Not hearing positive things =( Will see when I get mine next week, should be before Wednesday I hope.

Not sure what else I would get otherwise, my smart cover is getting collected on Friday for a return, might be keeping it and buying a feather case or something.

I got mine. Love the case so far. Sleep/Wake works perfectly and it folds back just fine. The blue color looks really really nice too.

Thanks, can't tell if I like it or not! Will have to make up my mind when I get it :) Just the material looks a bit horrible to hold =(

I chose it because of the material. I like texture and this texture is precisely what I imagined. To each his own though!

:( Sounds like this one may be going back to the store pretty quickly. I was a big fan of the Sknny I had on my iPad 2 and figured this was just resized for the new model.

I got my shipping notice from Radtech yesterday, so I expect it to be here on Monday or Tuesday, and I will make a decision then. I'll try to post some photos is no one beats me to it.

Just get the iPad 2 version. It looks fine with the iPad 3. I had to do some surgery on mine to make to sleep magnet work properly though.

I like the texture too, at least of the iPad 2 version, but I'm not crazy about the bright blue color. I like more subtle colors I guess. I wish there was a grey or a green.

The mushroom color seemed pretty subtle and actually looked pretty awesome. I want a red case. Considering this same case but I think I'll go with the Odoyo instead.

Definitely post some pics of the 'shroom color. I don't know what to expect from the photos they have posted. It almost looks like it has a little bit of purple in it in some photos and others look like a shade of grey.

Mushroom pix. Seems a perfect fit so far. Easy to click in. Not moving around. VERY light weight!

can anyone do a review on this case? I ordered 2, I like the lexington and this seems similar, just more colors.

Still waiting for mine to be sent.. It was meant to be sent like yesterday as stock was apparently arriving in the UK on Friday. The retailer said they are unsure, emailed STM and the guy replied saying stock landed yesterday. So hopefuly it gets to the retailers quickly.

Thanks for posting photos. Could you post one of it with the cover closed? Somebody said something about the cover flap fitting differently with the front of the iPad than previous version. Is it true that the magnets do not not hold it closed anymore?

This is true. It doesn't stay shut with the magnets. Not really bothersome since the flap is so secure.

Same with mine. I didn't have the iPad 2 one to compare but it looks as if there is only one magnet about one 1/4 way down the cover. Perhaps if there was a second one at the same spot on the lower half then that would be enough. I agree however that the cover is secure, especially with the strap enclosed

Looks like a solid case. No bezel coverage, simple stand position (I'm getting tired of the fold-out folios), super thin, but I'm worried about the strap. How easy is it to put in and out?

Reason I ask is that some cases, like the Marware CEO take a fraction longer to open and the easy sleep/wake function is almost pointless.

This case is looking awesome. Can't wait to see a YouTube review of it.

Well....just got mine today (black). Nice case, but unfortunately the sleep/wake function isn't working. I've contacted RadTech to see how it can be addressed....maybe I just got a dud???

Bought the same one. iPad 3 version.

Very happy with the fit, but find the build quality - specifically where the nylon is glued to the plastic - a little suboptimal. Strands of nylon sticking out, slightly irregular edges....

Could be better but overall I'm reasonably happy with the case. Very secure when it's closed. Magnet on the lid works perfectly.
