No, I have not even attempted to... with all the trouble people are having attempting to find a Pencil, I figure I'll wait till the stock is readily available
But I think I will start shopping for a case, or some protection...

I ended up getting the Logitech keyboard last week. Bought it through Apple and had it shipped. Also bought the pencil at the same time and that's been pushed off to ship sometime between Dec 7th - 14th. Called the stores here in Dallas and no pencils in stock.
I tried to order the Smart Keyboard from Apple but based on the reviews I read seems the Logitech was the better way to go. Pulling out the Logtiech I was just trying to see what it would be like to type on it even though I dont have the Pro yet. And it's exactly what I was looking for. I'm stoked and can't wait for my iPad. I check the order status page every day and as others have stated (including myself) seems like the 25th - 3rd dates seem to be accurate at this point.

Good idea. I'm tired of going to stores and being told we only had 3 and now they are gone. It's like Willie Wonka. LolNo, I have not even attempted to... with all the trouble people are having attempting to find a Pencil, I figure I'll wait till the stock is readily available

I still go by AT&T stores in Houston looking for Apple keyboard. Every other store I stop at will have 1 or 2 iPad Pro's. If you drive by a store just go in and check. Now that I got my Pro. I'm having a harder time getting my Smart keyboard.
My order for the 128 Gb SG was done via AT&T next online on "Order date: 11/11/2015 at 9:48:15 AM EST" and is still showing "preparing to ship" since the 2nd day after ordering. I dont see any availability in the apple store for 128 SG or in my local ATT stores so I am wondering if they maybe wont be able to meet the original expected delivery dates.
Still shows the below estimated dates.
Estimated ship dates:
November 25, 2015 - December 3, 2015

Same here - getting close to the 25th - the original authorization for the tax($ 89) fell off more than a week ago - no charges as of this writing - anyone got charged yet and still showing " preparing for shipment"?
I gave up on AT&T last week. Went to many stores looking or me Pro. Found me Pro at AT&T. Instead of space gray I went silver. They only had one. Good luck. I hope they ship soon.
I was holding out, telling myself "you don't need a bigger iPad" and all that fun stuff. Well, yesterday I had a very valid use case, and thought of a great app idea that would help me (probably not a very big target audience for it), so I ordered via AT&T Next. My delivery window for silver is Dec 15-22, but I'm hoping it comes earlier. It'll give me time to read reviews and try out multiple keyboards, and hopefully it'll be a little easier to find a pencil, since it'll be super helpful for my usage. Now I sit playing the waiting game with you all
I keep checking everyday. I'm hoping that maybe tomorrow being the 25th, perhaps then maybe the update will at least change. Being that it's so close to thanksgiving it might not change till Friday, maybe even Saturday. Just tired of waiting! Can't wait to get this bad boy!
Same for me... This is the first time I order online instead of going directly to a store. Now I remember why I never ordered online! I find myself checking the status 2-4 times every day. I don't have the patient to do this but I guess I'll have to wait...just hope at least we get it within the estimated AT&T dates...
It's 10:30 AM here in Dallas. Still no movement. Anyone else seeing any movement with deliveries of 25th - 3rd?! Still early perhaps. Maybe I'm being paranoid. Anticipation is killing me!
Southern Cal here SG 128. - no frigging movement either - preparing to ship for almost 2 weeks now
I stopped in my local store today. Rep said they haven't received any at all and the best they can do is order one for customers, with same dates as online if the customer did it themselves. Really sucks that we can't order with Next direct from Apple or at the Apple Store.Local ATT stores still have yet to receive any stock of anything iPad Pro related (except for some random third-party accessories),
Yeah, that would be nice. But I don't think they would ever do that. It's really a carrier incentive to do so... To get customers to buy from them instead of .
Yeah, I know. Was wishful thinking. I was hoping to have it by the weekend of Dec 13. My estimated ship date is after that. Based on what I'm reading in this thread, I don't think I'm going to get it earlier than my date. My local Apple Store has them available for store pickup today (I just checked 10 seconds ago). So, I suppose if I want to spend the $1k up front, I'll just get it at the Apple Store. I also don't need the cellular version, as I can tether to my phone. But it's always a nice option to have. Every iPad I've owned was the cellular model. A product like an iPad Pro makes sense to do on Next since it's 0% interest and I'll be keeping it for 2+ years anyway.
My previous iPad I went against cellular & gotten the wifi version . But I went ahead and gotten the cellular version this time around... Primarily cause it's really convenient to just pull out the iPP without concerning myself with turning on hotspot.
If you have the funds to pay upfront... Go ahead & do so. But then I know it's like a psychological kinda of thing seeing that much money upfront compared to paying monthly. I just knew going AT&T route there will be uncertainty of availability. Especially given the fact I wanted the SG cellular Model... And I knew those were going to be hard to get.
Can't believe how stupid I was. I thought that I would be receiving it between those dates. Took me THIS long to realize that it's just SHIP dates. Feel like an idiot. Total blonde moment. To top that all I can think of is what some other user posted in this thread with AT&T ship times to be 7 days out. So if it were shipped at the latest, which would be the 3rd, the latest I should get it would be the 11th of December. Maybe even the 12th. I guess the good news is my Apple Pencil is said to ship between the 7th and 14th of December. Worst case scenario they would ship really close together which would work out for me. Till then I'm just stuck like others in this thread. Waiting for signs of movement.
Oh, it's totally psychological. Especially this time of year with holiday shopping, travel, etc. Can I walk into Apple today and pick one up? Yes. Do I feel a lot better thinking "$54/month is nothing, I spend more than that on coffee"? You bet I do!
I think I'm going to start working on my app this weekend if I have time. If I have it in a good enough state by the 11th and my iPP isn't close to being delivered, I'll cancel the order and buy it from Apple. I'd really like it for the 13th.
