Belkin and it's official distributors are not shipping the case yet. there's still a chance that these isolated accidents of it slipping through the retail cracks don't represent the final revision of the product. let's see what happens when the 1st batch of preorders is out.
Eh?
This is the new batch, and was a pre-order that was fulfilled. I don't know where you got your info from re: availability, but it's incorrect.
Belkin is shipping Snap Shields and Snap Shield Secures for the 3rd generation iPad. Snap Shields are already in Best Buy, among other places, and Amazon has been fulfilling SSS orders for the last week or so.
