However you slice it.. In the end your gonna have to pay the full amount it. But I was under the impression that I could have gotten 100 off with getting it from AT&T, but then I found out that the 100 off was for signing up for the 2 year contract. So, I just decided to go with .. Since the mysterious AT&T iPP is no where to be found in their stores..

Today, I picked up the Microsoft Universal Foldable Keyboard. I didn't want a keyboard case since I already have a Smart Cover. I like how it looks paired with the iPP.

Great. I'm going to check that one out. I ordered the Smart keyboard but it shipping out in December.
 
Same here in Miami... No availability at att or at any Apple Store. I ordered a 128 IPad SG on the morning (8am ET)of the release day with the AT&T Next 20 option... The status is "preparing to ship" since the 2nd day after placing the order, with estimated time 25th of nov to 3rd of dec...

Yeah, been searching for standalone Bluetooth keyboards. I was thinking of getting the Magic Keyboard... Just didn't like the way it looked next to the iPP.

I had a Keys-To-Go Logitech keyboard, but I gave that to my sister when I sold my iPad Air 2. I wanted something different and Logitech made a new Bluetooth keyboard called the K380, but I wasn't a fan of those round keys.

Then there's the Logitech K811... But I was just split between whether to get it or not. Then I checked out the Microsoft Universal keyboard.. Which they had at my nearby Best Buy.

Originally the keyboard cost 99, but Amazon had it knocked down to 70... So, I priced matched it then I had a $5 off coupon at Best Buy. I got it for 65, but I do have to adjust to the layout... But I just like how it looks with the iPP.
 
Has anyone purchased or seen a pencil attachment to clip on cover or something to keep up with Apple pencil? A third party accessory. I didn't want to put velcro on pencil but I might have to. So I can avoid losing a $100.

For the people that got their iPads... Anyway to avoid the activation fee, I've always thought it was pointless... Since I'm already a customer.

They are much much more strict on activation fees now. Really the only way to avoid any sort of activation fee is if you have an employee discount through a qualifying company. Tablets pretty much always get an activation fee. Even buying it outright will get activation fee.
 
Good luck Space Gray's. You wil get yours soon. I wanted Space Gray but I'll take the white it matches the Apple Pencil. Lol

I love Amazon. I check Amazon and Best Buy first before every purchase. How thin is it? Pleas post a pic when you have time. I have a small bluetooth key board it does not fold but it fits in my bag. I might just use it.

Did they call you? Or you contacted them before showing up? How'd you snatch one up? Details please!

Drive there. They will not hold.

I was driving this morning around 9:00. I stopped by a AT&T corporate store They only had 1 iPad Pro 128gb white silver. At first he told me it was space gray. I looked at the back of the box it was white. He checked the back again. That is the only model he had. The rep told me only the larger or corporate stores had display or a IPad Pro. They get them by 3 or 4 amounts. He did have a space gray Friday. But didn't know when he would get another. I had to make a choice. I couldn't leave the store without ME PRO.

It's pretty thin.. My sister has a Surface Pro 3 & I like how Microsoft did their keyboard. I had even used the 12" Retina MacBook and I like the keyboard on that... I feel this keyboard is a replica of it by way of the keys don't travel far.

Now, I gotta see about getting the  Pencil.

For those who have not touched or received their Pro. It's big. But light. It does not feel awkward to hold. I own a surface pro 3 it is about the same foot print. The iPP is more comfortable then the surface because of it being so light and paper thin.

It's definitely big. Having had the Air 2 since around launch... It takes some adjustment getting use to. When I went to pick my order up at the  Store I refused to play with the demos. My friend told me to check them out, but I told her I rather experience it when I open the box to use mine.

Every since the iPad 2, I've been an avid iPad user... I enjoy using iPads more than the Mac. The flexibility of an iPad is what wins me over... The ability to pick it up anywhere & use it. I really believe iPads are the future although iOS is kind of holding it back, the hardware is there... Just gonna take time for the OS to catch up with it.

My Apple Store in Pittsburgh, PA had a limited inventory but sold out by the time I had gone up to check. I'm going to try tomorrow morning. Sounds like a lot of stores are getting shipments now.
 
My Pro came via UPS today. Stopped by the Apple Store in Chicago - Lincoln Park picked up the Pencil didn't have the keyboard. I thought the Logitech was too thick when compared to the apple keyboard. Going to try my luck.
 
Anyone with Space Gray seeing movement? AT&T stores are giving me quote of 10 business days from order for Space Gray vs 3-5 days for Gold or Silver.
 
Not that i'm a conspiracy theorist, and I'm definitely not checking my order page every 10 minutes, that would be insane ... or something ... but for the past few hours, i'm either getting a partial page with a blank captcha entry, or the page is not responding. Hopefully they are doing a mass update 🙂

AT&T 128gb Space Gray.
