Yep. Mine first said that 10 days ago and continues to say the same. right now its been 4 weeks/28 days. I expect it to go another 4 weeks.
Well if you're OK with waiting double or longer than your promised waiting time then all the more power to you. You know what they say, nice guy's finish last
I can assure you that Portenzo was not influenced by your little threat to call your attorney. The average shipping time just happens to be 7 weeks therefore the shipment of your case was imminent.
Portenzo and everyone else is laughing at your naivety. People are not influenced by a naive unsophisticated individual who makes spurious threats especially when they have zero cause of action.
Anyone seen the Rookcase? It's the same moleskin style, seems to be a less well known company since I can't find any reviews on it. It has the sound chamber and smart cover style too.
The company still seems mom and pop like, maybe this is a good alternative to Portenzo?

Awww, someone's mad! The internet is serious business!
Well my case just turned up!
Ordered ~8 weeks ago, Comp II with red lining. The email response was great! I'm going away next week and asked a few weeks ago (politely) if it would be ready by then, if not it's fine.
They said they couldn't assure me that it would, but it has! For all those who think scream and threatening lawyers (and throwing their toys out of the pram like a baby) being polite generally gives you what you want.
I'd post pictures but the only camera I have is the one on my 3GS.

I did the same. Going on vacation next week and asked if I could get it before then. They said no go
Ordered mine today
I am figuring it'll be the standard eight weeks and am planning on pacing my expectations to be the same. Sadly, I am not as patient a man as I'd like to be. Hopefully I wont resort to litigation. This thread has been a great resource so I thank you all. I'll keep you updated as the weeks roll by.

I ordered a case in feb and cancelled about 3 weeks later when they "went dark". They refunded my money on the first email.
I ordered my 2nd case in April, thinking things were calming down. My case came in 4 weeks and two days with no emails, threatening or whining on any electronic media. It was of lesser quality, so they replaced it in 2.5 weeks, I think their site is accurate at 4 -6 weeks for standard, non custom stuff. I can understand paypal resolution or CC reversal actions, but can someone explain to me how you "litigate" an $80 case?

although if this is a std case - 8 weeks is unacceptable....the P&Q cases are really just as good, IMO....my point is why make a big stink about a ipad case?...just move on, as others are out there....

I finally received my Portenzo and it is beautiful. However I had also pirchased a Marware case while I was waiting. The Marware case, though not as pretty, serves my needs better. My question is does anyone here want to buy my Portenzo? It's a Morrocco black on black, magnetic cover with strap, camera hole and stylus holder. Thanks!

What the heck is your order number ??? Have you e-mailed Scott ??? I find this truly hard to believe ,especially since they say they are shipping in the 10000's???????????
These cases look great in all, I'm not going to wait that long to receive it. Wish they had earlier times to receive them.
pretty sad to hear that the sky blue didnt turn up as expected... i hope guys@portenzo are going to rectify this...
What do you mean? What is wrong with the sky blue lining?
I ordered my standard notebook case on April 12 order number 95xx. It finally shipped this past Friday. Too bad I left the country to live overseas on Thursday. When I ordered ship time was 3-4 weeks. Whenever I finally have my case forwarded to me I hope I am blown away as so many have been.
Oops my bad, sorry guys, sorry Scott if your following.. 8 weeks, not 80 odd days. A little less insane but insane nonetheless.. No?
Not trolling here people, honest mistake..
Emailed Scott, early in week 5, was told it should ship by mid week of week 6..
Emailed Scott in week 6, received a generic response and saw my case enter production on myportenzo.com with an estimation of shipping within a week..
Emailed Scott the day before yesterday and am awaiting his response.
All of my correspondence has been very civil and understanding of the position they find themselves in. He has been very responsive even though I do suspect one of his responses to be cut and paste ("I do apologize for the delay. We are working very hard on getting these cases out in a decent time frame without sacrificing quality. Thanks, Scott") and he hasn't answered everything in my emails..

I had a post couple pages back about my case. Basically, almost similar, i was order # mid 10,000's, ordered april 16th, was told may 28th or so that my case would ship in a week. After that non-response response and that no date could be provided, emailed scott last week around monday/tuesday, he said he was surprised my case hadn't shipped and would get back to me.
I then received my shipping noticed, which shipped out on saturady.
So basically i think in portenzo's mind 8 week is the limit, and at this point I am sure your case will be shipped very very soon. The case itself they make in about a day i think.
