Sh0k thanks for the pictures, just ordered one myself can't beat it for 7.50. Will be fine for my needs.
Oh I remember that mess very well, I got a credit for mine after a month then got one in the mail 2 months later, the seller was a joke. The case was nice, sold it with my iPad.
I ordered mine on Monday and got it today. Kind of messed up the hole I made for the microphone using a dremel, I guess too much power
But I will keep it as a temporary case until something good comes out from a third party.
One thing about the case is that the hole for the sim card is open and I have a WiFi only iPad.
Ordered Mon, Mar 14, 2011 at 11AM. USPS tracking shows it will be here (NJ) tomorrow. I paid for "Regular Express 3~5 days" shipping, which is USPS priority. $10.74 shipped after the coupon.
I ordered and received in only 3 days both the clear and the black TPU case. I also have their screen protector, which I have yet to install. I have to say, so a $6 case, this thing is fantastic. I'm going to need to hole punch the top for the microphone, but the fit is perfect. I can't believe how nice this is for the money.
If you need a cheap case, or something to hold you over until you find the right case for you, I highly suggest this.
I can post pictures of the solid black if anyone is interested. I'll let you know how the screen shield is too after I put it on.
Edit: I'm actually considering cutting the left side away from this case so the smart cover attaches to the ipad... It's such a low cost case, I may go ahead and order another to try this.

I got the clear case today and for $7.64 shipped, it's probably the most bang for the buck I'll get out of any of the iPad accessories I end up buying.
I used a Sharpie to mark the mic rectangle and then slowy used a pen knife to cut away the marked area. Testing Dragon Speak it works great.
Here's some pics.

I ordered Thursday morning around 8am and Still have not received shipping notification. I checked and it is still showing as not being processed. Kind of disappointing was hoping to have it soon, and purchased a ghost-armor for the back hoping they are compatible.
I ordered the same version of this shell for my iPad 1 last year. When it finally arrived, it didn't fit perfectly, but for the price, it did the job. (Although the company did offer exchange it, I decided it wasn't worth the trouble)
A couple of days ago I ordered one for my new iPad 2. My reasoning is the same as the last time: The price is great and even if it isn't used longterm, it will provide some basic protection for the gadget while I wait/shop around for a case I really do want.

Sure, here you go. They were hard to shoot, as the surface is high gloss, mirror like. It does however cover the entire bezel so the front looks solid black. I bet this would look good on a white iPad.

Not at all. It is a flimsy TPU skin that adds negligible weight. While not rubberized it does add a bit of grip to the back of the device.

Daremo, have you tried the screen protector yet? I ordered both this weekend and was just curious.
Can you please post pics of the cut job and how it looks with the smartcover?
thanks in advance
which screen shield are you talking about? do they sell a cheap one on their site, I only see ones for the original ipad there

Forgive my terrible photography and clumsy cutting, but hopefully this gives you an idea. It works like a dream.

They only sell the ones for the iPad 1. I bought it with the intention of cutting hole for the camera and mic. I figured a sharp exacto should be easy enough. Also, for < $3.00, I am ok going ghetto on the screen shield if it does its job.
