I think I've made my mind to buy this one. Love that it doesn't cover the bezel. I'm just waiting on reviews/pictures to see how stable it is as a stand for when you're typing on your lap. :)
 
Just kidding

Got my tracking number around 7:30PM EST
will post pics once i get it!

Got Email from them again. They were prepping for shipping yesterday because they had 1000's of orders. The were pre-printing labels and such. They will ship today!

yeah that's what i figured.. it was probably too late yesterday for fedex to pick mine up so i'll probably get it tomorrow. ah well!
 
So when you have the cover folded back flat can you secure the tab so it doesn't flap around like the smart cover does? If you can secure it then I am ordering today....I hope someone knows the answer. thanks

Ordered black, couldn't wait for an answer to my question above however if anyone knows the answer please reply - thanks again!
 
Got my shipping notice too yesterday. Was really hoping it was going to go out yesterday though doesn't look like it. My iPad should arrive Thursday so that would have been perfect timing. Oh well. Looking forward to the first reviews.

Guessing here, but with the tab thingy attached to the back of the case open from both sides, I would guess you could tuck it in when the cover is folded flat over the back.

that's what I'm hoping for, just tuck that flap between the back of the ipad and case - I guess nobody has this case yet to verify
 
reviews and pics...

I'm excited to read the first few batches of mini-reviews. Hopefully, they will be positive! Although if there's a big design flaw like in the Yoobao, I can probably cancel my order as it has ETA of 4/12 but am crossing my fingers, this case will deliver the goods. Don't forget to post pics !
 
a bit annoyed that mine hasn't shipped yet even though i got the tracking # on Monday.. ah well as long as i receive it by the weekend

I'm with you too.

Did you have yours sent priority mail? I did, and received a tracking number with USPS. When I try to track it it only says that the info was sent electronically. I think with priority mail, that's all I'll get. I'm hoping I'm right and that it has actually shipped. Either that, or they're using the "shipping date" in order to charge my credit card already.

I used Fedex Intl' Priority. They're pretty good with tracking updates, and i would have gotten it on the 5th if it was indeed shipped out as its usually only 1 day from my experience.

As someone noted, they likely pre-printed all the labels (which automatically sounds out the tracking # to customers) but have yet to actually have them picked up by the courier. Hopefully its soon.
 
It is highly likely that the shipping notice is just pre-printed labels.

Frankly, I am skeptical that this will ship before the 12th.

ebags has the Skinny as well and their ETA is also the 12th.

Just emailed and they said mine is shipping from their California warehouse today.
 
Hopefully someone has some reviews. I've put this on my maybe list of cases along with the marware. I wish they all came out on the same day so we can do a comparison.
 
Ditto. Telling me it shipped two days ago (via email) and then to find out that all they did was generate a shipping label and then in another two days being told it 'should' ship today is not good business practice.

Agreed. I hope this case is worth it.
 
It looks nice but I don't like how the top and bottom are exposed like that.
