I ordered my case I think on Wed, and got the case on Saturday. I live in DC so it had to cross the US. I got a case with the old logo as well, but it was what I expected. I do like the new logo though. I just want to thank this board cause I was looking for a case like the Moko II and after reading all the rave reviews I decided to pull the trigger and purchase after using the Facebook 20% off coupon code. Just wanted to share my experience.
Got a tip for us?

Nope. There's a ton of us on redflagdeals.com... nobody has received their 50% off Moko yet.
Just received my case in the uk today, first batch. Great case but yes the magnets don't work. Already had my replacement shipped anyway so should be getting that soon hopefully. Very nice leather smell is my strongest impression.
Same status for me (shipping to Manitoba) and no sign of it. A few other Canucks on redflagdeals.com said they received them (Vancouver and Toronto) and the status with USPS never changed.
Yeah they seem to be arriving today for most Canadians who ordered when the 50% off deal was on.
I ordered from Toronto and I got my Maunga case today 
. Great quality. Maybe the Moko cases are backordered and that's why it's taking longer.

Our Moko cases are not on backorder at the moment.
I received my Mana case yesterday and I have 2 problems.
1. No camera hole, which I thought was very strange.
2. The magnets aren't working, which I was expecting after all the other reports.
Maroo have been contacted and I've been told a new case will be on it's way.

Hi there, how long did it take from your case being dispatched to receiving it in the UK? I've been waiting 7 days since I received the notice that the case had shipped and I'm hoping it will arrive by the weekend.
So I just got my case and the magnets work fine, I checked my invoice and this is the first case they sent me, not the second that is meant to be fixed.
Am I lucky or something? It works perfectly, closing the case and opening it back up makes the iPad screen turn on or off with no issues.
Edit: Oh strange, Maroo emailed me saying I received my replacement before my original case because of a USPS mix up, that explains why my Kindle cases didn't arrive.

Hi guys, were is the cheapest, most reliable to place to buy a Maroo case in the UK. Is everyone here from the UK going to get theirs through Amazon.co.uk?
Contact your local third party Apple retailer or Computers Unlimited to possibly see where we are distributed in your area.
Why not buy from Maroo direct? You would benefit from great customer service and it would be cheaper than what a 3rd party seller would be asking. The only thing is that it will take 8-10 days to get here, but I'm happy to wait.
Actually im curious about a european seller.
The reason is that when it comes to Denmark it will cost me 30$ in a tax fee, then add the price of the case and shipping and then they will charge me another 25% to that, so it will be cheaper finding a dealer in Europe.
I did find one though, claiming they had the new model, just that they havent received the stickers for it yet, allso claiming that a lot of people got it for the new iPad and it worked for everyone, they didnt know if i could return it if it wasnt working, so after some debating in the store, i finally got them to test it (even though they claimed they had) and it didnt work with the magnets, but that is not Maroo´s fault, simply just a store that didnt care about customers

I would be wary of buying a case from a 3rd party seller for the time being, I can't see any of them receiving ones that work with the new iPad any quicker than people buying direct. I'm not trusting buying any make of case in retail stores in the UK, I trust Maroo right now simply because they were able to react quickly to the magnet issue. I'm not sure if some of the bigger manufacturers would be able to do the same so quickly.
As for the cost, with the FB discount, $5 delivery I can't see any additional import tax for people living in teh UK as it falls under a threshold in terms of the actual value of the case. I hope so anyway..!
Anyway, now I just want my case.
