I emailed Switcheasy about it anyway asking if it was a design problem with the case and if it will loosen up over time and they asked me to send photo's of it and emailed me back saying.

Same here, after getting the following back from Switch Easy yesterday:
Didn't want to wait who knows how long...
I'm going on two weeks myself with Switcheasy. The iFrogz Summit looks great but I can't seem to find a review on it. Does anyone have it in-hand?

I believe it was just released yesterday, so give it time

Now just flip it over:

As unintended as these positions probably are, this one is now my goto position with the Canvas...
feels better and more stable than any while in my lap...
keeps my shirt and gut from covering any screen while in my lap due to the space between ipad and clasp...
super easy to grab with one hand and set it aside...
gives a nice place to rest my stylus when not using...
microfiber not exposed...
not ideal, but serves as a pretty decent "one hand" grip in portrait, ala artist's palette...
AND for racing games like Real Racing HD2, it makes for a PERFECT steering wheel
try it..
For me, the byproduct is better than the intended
If the ifrogz does this...then I may be swayed to get the ifrogz for my wife's ipad2...but I like the clasp on the canvas as mine works ok...keeps the 5 yr old from opening it up on a whim

That's where I bought mine today, after I bought one on the iFrogz site, for a lot more than $36.90. iFrogz was cool about cancelling my order.
Hoping it goes out today... local company and should have it tomorrow if it goes out today.....
But still no iPad!
I got my iPad two days ago, but it's still in the box, and will be, until I get a case for it. Yeah, I'm anal... I bought a Marware case 10 days ago, BACKORDERED. Bought the Canvas, BACKORDERED! This at least is in stock, cheaper than the other two, (at Vebee), and looks like it will be pretty nice. Good things come to those experiencing shipping issues, or something like that...
I am gonna cancel my order on Monday
I am fed up with Switcheasy, no news, no tracking number, no insurance to receive it in the next days even if I ordered it the 25th of April!!! One advice: there are good products from competitors outside, the Marware CEO Hybrid for instance. If you can wait 20 days for your order you can wait, if like me you want to protect your iPad 2 with a good case and not wait for 2012, cancel your order...

Yea i ordered 2 weeks ago and i finally received a shipping notice today. I guess they finally got their shipment in.
Just received my replacement Canvas from Switcheasy and the clasp on this one is fine. Takes no effort to open and close 
Replacement, Read my post above yours
As a matter of fact, I purchased the case from a local apple reseller not thru switch easy website.
Dun think switch easy will entertain my request for a exchange
That didn't work on mine. I pushed on mine with everything I've got till my thumbs were sore, and it didn't loosen that clasp one bit. But I don't care now, because I've got an STM Skinny case, which I really like. I'm returning the Canvas for a refund.
They usually do if you email them a receipt of purchase. I bought an iPhone case from a place in the UK a while ago and had a problem with it and emailed Switcheasy and once I had sent an email of the receipt they sent me out a replacement.
re: the tightness.
Mine was very hard to close out of the box. Was a bit worried. However, if you go through the motions of opening and closing it a few times, it does start to get easier.
The key is to really push the cover back when you open it. Kind of like "breaking the seam" of a new paper back. Once the spine of the case is broken in, it becomes really easy to get the latch on.

Received an email response from Switch Easy yesterday; they are are only shipping black and charcoal right now, not the gray or brown, (I ordered brown). So if you ordered one of the latter 2 colors, still on BO. I appreciated hearing back from them, and my iFrogz Summit is scheduled to be here today, so at least I'll have one of the the two cases I was interested in.
