"Item is being shipped tomorrow. There has been major
delay with dhl. We are very disappointed in
ourselves that this is happening with all of our
orders.

Yup, giving them neutral feedback. I may be getting it a week later but as long as I flipping get it I wouldn't feel right lowering their score. Needs at least the neutral feedback to put on the record they did not live up to their own same day shipping policy.

nope, me too. earlier today he told me it would ship today, now i got an email saying tomorrow. i wrote and asked that he upgrade shipping to priority; we'll see if he does. I doubt it, but as i told him, if there is a problem, it is not the end users who should bear the price, but his supplier...
i got a naked ipad i'm reluctant to take anywhere
His shipment is coming *to* him via DHL. He is shipping *out* via USPS.
If it ships tomorrow, I get it by the end of the week, and it looks/works OK then I will be happy. His communication (with me at least) has gotten better over the last two days. And he finally removed the listing on eBay.
I just hope when we do get the case, it's the same one that the OP got and not a cheaper one that the seller quickly ordered so he'd be able to ship to us quicker.
I didn't weave through all the speculation posts but my eBay TPU cases on my iPhone lift every single screen protector I use (ZAGG, Best Skins Ever, PowerSupport USA). Does anyone know if this TPU case is lifting people's screen protectors? This would imply I am talking to those who have received the case.
I ordered one of these for $8.50. I was hoping that it might replace the $50 Belkin that I have, but I have my doubts. The new Belkin is on my iPad right now, and really looks great. The new design with the trimmed back lip looks to be the right way to go. If this cheaper version has a larger lip, it will go back. I don't want stuff getting trapped under there during normal use. Belkin made a good call by changing it, and I haven't experienced it coming off as a couple of others have reported. It's got a very tight fit.
Some of the cheaper plastics may yellow faster over time as well, depending on how they are manufactured. Food for thought.

Yea, it's the clear one that's the problem. Once again it was supposed to ship today but doesn't look like it did.
You all realize that he is just bulk ordering Chinese cases and there are many more sellers selling the same thing right? He also raised his prices due to demand...I think they are up to what $12.50 now? There are products I would bet are made in the same chinese factory for $8 shipped with no delay. Fwiw.
Selliing the *same* thing? Send us a link. I haven't seen a case from eBay that has decent reviews in this price range. Not the one's with a stupid hole in the back.
Not for me - it doesn't cover the edges (worse than a hole in the back, IMHO). Also, I wouldn't risk it without a review. Yes, I am picky AND cheap. There have been too many bad reviews of eBay cases..
I'll dig around a bit more, I know I found several that looked to be the exact same thing..and knowing how eBay works on things like this, I'd bet it's not his product and there are places to source it at the same or better price. I'll post back if or when I find the others sellers again.
Amazon seems to have some options via third party, many with reviews.

Well, I think we are all aware that he is likely getting them from China and he has said that he can't get anymore (after this shipment that was supposed to arrive this week) so I guess I would be a little skeptical if someone advertised the same case. I didn't find any similar on eBay in my previous searches but things change fast....
Agreed, at mot this is a temporary inconvenience..possibly because the knockoffs are coming from the same factory as the belkin ones ( as often happens) and belkin changed their design...or they could be retooling to make the adjusted case if they jut copied it. I am actually shocked that people I'll pay fifty bucks for a plastic case, when I saw the belkin price I thought for sure it would drop fast.
Either way it's a matter of short time before the market is flooded with decent cases around ten bucks.

If I don't hear something mid day tomorrow im just gonna ask for my money back. This is just stupid now.
Agreed. I held off becaue I want the darn thing, but apparently it is a foolish hope.
