AirTag Shipping Estimates Already Slipping Into May

I’m curious how are people putting these tags onto items that don’t usually work with a key ring - like wallet, phones, remote and hard surface items. I suppose find adhesive cases or cases that would cover the entire items with a hole for key rings?
I ordered the 4 pack at 8am EST with custom engraving and the order says delivery on April 30th. I'm not sure I believe that but I'll see.
I ordered a 4-pak all engraved and it still says by April 30th. Hope that doesn't change.
Mine says April 30th also, which happens to be my birthday also
This is what I get when opening the Apple store app to check on my order status. 😂 hope all is well. (Edit: Screenshot was taken 2 hours after the launch at 5am)
Excited to try them out!! I ordered a 4 pack at 5:01 PST, and two individual ones for pickup at my local Apple store at 5:04 PST... was able to get the appointment for 11am-11:15am when my store opens here. I hope that stays true!

Add another error: it says too early come back at 5....when I click on my email order # confirmation 😄
Ordered my 4 pack at 8:00 am EST. I am a little disappointed they are not better designed for tracking stolen items (as opposed to lost items) but I still find value in this product.
There are fabric cases with adhesives , like this one

For God's sakes. Just hide it on the device you want to track. It is not complicated
Could you please elaborate?
What shortcomings?
What interview?
What do you mean by "fooled"?
I'm sorry, but if you gonna post an argument without any base/info, it’s like hard to understand your point.
It makes me sad that so many people are buying these while there are so many people in need.
I ordered a 4-pack around 8AM MDT with engraving and got a delivery date of May 17th. Oh well. I really do think the engraving is required for this product. If you have a pile of 4 in your hand how else are you going to tell them apart?

Been covered in many other threads. But basically because of the "security features" it can't be used well as a tracking device. There are many valid use cases for a device like that. Hopefully over time Apple will adapt a bit to provide some sort of happy medium to improve its usefulness.
