I've been waiting for Pitaka to re-stock the MagCase For Samsung Galaxy Note8 in Black/Grey (Twill) for some time now.
I contacted them and did get a prompt response stating mid-December. I'll give them until the 20th then look elsewhere.

I just got an email from them stating it will be shipped within a week and they also gave me a $10 refund for the hassle...

Hi guys, case available again for purchase, here is a 10% disccount http://pitaka.refr.cc/ricardosaldarriaga
I am doubtful about the Magcase really being available. Mine is backordered and if they were really available I would have gotten a shipping notice before they were available for new orders... Then again, knowing how this company has handled their supply backlog you never know!

it's free shipping from them too lol
Yes, i know. Is it free TWO DAY shipping? Nope. And that's only if you spend more than $30. I just want the Magna Qi mount and it's only $25.

Besides, a lot of people on here having issues with delayed shipping from the official site. I'd feel more comfortable ordering from Amazon. The cases tend to be cheaper there anyways.

Looks like the MagMount Qi is now available on Amazon, Sold by PITAKADirect and Fulfilled by Amazon, https://www.amazon.com/Magnetic-Wireless-Charging-Magmount-Smartphones/dp/B077QZFS3X.

Received mine last week, but does not fast charge, tried both an Anker 3.0 & a RAVpower 2.0 charger. Is there a particular cable you're using? I will be receiving an Anker powerline micro USB cable this week to see if this works.

Mine kind of surprise arrived today (tracking still showed it as not picked up).

So, it is great, of course. Unfortunately, however, the quality is not OK, it is having a sharp edge on the upper leff corner and the aramid layer is torn, maybe damaged on the outside. I already contacted Pitaka and am positive for them to solve the issue without problems.

Besides that, the case is perfect. It took around a month to arrive (It was not shipped until some days ago). Overall, I am perfectly OK with it, if they solve the issue without problems.
