from the vietnamese unboxing, the camera looks in a very different location, which if they didn't change the case would block the camera in the new ipad

I don't see a difference, hopefully it is the same. I stopped the video when it shows the camera and then compared it and it looks the same as the ipad 2. When you say very very different in what way?

you're right. At first I thought the camera position was shifted, but looking again it seems the same, just a little bigger

I'm not at a place where i can do this, but if anyone can put photos of the new ipad and the ipad 2 into photoshop and superimpose them to see if the camera is the same location that would answer this question.

The camera is in a very similar location, infact the bottom of both camera's line up perfectly, but because the lens on the new iPad's camera is larger, the centre of the new iPad's camera is slightly higher. (At least that's what it LOOKS like judging by the renderings on the spec pages)

EDIT: Nevermind, I superimposed both images, the camera's are in the exact same location, only difference is the lens is larger on the new iPad.

Ordered last night at about 1130pm central time. No shipping yet. I'm sure there site was slammed and it will just take a few days to catch up.

I ordered yesterday around 6:30PM EST and no word on shipping yet. Do have the charge in my account, though.

Canceled my order because it uses the 2 elastic straps to hold the cover closed. Surprised they don't mention this on their website (or maybe I just missed it).

I'm sure their materials are good for the $99 but that is a ghetto design using elastic straps just to hold it closed. Deal breaker for sure.

Anyone get a shipping notice yet for those that ordered yesterday? :confused:

I really hope it gets here either before the iPad or the same day!

No, I haven't gotten a shipping notification yet and I ordered yesterday too... I was really hoping it would arrive before the iPad, but that doesn't look like it's going to happen...

Ordered mine mid Monday. Still haven't gotten a confirmation.

Spoke w/ Maroo today. They said they finally got all the orders processed last night, so now its just a matter of shipping.

Orders for 1 case ship first, and most should be going out today.

Orders for multiples will most likely ship tomorrow/friday.

It may be worth a call to them to request that your cases are shipped by priority instead of first class mail to get them a little faster.

Mine is marked out for delivery so should get it later today. Never thought I'd have it before I got the iPad.
