mail is 2 days (it used to be). And I hope the case doesn't have the sleep problem when folded back. Thanks again.
I would have ordered one of these were it not for the exposed top/bottom edges
I had concerns about that but ordered anyway - if you look at the pictures closely, the corners of the case protrude beyond the edge of the iPad so it would be verry difficult for any exposed surfaces to be damaged
looks great im still contemplating whether to get this or not if its possible would you do a video review of some sort of it it please thanks. or ifnot more pictures of the ipad in the case
The person that posted the pictures does have an ipad but it is at home and he got the cover delivered to his office. Hopefully he'll post more photos from home and report on the potential sleep problem that other cases apparently suffer from.
I called the company that is selling the cases and specifically ask if there were any problems with the sleep function as there is with the Yooboa cover. His reply was that there was no problem at all. I guess we'll soon find out for sure.
