bought a wifi version at Best Buy but now i think i want to use my ipad minis SIM in one, especially if it becomes my everything computer. These things are scarce, though. Anyone have tips/luck finding these? Pretty set on space black only. Best Buy and Apple stores are saying no stock in 300 miles.

My main concern is Best Buy (or other stores, really) not getting them in before my return deadline :)
 
why not buying one from apple.com?

plus, it's hoilday season now, you should have until January (or February for bestbuy elite members) to return the ipad. plenty to get one. check your receipt or call bestbuy to make sure of it.

mostly 18 months interest free financing, but also because i bought it from bestbuy and as silly as it is, i feel weird returning it straight out without an exchange.

yeah i think i qualify for the longer return, but at this point im wondering if theyll have enough stock to meet that deadline too
 
come on, if you are qualified for longer return, then i guess it's unitl february, they sure will have at least one in at least one store around you before that.
 
I ordered it from Apple. They shipped it from China and it arrived yesterday. The more I think about it, I probably didn't need LTE on this one due to the size. It'll get used on the road far less than my old ones.
 
Theyre my provider too, but i wonder if they would do that if i told them i just wanted to swap sims

Worth a shot. I tried to order at 7am and they said space grey was sold out, I tried again at 9am and my order went through, and shipped this evening. I'd call asap tho.
 
i ordered the gray 128gb LTE direct from best buy online and received it thursday last week. i suggest you place an order online and have them ship it.
