$35 Logitech Ultrathin iPad Case with Free Shipping

1890
ipadcase

Up for grabs is the brand new Logitech Ultrathin iPad keyboard cover, us the code ipadcase for free shipping (works for the whole site btw). It will make your iPad almost as cool as the Asus Transformer Pad Infinty! JK.

Now in order to avoid a fanboi brawl here we are going to divert your attention by playing a little game. The deal expires next Saturday. We are going to have a little guessing game during that time. You need to guess what the final number of votes the deal will get when it expires. Now to make it interesting the first person who guessed the correct number will win, so you can't just wait till the end, or you can but you risk someone getting it before you. One guess each! Oh and obviously if you have already purchased we will just refund 50% so you don't have to worry about ordering it now.

A prize you ask! Surely pride should be enough, but just in case the winner will get their choice of one of the covers for half price, or a $40 voucher for anything on the site.

Any issues shoot us an email [email protected]

Oh and just in case this does turn into an android/ios/webos/symbian flamewar the most upvoted comment gets a free 8GB transcend USB key.

UPDATE: Price dropped to beat the other guys… We will refund the difference to everyone who has already made a purchase.

UPDATE 2: Well this is just silly at this point…

UPDATE 3: unbelievable…

Update 4: At this point you are better off buying from LTS, please email us if you would like a full refund so you can purchase from them.

Update 5: Well we woke up this morning and thought, even if the game is who can be stupider, we hate losing more than we hate looking stupid. So we are dropping the price to $35 shipped. Hopefully LTS will honour that price as well for everyone who purchased last night from them. limit 2 per customer as well though.

UPDATE 6: Well that was almost as quick as the $3 USB keys! I would like to thank every one for playing by the rules and not ordering more than 2 units, great to see people giving others a chance to get a great deal!

UPDATE 7: Just want to clarify that selling at this price is not sustainable for us or LTS. If you got this deal from either of us you were very lucky to be at the right place at the right time. There is basically no chance we will be offering these at anything close to this price until they are being cleared out with the release of a new iPad. Sorry to disappoint anyone who missed out, but it was one of those once in a blue moon things.

UPDATE 8: If we could bring this deal back at $59 shipped can we get an idea of how many people would be interested? And same question for the android version.

UPDATE 9: 188 - issh wins the $40 voucher, fincky wins the USB key. Will be in contact soon.

        • i never said they are not losing money…
          i understand your confusion and disappointment but if you keep posting negative comments for LTS i don't think you will gain more respect!
          if you think they lost and you won then why i only see you complaining?

        • +4

          You implied it though… But regardless we are not complaining, they made a call that they were willing to lose more money than we were to defend their brand. That is their call to make, in the end the deal was much better for everyone and it cost us nothing so we don't really have much to complain about.

        • +5

          Well now this will cost us, but our pride and brand are worth more even if we don't sell many logitech items it is the principle.

        • +1 from me!
          i think you would have sold out even with a higher price, after late last night when LTS had no more stock.
          $35 is(was) a steal! thank you and keep up the good work ;)

        As much as I love LTS, I felt that their last minute entry into this bargaining business was uncalled for, could have waited till your deal was over.

        I hope this didn't put you out of business!

        • +6

          Thanks for the support! Not quite, we only have one logitech item up for sale… Though we will soon have a whole lot more on the site don't worry.

          The battle may have been lost, but the war is just beginning…

        • Exactly

        • As much as I love LTS, I felt that their last minute entry into this bargaining business was uncalled for, could have waited till your deal was over.

          How was it uncalled for? This type of thing happens all the time - see the recent SSD wars beteen ShoppingSquare, Shopping Express and CentreCom. If businesses aren't willing to be competitive then they deserve no attention here. This little battle shows that FlingShot and LTS are indeed deserving of our attention.

      • Can I have it? Shattered I missed out still :(

    I don't have an iPad so not buying one. But you get a plus flingshot, if you didn't do this deal LTS would not have gone to $40.

  • +9

    Yeah, respect for flingshot. Good try, not your fault lts is insane! (and of course I did buy from lts!)

  • +4

    Good customer feedback and business practice. Definitely deserve a positive vote and best of luck with future deals on OzBargain.

  • It's nice to see competition like that, hopefully its sustainable though without drastic sacrifices for your guys…unlike other firms in the advent of deflation(LOOKING AT YOU WOOLWORTHS LIMITED!…)

    Any plans on entering the SSD market?

  • if you guys have any stock back from anyone wanting a refund ill take it for 50 off you

  • I personally don't like this posting competition. It detracts from genuine posts regarding the product and related info.

    Or am I getting old and grumpy? :)

    • But thanks to flingshot for posting..looking forward to other posts! :)

    Thanks, flingshot for a great effort. Whatever happens everyone will be eagerly anticipating your next deal. Truly the mst exciting newcomer since BC/LTS!

  • It's good to see a company like Flingshot put in alot of effort to satisfy customers

    • I think this deal should get around 250 pos votes

      • Not gonna lie, someone mentioned in one of our USB deals that the best ever was like 300 plus. We have had our sights on that mark for a while…

        • Good luck, you guys really deserve it.
          So far this is the best deal I have ever seen on OZbargain.

  • got one, thx. my guess is 158

  • got one. thanks

  • +1

    Dude!

    Great work Flingshot. And the winners are: Flingshot, LTS, and us Ozbargainers!

    All I need now is a white one at these prices :S

    Thanks all :)

  • It's sold out again

  • 165

  • i just tried. its sold out again

  • Just added 1 to cart and checking out when it changes to sold out… Not good !

    • There were three people who had the item in their cart, 2 purchased and one abandoned so the item went back in stock for a split second at which point about 50 people tried to add it. Sorry you missed out!

      • Thats ok, i needed the white version actually for my white ipad. If you guys do a deal on that when it comes out ill be happy! Haha

  • +1

    Hi rep…..I don't know whether you guys made money on this deal or not…it does not matter….I am impressed with your attitude ….and I bought one today. More importantly…I am sure you have won a few repeat customers….including me…..good on you…..

    • Well again it depends on how you define making money, it was a short term loss for hopefully a long term gain. Exactly like the previous USB deals we have posted.

    Btw note for you FS, some little info and my theory on LTS is they're a platinum partner with logitech australia.. (they're owned by fluidtek which is the platinum partner) so what they do is SATURATE consumers will low-profit, high-volume Logitech products, this means Australian retailers (bricks and mortar) like Harvey Norman and jb hifi, whoever sells it at near RRP will get a massively reduced sales from their Logitech products due to 1) their standard Rrp prices
    2) because a lot of consumers now have Logitech products, there is a huge reduction in the possibility of consumer demand for Logitech products…at rrp prices anyway.
    To LTS, this gives massive buying power, cause of the high volumes going through their inventory and hence they can get products from Logitech for even cheaper. Eventually, the rrp retailers will look pretty bad to their suppliers because of not selling Logitech products as much as they would like to see. In effect it is like a monopoly, with LTS able to dominate the Logitech market. It's bad for competition but good for consumers.
    That's my thoughts anyway, good luck FS :)

      Thanks for your post, yeah we know all about the logitech market, which is why we have not previously looked at it. This deal came up and we thought it was a pretty good one as the price on this item had stayed pretty high from what we could see online. So we figured we would come in at a much better price and it would be a win/win. Now that we have seen how aggressively LTS will try to protect their market we realize there must be a lot at stake…

      • The Market is big enough and there will always be Logitech deals that Flingshot will probably do better than us, same with all other retailers someone will always get a deal. As for the commitment and effort of Flingshot i take my hat off, Amazing customer service in every way. Just my 2cents worth. +1 from me.

    You can normally tell if the company is great to deal with. They would have great customer service and responds right away. Although this is my first time to buy with Flingshot, I have read previous posts and they try to do the right thing. Keep up the good service.

  • We have 1 undisputed winner here: Flingshot.

      Same here. I wish I could vote multiple times… Love FS..

  • Crazy.

    Good fun, but still crazy!

    More please. :D

  • Can we get some more in stock pleeeeeese!!

    Can't believe I missed this twice! Would've been happy at the $48 last night but was already sold out when I got home.. and then I get to work this morning and it's sold out at $35!
    Giving a positive vote for you though FS for giving everyone a genuine bargain!
    Hopefully I can find a way to pick one up at a decent price still!

      I don't expect you to have followed the whole thing, but what actually happened is we told everyone who had purchased from us they were better off buying from LTS, so we refunded everyone. Which meant we still had all of our original stock. We then decided this morning that we would offer it up at an even better price than LTS had been willing to go to.

      • Everyone? I ordered last night along with a hard drive.. Was my order canned?

        • No your order was not canceled we just never emailed you sorry, missed it due to the hdd.

          Worked out anyway I suppose because you will get it at the cheaper price.
