iPad mini iPad Mini - UK Pre Order

[Zade77]

Smart Cover just turned up, looks really small.

 

[Zade77]

Fits in hand nicely!

I'm not a huge fan of the smart covers but the red one looks reallly nice.

Is that an iPhone 4 or 5?

Great looking cover, how bright is that red!

 

[cmykaye]

Debating whether to get one now or not, aghhh dilemma.

Bit too bright for me! Was considering red with my white mini (arsenal colours!) but maybe i'll go for the dark grey option.

Or maybe i'll just get a 3rd party case that covers the back too

What about a pale blue - just like the Spurs away kit ?

 

[THFourteen]

:-D

No!

My red cover turned up too. Sucks to have to wait until the 15 November for the actual iPad.

Speaking of, why is it now saying delivers by the 15th? I ordered at 8:02 on the 26th, when it stated 2 weeks, and the 15th is most certainly well over 2 weeks 🙁

Love the idea of the "mini" but I just cant deal with non-retina products after having them for so long...

I looked at an ipad 2 the other day for 10-15 minutes and it gave me a headache;(

I will most definitely get the mini when it makes it to retina, but until that happens I will give it a miss. I will just pick up 2 iPad 4th generation's instead.

But I can see sense in the mini, I just don't think the tech is there just yet...😉

Can't see any info on the order trackers yet,
Anyone know who is delivering them?

Missed my UPS delivery of Smart Cover today 🙁

Apple had texted me this morning to let me know it would be delivered tomorrow (which I would have been in for - thinking it would be Royal Mail that delivered it), but now I'll have to hope that I'm at home to get it tomorrow on the redelivery!

Mine was delivered today when I was out - just put through the letterbox though.

my Red Smart cover arrived today too. Weird having a small cover in your hand when you're used to the larger one.

A few pics below. Yes that's my daughters handiwork on the larger SmartCover 🙂

Just need the actual iPad mini now...

 

[Toonbay]

No, it looks like we need to wait until Apple update the order page, probably on Thursday.

 

[dspalton]

The smart covers seem to be delivered by UPS, probably the same for the minis.
