I got this email from them just now:
I guess this is the same situation as the moko cases where the magnet was too strong?
This is the case I ordered in blue : http://www.amazon.com/i-Blason-Sleep-Google-Nexus-Tablet/dp/B008GHN0NS
Darn, and I had already paid 8 dollars for a screen protector already lol
Hi Dear Customer,
We received our shipment of i-BLASON Auto Sleep / Wake Google Nexus 7 Inch Tablet PC Slim folio Case with Built-in Stand Hard Back Cover today and after rigorous testing discovered that the magnetic sleep / wake function was oversensitive and unsuitable for our customers as it made the case unusable for any significant period of time.
We have returned the product to our supplier and are in the process of receiving a corrected shipment which will arrive on August 3 rd and we do apologize for this unexpected delay.
If you wish to cancel your order, we will gladly refund you.
If you wish to change to an in stock Nexus case we can transfer your order to our leather case as seen here http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008GEC6DQ
If you wish to wait for this product we will include a two-pack of screen protectors (1 matte, 1 clear) when the order is shipped.
Again, our apologies for this delay and any inconvenience it causes.

The only difference is that many people paid $8 to $12 for this case from Moko and other dealers. Why is i-blason charging almost $20 for the same case?

I don't know about others but I ordered the i-blason because i the moko cases i looked at didn't look as nice (and the i-blason is available in orange).

I got the same e-mail too. Very frustrating, because I will be traveling out of the country next week for three weeks and really wanted a protective case before departing.. are there any other cases this thin that are currently shipping?

All the thin cases are shipping starting in August, but the thinnest ones I have seen are below to keep you 'covered' until you get a better built case in August.

Perfect, thank you. I will probably order the Poetic as a temporary - $7.95 shipped is hard to beat.

I paid more because I wanted the color. Hehehe. Black just seemed boring and plain to me, but the prices on the other cheaper alternatives was very enticing.
orange = august 10th now!?!?!

I have ordered the ORANGE one and got the same email a couple days ago ...... but now I am shocked!
http://www.amazon.com/i-Blason-Sleep-Google-Nexus-Tablet/dp/B008GHN0NS
the ORANGE version is In stock on August 10, 2012.
Anybody got any additional email from i-Blason about his BIG BS!!!???
I might switch to
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008K9TSG0/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&smid=A174CY8CR6S3G5
Looks pretty good!
Nope, didn't get an email yet for the delay. I also ordered the orange one I have my mofi case and is a good bridge gap until this and/or my treegloo case comes in by the middle of next month.
In looking at other cases here is one from Poetic that I found. The other one looked good too but I saw this as well, but this one ships out on tomorrow 7/31/12

I ordered the blue one. I haven't received any other email other than the one I posted in OP. Although blue still shows august 3rd
i just ordered the black one as i didn't really care for any of the other colors. the case looks a lot slimmer than the other iblason case which i like but i wish this one had a vertical stand as well for when i'm reading ebooks. guess i'll try to read them in landscape now.
still waiting on mine. ordered the blue. it shipped but i have no idea when it will get here.
smh... i will never order from this vendor ever again. slow... slow... SLOWWWWWWW
Just got mine in today. It seems to be pretty well made and the smart cover works perfectly. No problems with folding back the cover turning the screen off or anything. And the case is rather small. I like it all in all even if there was a delay. At least the company was up front about the issues and didn't just send out a faulty product.
Seidio are offering 20% off of all cases, today only (21/12) with the following code WINTER2012 Hope this helps someone.

Thank you so much! I was just about to order this last night too.
Got my email from Amazon saying that my Poetic Slimline for the Nexus 10 has shipped. It will arrive on Jan. 4. I'll let you all know at that time my thoughts. Anyone else get their shipping notification?
I got a shipping notification too, with a estimated delivery of Jan 2-4. I ordered it in black I really wish they had more colors like grey and brown. I'm not a fan of pastels or bright cases for my expensive gadgets, especially when I use them outside my house.
Mine shipped too, although it says delivery estimate is 24th Jan.

Mine too! Are they walking it to my house, I wonder?
Would it be right to assume that those of you wiht the estimate for the 24th are from the UK? I'm also on the 24th but hey, i'..
Hang on, i've just looked on amazon as opposed to simply the dispatch email and it state "Saturday 5 Jan 2013 - Thursday 24 Jan 2013"
so i think in the dispatch email they are just stating the worst case scenario delivery date.
Mine shipped too.
Delivery estimate Monday 31 Dec 2012 - Saturday 5 Jan 2013
Dispatched
To Spain.
If your case has shipped already I highly doubt it will take a month for it to reach some of you guys. Check out the tracking number Amazon gives you. Amazon lists the estimated delivery data as around the 24th for me, but the tracking number on USPS says it should be here on the 31st.

This is actually why i didn't get it. I hoped Amazon would carry it themselves. Hell a few days ago Poetic didnt even list it on their site.
It looks like they shipped mine from the San Francisco area yesterday. Since I live in the SF area, maybe USPS will deliver it tomorrow, Saturday the 29th.
ETA 11th of January. That's to Sweden.

It arrived ...
It arrived in the mail today. The cover is held down by three magnets. It automatically turns on/off as you open/close the cover. Very slim. Materials are good for the price. The Poetic logo is in silver on the cover. I like the case and it will be my primary case going forward. I also own the Poetic SlimBook and Poetic HardBack cases. Each case seems to have its own strengths. If you want to travel light, then the SlimLine is the ticket. If you want more protection for the tablet, then the SlimBook will give you more of a margin of safety. If you want flexibility in viewing angles as you prop up the tablet for hands free use, go with the HardBack.
UCSB, could you post some pictures? Also, how does the Slimline perform as a stand for the nexus 10?
it wont last..
Sorry but if the front cover materials are the same as the nexus 7 (looks like they are) than expect for it to start falling apart in a weeks time. At the ends of the smart cover folds will crack and start peeling, went through 2 before just getting a refund. They should have designed the cover like apples smartcover or the GMYLE one and I would pay $30+ ...solid design and functionality, ****ty cover... filter the amazon reviews by newest first, all the negative reviews are true and what you can expect... but hopefully they improved the cover design for your guys sake!

You fold the cover to make a triangular stand. I don't plan to use the case as a stand and don't want to fold the cover so maybe someone else can test that feature. Just looking at it, I would not expect it to be a very stable stand. I also own the Poetic HardBack case. Which is designed to be a stable stand that supports all viewing angles. I would just use that case if had a need for a stand. Some photos of the SlimLine below.

In this last picture you can hopefully see some aspects of the case. There are three magnets along the edge to hold the cover shut (they are shiny on lower edge). Inside of cover has a soft feel. The case frame goes along the entire lower part of the case providing complete protection along that edge of the tablet. The case extends out on each side beyond the speakers, providing complete protection of each of those sides.

At this point in time, I can not comment on how durable the cover may be over time. The bottom shell of the case is very solid and well designed and I think it will be durable and provide good protection. The cover is much lighter in weight and if anything was to fail on this case the cover would be the most likely component. Since I only use my cases about once a week if I am taking the tablet out of my home, it takes a long time for any wear to show up. I can't really provide any help on durability on the SlimLine. If a sturdy cover is an important feature, I can say that both of the other two Poetic cases that I own for the Nexus 10 (SlimBook, HardBack) have much thicker, sturdier covers.

I bought two of these cases for my wife since I have the Nexus 7 case for myself. I can honestly say the Nexus 7 case has been very durable. I have not had any cracking and the only peeling was due to it getting scratched while in my work bag. It was small so I just filled it in with a black marker. I have had since about October when the final version came out. For an slim case with good protection you really cannot beat it.

I can't seem to get a case from them. I had a monarch black on order from Amazon since I got the phone. I just canceled it, got tired of waiting. They are even backordered on their own website. I don't get it, I never have trouble getting a case from them.
supply and demand, I ordered my monarch it says ships in 2 weeks but it arrived 3 days. after.
From Amazon or UAG direct?

Direct
Also ordered from UAG direct. At the time the website said the wait was 2 weeks. The item shipped 3 days later.
Must be a good seller or a supply problem. I too have never had a problem getting cases from them for my past Notes.
This time I ordered the Plasma before the phone was even released in the US. Shipped the next day & I still received it before the US N8 release date. At the time the Monarch said coming soon & was not available for order yet.

Ordered my crimson monarch directly from uag well over a week ago and still has not shipped.
Here's a tip for you. Look in your area for Verizon retailer stores (not corporate stores) they sell the UAG Monarch and that is where I purchased mine from.

I got my black monarch case from amazon. I made my order september 5th and received it october 7th. It is a really solid case, and really nice
I was trying to figure this out also, I think that Amazon had a supply, UAG could not keep up with the orders and then started filling orders from their website first instead of filling the Amazon orders. I went to their website ordered it direct and got it in 3 days.... Amazon still said out of stock.
I ordered from Amazon which stated to be reach in 10 days
Ended up receiving on the second day
I am waiting for my review sample from them
Amazon or Mobile Fun are the best for speed and availability in my experience.
