with all these people bailing I would like to buy someones place near the front of the line.....anyone interested? I say $100 bux for a top 10 spot? Any takers?
lol..
i guess the thing to think about is we are just a small number of people on the forum who have preordered.. wonder how many people out there that are not on this forum.. i would just like to know are we going preorders first or what? my order went in on the 15th.. i haven't got any email notice of changes or shipment.. nor have i heard anyone else getting emails.. thats what has everyone concerned..
GET R-E-A-L~~~
To those who think that the 3 or 4 of us that have expressed a desire to cancel our orders is going to make the difference between your case shipping tomorrow, vs. in two weeks...........highly unlikely.......

How or where do I change my order to add the camera hole and the elastic in addition to the magna-grip it already has???
Decided to keep my order and upgrade to the white case, as it'll look better with my white iPad.

FYI, for those interested, the contact form on the website specifically mentions that switching the cover material from Morocco to Levant will cut production time in half. While I dig the Morocco better, I think they both look great overall, so I don't mind the change if it means quicker shipping...just sent in my request.

Thanks for the link I let them know I wanted to add a camera hole and elastic band to the magna grip as well as that I upgraded to the 23&1/2....!
Thanks so much for posting the link. I also originally picked the Morocco, but asked that it be changed to the Levant.
Levant looks too cracked. Maybe with enough people cancelling, Morocco will become more available.
Are you talking with 23 1/2 case? As they dont give choices for linen color. But I am still hoping they will make mine with sky blue.
No I know that one doesn't come with an optional interior color. I was asking opinions for the Morocco with either a Dark Purple or Deep Blue Linen to match with my white ipad 2. I won't get the 23 1/2 because all white tends to show more wear and dirt easier.
Just got my iPad 2 today!
Would love to have this case today, but I guess I can wait a couple weeks. Placed an order for Black Morocco/Natural Linen with the elastic strap. Hopefully the 2-3 week estimate doesn't get delayed.
cool.. that you got your ipad 2 today !!
i preordered 2 morocco's so i hope they come soon not 2-3 weeks
I think from one of Darin's posts is that they are/were waiting for a shipment of the Morroco material before they could move forward with those orders.

If someone has not gotten an email response form us in 3 weeks, then something is wrong and we did not receive it, or it was caught in our spam filter. We have answered our emails on an almost HOURLY basis before the iPad 2 launch. Currently, it is taking from one hour to 36 hours for a response, and we *try* to clear the queue every 24 hours (although it's currently more like 48)
Yes, we will be back to hourly email response soon, but there are no stock answers for a temp agency person to copy and paste for our customer email responses. (We try to avoid hiring temporary employees. We like to get to know our team) We get LOTS of different requests and questions. I'm not going to sacrifice quality for speed on this one. Liz is one of our bookmakers and she is adapting to the nature of our customer emails, and accurate responses to our customers needs based on thoroughly knowing our capabilities and our mission.
Again, I do sincerely apologize for communication delays, but I can't simply turn it over to an answering service. It would only lead to more emails (!?)
I originally thought this also, so I've been dragging (literally) my Twenty Three And A Half around for about a week now, and purposefully seeing how much it can take, and testing it's 'clean-ability'. I can definitely say that, so far, it has exceeded my expectations. I'm still grinding it in to every dirt pile I come across, I'll keep you posted.
" WHERES MY CASE!!!!! "
The universal answer is: They are all being worked on. We have had a little slow-down after our first wave (people have been ordering these since the 1st of the month...). We are almost back up to speed.
Will Morocco take longer than all the other cases? Yes.
"So, Levant, Twenty Three And A Half, Old School are shipping quicker?"
Yep, all varieties.
<===================23.5==========================>
The winner of the Twenty Three And A Half contest?
Well, no one guessed the correct answer... But the answers were amazing. I'm humbled by your creativity.
So, Liz picked on of the respondents at random. And the winner is: Leah Greentree (check your email )
The REAL answer as to why It's named the Twenty Three And A Half? Because when I was designing options for a White iPad, I just got overwhelmed with a sense of satisfaction and joy, and I said: "I bet I would rattle off at least twenty reasons why I love what I do."
I came up with Twenty Three And A Half reasons. (I'll post the list once I transcribe it) I know, it's a little mushy.... but that's life!
<=================================================>
To make up for our slowdown, every case ships with FREE FedEx 2Day Air until we are caught up (continental US shipping only).
PLease read before emailing a question on this:
If you have already paid for express 2Day Air shipping then it you will be bumped to Overnight Shipping.
If you have paid for Overnight, then your order will still ship overnight and you will get a $25 credit on your shipping.
Overseas orders will get a credit for your shipping applied to your PayPal or Credit Card. ( I hope this answers questions on this so we don't get more emails, LOL)
Thanks again!
Darin and Team Portenzo
