people need to know it's exactly the same as Marware CEO. Same factory produces them, just with slight cosmetic changes.http://www.amazon.com/Marware-C-E-O...JQV2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1332299577&sr=8-2
Obviously it is GREAT case with 4.5/5 150+ reviews on Amazon, so don't be surprised unless you have prejudice and ASSUME this case is supposed to be bad just because of the price.

It's the exact same case isn't this?
Mine should be here tomorrow and the Lexington by Friday. Just hope one of them work with the sleep/wake function.
Poetic
I just bought the Poetic strapback caas well for $14.95 with a coupon code. Looking forward to my iPad having a stand and not being naked

Right, well are the clips at least bendable/flexible? Are they TPU or hard plastic?

Just like everyone else said..
Good quality
Even for 15.99..
Too bad my magnet doesnt work.. I should be able to get a replacement though.

Received mine today and very pleased, particularly having paid $9.99 shipped. It was ordered Sunday and received Tuesday, a day earlier than promised. I'm also pleased to say that my wake feature seems to work fine. Must have been lucky. I had gotten the vendors email warning that there might be a problem. That type of proactive response is refreshing. Those of you who do receive a defective case, it sounds like they plan to rectify the situation as fast as possible and it's nice you don't have to mail the case back first.
Like others, I'm impressed with the quality of materials and construction. However, my camera hole is slightly off center. If this was a $60 case, that would be unacceptable. In this case (pun intended) I don't mind. Photos taken with the case on seem to have no obstruction, so it's simply cosmetic. I've taken a photo to show what I mean. Btw, I think taking the case off if you intend to take a lot of pictures would be wise, since the back cover hangs open when you use the camera.
I'm glad the clamps on the corners and the latch are a tight grip. I'm a bit worried that the padding on them might wear and start to scratch the device. Not a critical concern but something to keep an eye on.
Finally, I must say that the case feels very pleasant to hold. The feel of the faux leather is nice and the slim design is appealing. Very satisfied. Thanks again OP.

Actually, as someone pointed out to me a few messages back, it's not the same as the Marware. The Marware is more like the Poetic version of the Moko case. The Poetic and the Marware both lack the bulky elastic strap that hold the case back on itself. Doesn't matter to me, but just for the sake of "full disclosure."
I ordered the "Poetic " version which also cost me $10 after my $5 Amazon gift card I got from the "Amazonlocal.com" promo.

Because some of the cases literally have no magnet sewn in. Some errors in construction.
I've been wondering the same thing wether or not the clips are somewhat soft and expandable easily?
Price still showed as $15.99 yesterday and as soon as I added it to the cart, Amazon informed me that the price was now $19.99. Not a bad price, but seems kind of odd that they would keep increasing the price like that. Will hold off ordering until I make up mind exactly what I want. Do love the looks of these cases though.
Hey that is nothing compared to this guy's marware version:

His photos obviously would be obstructed (half the camera is blocked!).

Well all of them--of these look-a-likes--have that strap and it doesn't seem like an issue.

Just got my case today and it is simply awesome! Sleep/wake function works perfectly, and don't know what everyone is talking about, but the latch closes and opens perfectly and feels secure. The 2 left side grips comes off super easy to adjust to the 2 angles. The finish of the case is great (even at the $20 price point currently).
It's slim, professional, and just looks outstanding. Also, LOVE that there's no logo embossing anywhere. Only gripe would be the sleep/wake button is a little close to the case to push...which doesn't matter much since the case uses the sleep/wake magnet function.
Let's see how this compares to the Lexington (which is now known to not work properly with the sleep/wake feature) when I get it tomorrow, but this case seems like the keeper for only $10.
Here are some pics...enjoy
