a shame they were not quicker - but too late as others work just as well

There are some minor differences...
incipio have a large section of the top and bottom unprotected (thats what I am using before the zum case is here)
i blason ... i dont think they have the smart cover lock to prevent accidental detachment
macally... dont know why there is a cutout on the side... no reason!!
so far.. I still think the ZUM has the best design among all the existing cases for smart covers...
just my 2 cents...
Actually I Blason and Zum SC seem to be identical. Same cutouts and same smart cover locking mechanism. Can't go wrong with either.
Edit: I Blason has many more colors to choose from and costs $5 less on amazon. Not sure which one has the better materials but both seem like excellent choices.

Ah.. thanks for pointing out... i was looking at the other iBlason iPad 3 case... looks similar but iBlason does not protect the speaker area and it is thicker...
it's obvious you don't have any in your hand to compare - the iblason has auto lock and is identical in every way to the zum except cheaper
\
the macally sits the smartcover down inside the case and protects it from scratching with the corners - the slight cut out is to allow you grab the cover
the zum is great case but thier time has passed - others are as good and cheaper....and I own 3 zum's, so no cheerleader here...and their snaps are untested...
Does the iblason cover the speaker in the same way as the Zum or is there a hole there On Amazon it looks like there's a hole, I'd prefer to have full back coverage.
I received my Zum yesterday and have to say that I'm very happy with it, I do wish that they had a black version for sale right now but the frost is fine for now. Personally I prefer a case that covers the speaker hole like the Zum does, just that little extra protection adds to my piece of mind. I did notice that the hole for the camera is very slightly off center, not a dealbreaker but you'd think with the delay in production that everything would be spot on. I'm on the road for work and won't have a chance until the weekend to post photos or compare it to the old Zum to see if there is any difference in the corners.
Anyone know if there's a rear cover like the Zum but that has a metal or magnetic panel to secure the Smart Cover when it's folded back around the rear of the iPad? Belkin makes a rear cover with a metal panel but it doesn't have the Smart Cover securing feature.
Hi

I think they have problem to meet the demand... they only have frost color for US market....
actually I wanted a pink color oneI doubt they'll release a different version. That said I think a mod can be done without looking "ghetto." I think it would be pretty straightforward rounding the edges on a small strip of EMI absorber tape - sort of like what's in this video:
iPad 2 Belkin Snap Shield Case mod
The ZUM SC Ultimate gets a 5/5 from me, much better than the Belkin, SwitchEasy and Incipio IMO.
