I concur. There's actually one on Amazon that's compatible that'll ship the 31st or so:https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01A...clear+case&dpPl=1&dpID=51RpD4zHODL&ref=plSrch

I just don't like the grips or overprotective corners of it; so I'll wait for another.

Yes I did see that one on Amazon US but I'm in the UK and Amazon UK doesn't have a listing for it or any others that ship on or around that date. I did see a couple on their but they ship in late April which is no good. I have a Logitech folio type case that I had bought for my Air 2 and I'm hoping I can use that temporarily.

[doublepost=1458939806][/doublepost]Maybe 6-8 days is the same as the 31st?
 

Looks like that's one of the first to sell out of the initial day-one stock. All 3 other colors are still available. The 32/256 GB and Wifi versions are all also still good for 31st delivery too.

If you have a store near you, might be easier to grab one there?

'Went into my local Apple Store today to see, if they had the new cases...no luck.
I really want to see and decide in person which one to get, but that means that I'll have my iPad for a couple days (at least) before I can do that :confused:
*firstworldproblems*
 
Ordered the 32GB Wifi Rose Gold, a lilac silicone cover, the smart keyboard, and the pencil yesterday around 6AM EST. All separate shipments. Pencil actually got here this morning... silicone and keyboard's tracking both say Monday. iPad still processing. I'm just going to sit here and stare at the pencil until next week :)

Yep that's the only one so far that is saying delivers Apr 6-8 on the Apple Store app. I guess that makes sense that the SG 128 would be the most popular. Although I would have thought the SG 32 wifi would sell out first.
 
Had my smart type cover ship today as well as my silicone case and smart cover. UPS is showing all three for Monday. I first ordered a 256GB wifi/lte space gray from Apple at 3AM but later in the day canceled and reordered a rose gold version from Verizon for $200 less and it shows from them to be delivered by 3/31.

.... and then I read through this whole thread, canceled my 32gb , and bought a 128 instead lol
 
I really want the smart case/cover combo but hate how they sell them separately now.. I want a temporary case until a good keyboard one comes out but don't wanna spend over $100 on the Smart Cover/case

This.
I find it hard to pay so much money for some silicon.
We all know that in a few days/weeks there's going to be thousands of third party ones (starting at only a few £/$ no less), one to suit whatever you like, but we want some sort of protection from the get go...At least if you want to resell it in the future.
