I guess, but I hear the other names more, so I would have put them at the bigger order. Never heard of EXOTEK. Are they big?

Depends how much profit they want to take. You can look these cases up on alibaba to see where they come from - the manufacturer is happy to emboss a logo on the front to make it look branded. I wouldn't be surprised if there were a couple of different factories ready to supply the same basic design, but doubt there'll be much difference in quality.

[Edit: I can't find this design on Ali Express at the moment, but similar cases are running for around $6-7 in lots of 20-50, so $4.99 is getting pretty close to the base manufacturer price.]

Wow, I am so annoyed with amazon's shipping. Not the first nice case I've found, and for such a nice killer price too that won't ship to Canada. The case concept is exactly what I'm looking for. I found this one that ships to Canada branded by i-bason, but it's 24 bucks with shipping though looks the same. I'm debating either ordering that or waiting until more 'look alike' cases appear on amazon that ship to Canada.

Yeah, very strange. Thanks for the link. I think I'll see if anyone else gets this branded case before jumping in. Like you said, there is almost no profit for EXOTEK, and that doesn't even include shipping/transport for them. Something seems off about the price. For not much more, there is a bit more peace of mind I think.

I preordered the orange one from iblason (ships on 7/26). It's to hold me over until the treegloo cases start shipping. I'll report back with one of my mini reviews.

please let me know how it is. I've been thinking about getting that same one, color and all, but not sure yet.

So here's a case I pre-ordered for $4.99 total. Not sure if it's worth it or not, but hey for 5 bucks I figured it was worth a shot. What do you guys think?

This is almost identical to the ViperTEK case I had for my Tab 8.9 which I loved. I just pre-ordered this as well. Looks like it has a magnetic as well for on/off functionality which is a bonus. Thanks for posting this.

Looks like they raised the price to $8.99 + $4.99 shipping...

I checked my invoice to be sure, and sure enough it's still at $4.99 and no shipping charges. Maybe a mistake on their end by having that original price, or they saw the orders coming in and thought they could make a few more bucks by raising the price?

-Flu

Is this the same as moko's version?

Have they stated when it ships?
