I placed an order and was charged on April 12th. I never received any email confirmation, and have sent 2 emails and filled out a contact us form once with no response. I'm thinking that site may be a scam.

id love to have one too but i think i want the new red color... but that site only has them in black
Last night I bought a red one from ebags for only $30.00, they had a coupon for 25% off one item and I used it!
Best iPad 2 case that's light and protective
Just received thus case and wow, it's great the order took almost 2 and a half weeks due to back order but it's finally here and here is the run down. Most people already said the same so I'll further bolster their sentiments
1. This is a really light case. Like with the ipad in it you barely notice there is a case on it. It's not an eggagersation. In real world you won't know the difference
2. The material feels durable. It's scratch resistant and no smudges and everything is cool
3. The gap between the screen and magnets aren't bad at all. Close up pics make it look big but it isn't and the magnets work just fine.
4. Even though the top and bottom are exposed a little it's not that bad but I'll be putting a skin on regardless because I'm a little paranoid.
Overall awesome case, much better than the incase magazine jacket, that thing is garbage I went to best buy to try it my iPad got stuck and it took 15 minutes of prying to get it out.

I have ordered this case from eBags in the Berry color- should arrive next week. That's an encouraging review, and it sounds like what I'm looking for in a case- light, slim, has some grip when carrying. Itstafhim, have you had any problem with the sleep function being triggered when you fold the front cover underneath? I've read a few reports of this.
I've had the case for about a month and the sleep-when-folded-back issue is not serious. As the case gets broken in, the spine of the case gets looser which allows the edges to align when folded back. This is what causes the sleep trigger to engage. If you fold it back and insert the tab in the loop, it prevents the edges from aligning and putting it to sleep. I also think it has somewhat to do with the sensitivity of the sleep trigger in your iPad. I have had three iPads so far and my second one was quite sensitive. There's a YouTube video demonstrating the problem and the iPad in the video is very sensitive. Overall it's not an issue. The case is really great. You will not read many negative comments about it because it is that good.
It hasn't happened to me yet and I fold the top back all the way when using. And the sleep wake works every time. So no problems on my end. It's a great case be sure to try the promo code in this thread somewhere to save a few bucks
Having seen them in person, would you say the berry color is more of a purple or a red? Thanks!
It is definitively more red than purple, to me is not purple at all. It is very pretty. I really like it.
Apparently STM has fixed the magnetic sleep issue and they are going to send me a replacement case as soon as they get more in stock!
Thanks for the input, I was very tempted but went with the safe choice of black. Can't wait for it to arrive.
Took about 2-3 weeks to arrive, but after two days of using this case I have absolutely no complaints. Fits great and gives me assurance about having a protected iPad, without any significant increase in weight.
I recommend this case to anyone on the fence.
(btw, I went with the black and it looks great, although the berry was tempting)

Just got my STM Skinny case today from eBags in the new berry color. This color is beautiful, a rich, dark red. I'm really liking the case so far. It's very light and slim, has good grip when carrying it, the iPad pops in very easily and fits perfectly, and the flap is easy to latch and unlatch (which is a real blessing after fighting with the clasp on the Switcheasy Canvas). There are no issues yet with the sleep function when the top is folded underneath the case. This may be my keeper case
