Thanks I bought the soft gray case. Was torn between that and the vintage blue and the black make a wish case.

The Vintage Blue looks great; I also considered it, but then realized that it had a slight "purpleish" cast. The soft gray looks amazing. If I was not so impatient, I might have waited for it. However, my other iPad case I will be ordering, (a Girl needs choices) - will also only be available later in April (Yoobao leather folio - different look, different protection).
 
Okay, so I emailed The Joy Factory regarding my case, or lack thereof. Have not received anything back. Then again its only 8:08am, and I did email them yesterday, which was Sunday. I really hope I get an email back sometime today.

I'm starting to get really frustrated with this company. I knew it would ship out late March, however I would of liked an email stating what process my order is in.

I just want something, anything telling me where my case is, how long is it going to take to get to NH (probably yet another week). If this case does not work. I will NOT be a happy person... :mad:

They have told me in emails that the black and white are shipping out today and bronze shipping out next monday. Acc. to them, bc of the delay they are upgrading everyone's shipping
 
Wow, I really like the special edition ones that are coming out later this month. Now to decide on the Vintage kaki or Vintage blue "Connect the Dots" edition.

That are the two cases I can't decide between...

Could anyone post pics of their SmartSuit3, when you receive it?
 
Ohh - i think i'm ordering the vintage blue! r maybe the switcheasy coverbuddy. I'm totally undecided -waiting on early birds to post pics and reviews.

Goodness gracious! Patience young grasshopper! :) They are in CALIFORNIA and you seem to be in NH so it is only 5:30AM there.

Their website says "Ships April 2 for white and black" and next week for other colors. That would be only 1 business day after "late March" which is pretty good. That has been posted here a few times as well. If no one reads and everyone keeps emailing them they won't have time to ship! :D;):)
 
I just received the Shipping notice for my SmartSuite 3 (black). Because I live in the same county as their office, I am hoping to receive mine by tomorrow.:) I will post pics and let y'all know what I think of the case then.

Rinse and repeat.:p
 
I know, I know, patience is definitely not my virtue!

Good news though, my silver smartsuit has been shipped. :D

Yay!! I'm really interested in your opinion of the silver. I was SO close to ordering that one or the Bronze, but was unsure as to how glitzy they are, so went the safe route with Black.
 
Mine just shipped to NJ, scheduled delivery of Wednesday! Can't Wait!!!
Wednesday! Mine is scheduled for Thursday also in NJ. Wahhhhhh! You must be in the "good part" of the state! :D

That doesn't look practical, I hope the SmartSuit3 can fold the front flat...
We wil see the pics when someone received his SmartSuit3.


Not only is it "supposed to" fold back but there are supposedly magnets so it stays back. They say it is a new design. If it doesn't it will be going back and I will be very disappointed as there are (or will be) cheap eBay cases under $20 that fold back. I had one for my iPad2 by Khomo for around $17.
 
My tracking number doesn't work. :( Either that or they haven't scanned my case yet. Apparently when I click on the link from the email, it's being delivered via FedEx. I even checked the yahoo small business tracker and got nothing. This happening to anyone else? I'll try it again tomorrow.

I'm pretty close to Newark and Union where most Fedex packages get sorted. They emailed me saying i was being upgraded to 2 day shipping after i asked if i could upgrade by paying...

My tracking number has the same result as yours. I wouldn't worry to much though. The same thing happened with one of my packages a while back, and it arrived the next day.
Remember........patience?:p

I spoke to customer support on Friday. They said they upgraded my shipping but it went out economy anyway. Annoyed they didn't upgrade like they said.

I could WALK to the Union depot it's that close. My upgrade was to Express Saver not 2nd day which probably explains it.

Fedex GROUND is standard shipping. Express Saver is the upgrade.

Thanks for the clarification. Someone I know got upgraded to Two Day, which is why I thought Express was default.

Look forward to seeing reviews from people who get it first.
 
As of this morning, my case is in Anaheim, CA. Estimated delivery date: April 9th. Yet another week of my iPad being naked. I knew it was going to take another week. Which means, you guys won't be getting a review from me anytime soon. Oh well, now I get to sit and wait... again.

At least my tracking number works today. :D
