Review: Monoprice $5 Ipad Case (Update Aug.9, some colors back in stock)

Questions for owners of this case (or other TPU cases, I guess):
I ordered two cases, and they came folded up in a box with the chargers & other things I ordered. Now, both cases have little spots around the edge of the screen where they don't seat well--there's a sort of crease left where they were folded.
I'm thinking of taking a hair dryer to it to see if it will relax the material enough to go back to its original shape. Any other suggestions?

Hey everyone,
I was definitely upset when I saw the update e-mail come in that these were no longer available. I didn't get a chance to order them because I was wanting to try and match them with the incase I decided on... guess I should have just ordered clear and been done with it
Anyway, I went to the site today and chatted with customer service to see if they would have any info, this is what they told me and thought it may be useful to others so I thought I would share:
So not much of an answer, but at least it looks like it is just temporary. I really hope that they get them up soon because I really want to get a few of these.

Got mine yesterday, blue, and I'm impressed (and seriously fast shipping - ordered Thursday of last week.) $5? Insane. The TPU is not quite up the quality of, say, Iskin - it's softer and "stickier," but otherwise feels very high quality. I have no concerns about it. No one would know it was a $5 cover.
Two gripes: it has a couple of ugly marks where it was cut from the molding sprew, which I spent some time slowly nicking away at with a very sharp knife, and the material over the volume rocker makes it almost impossible to control the volume. Not sure how to combat that yet, but I'll work on it. If I figure something out that's easy and not ugly, I'll report back.

Back online (black and clear OOS for now). Smoke is in stock.
