I ordered on 3/9 Morrocco/Light blue. Got an email that it should ship between 4/11 and 4/18. I must admit, I am getting a bit impatient.
Got a tip for us?

Love the wavy ridged reinforcement around the camera port. I hope you won't mind the black bumpers. You could probably sent it back for a replacement for clear ones.
Edit: nvm my eyes tricked me the bumpers are suppose to be black since you got the regular black case. XD White ipad made me think 23.5.

Hello all! FYI: We are in serious shipping mode. All hands are on deck for processing. We will not be responding to emails (or FaceBook) for the next 48 hours. Please do not ask if your case has shipped, until Wednesday (lots going out right now!). You will get a shipping notice as it ships. (I'm sure you would rather us be shipping your case, rather than answering emails about if it has shipped yet). --Darin

You can't figure anything out based on order # or date. I'm 5291 ordered on 3/19/11. I haven't gotten my Levant case yet. People who ordered the EXACT same case after me have already received theirs. The previously stated shipping dates all appear to be a "typo" or given by the new guy. They've said on multiple occasions that cases aren't made in order number.
I and a bunch of others got our Moroccos on April 1. However, I believe that was with the small amount of Morocco material they had remaining before the iPad 2 launch, and after that initial shipment there was a delay as they waited for more supply.
Nice, thats good that they are being communicative about that! and by the way, congrats on your case! nice review too
I've skimmed 20 or so pages and can't find the answer...anyone have the dimensions of Portenzo's iPad 2 case?
here's all the big boys:
These are the actual dimensions of the cases,.
Case #1 :
www.treegloo.com
10.2 x 8.2 x .8
Case #2:
http://www.padandquill.com/the-octavo-for-ipad2.html
10.25 in. x 8.15in. x .65 in.
Case # 3:
https://shop.portenzo.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=Notebook-Style-iPad_2-case
Size: 10.125 x 8 x .8
Regarding the Portenzo width here are the dimensions including the optional stylus area:
Size: 10.125 x 8.375 x .8
"Adding the stylus compartment will widen the case by .375" and will accommodate any stylus that will fit in a .375" X .5" X 6" opening."
Do you have the camera cut out option on your Portenzo?
The idea of a flat iPad display is a huge deal breaker for me, i want it to look smooth to the edge, the Portenzo looks superior in almost every way but this would be a huge disappointment, i have heard it may be due to the camera cut out.
I have the camera cutout and the iPad sits basically flush...if I run my fingers around the edge I can tell that one side sits a tiny amount deeper, but just looking at the iPad in the case, I can't see the difference...it's certainly not noticeable during every day use...sorta like backlight bleed
It is about 1/16 - 1/8" deeper on one side. There is a camera cut out on top right and some kind of other padding on bottom right. So it makes sense the left side will sink in a bit.
Also, it doesn't matter if you have camera cut out or not since the frame is standard. Someone earlier in the thread mentioned the same problem and he did not have the camera cut out.
Not hugely noticeable but it is there.
I am not getting a hole in any of my cases - my iphone takes better pics...photobucket transfers it to ipad instantly...
Sure.
Ordered 3/16. Order 5164.
Standard Case, originally Morocco, switched to Levant. Dark Blue interior, with camera hole.
Wow, I ordered on 4/8 and my order # is in the 9400's (Composition II, MagnaGrip, No Strap, Camera Hole). I am over 4000 after you. I hope I get mine before the Holidays!
