Glad to finally have TouchID on the iPad... BUT.... turning on a password as opposed to a 4 digit code.... Good Grief... The password screen looks like a Fisher Price "My First iPad" looks dreadful.

Don't know if this helps, but if you use only numbers in your password you still get the nice numeric keypad — e.g. mine is a 9 digit numerical code.
 
Well my Smart Case has just arrived. Looks very sad waiting for the ipad to arrive on Monday.

Me too! Quick question about your case.... On the packaging, does it still say 'iPad Air' (not Air 2)? I assume they have sent the right one!!
 
iPad Air 2 pre-order/launch UK

I noticed that too!

The only clue that I could see was the small sticker on the back... bottom (right?)

That says iPad Air (2nd Generation)

The other way to tell is the case for the 2 does not have a hole for the Mute / rotation lock button above the volume buttons.

Yeah, as you say, the 2nd gen in the small print. Seen You Tube vids of folks getting the iPad itself and even on that it only says iPad Air so they had that moment wondering if they'd been sent the right thing. Still Monday is that bit closer now......
 
I just called Trafford - they not expecting cellular models until next week. Guess I have no choice then but to wait for my delivery on Monday!

Just picked up a 64gb cellular from the Trafford centre to night they just got them in.
 
I popped in to the Bath store yesterday and they had no cellulars and weren't sure when they would get them in. Gonna try again next week


I swapped my wifi only model to a wifi+cellular one yesterday around 4pm at Sheffield Meadowhall. They told me they were not allowed to sell the cellular models before late afternoon yesterday. I have the feeling they had all flavours available. Strange that Bath and Manchester Trafford didn't have any in store.
 
Walked in to Apple Milton Keynes and picked up a Space Grey 128Gb Cellular without issue. Very impressed so far, a big upgrade on my old iPad 3
 
It did seem like they had them quarantined but check his iPod tocu then went to back to double check and Trafford are now selling cellular
 
My space grey 128GB cellular will be here mid-morning so it will have been exactly a week since I ordered, which is fine. I hope they do now have them in the Apple stores just in case I need to exchange it. Hopefully won't be necessary though :)
 
Still waiting for confirmation of Out for Delivery but had been assured it would be today. Apparently mine was in a batch that had been delayed according to Customer Services who referenced an email that had gone round the call centre last Friday. So the package was last seen in Birmingham on Saturday and i'm expecting it to be scanned out shortly! Given that I ordered 5 minutes after the pre-orders opened, i'm not blown away by the service so far.....

That's poor, sounds like UK mail have lost it. I read in local news that one unnamed courier lost a whole van last week. The driver left the keys in the ignition while delivering a parcel and someone drove off in the van. Parcel Force managed to lose a parcel I had shipped from the US for six weeks once!

Now showing delivery tomorrow. Trying to get hold of UK Mail and Synceron to find out what is going on. Apple were useless again. If anywhere nearby had them in stock that order would get cancelled and told where they can stick it. Waiting for the Lincoln Stormfront store to open at 9am and may give them a try.
 
Pictures of Smart cases on Air 2 and retina Mini. The thickness of the new smart case ruins the slimness of the Air 2 for me.
Mini on left, Air 2 on the right.

yeah thats pretty terrible lol. I want essentially my 5s red case, but in ipad form. The lip should just slightly extend to protect the glass
