Seems like us 23.5'ers are receiving the worse of the shafting, hoping my custom 23.5 is out their door before tomorrow, considering I'm within the: "all 23.5 ordered before 4/1 ship by 4/11" and they failz that already, derp derp derp
 
I got a nice surprise today!!!...caught me totally off guard, as I did not receive a shipping notice. It just showed up!

All I can say is....WOW!!! This thing is a beautiful work of art. It was totally worth the wait! For everybody still waiting...hang in there and don't give up! You won't be disappointed!

Thank you Darin and the Portenzo Team!!!

Here's a few pics...Levant with dark blue

While it is a HUGE no-go to write "shut up" - "stop emailing us, we won't answer".
I really hope that Portenzo will ship a lot of orders in the next 24 hours and then return as a brand new company.

Return saying: "We are now up to order XXXX" and will from now on do daily updates of how many orders go out each day"

Not this immature way of running a company and doing bad facebook updates while deleting any unwanted comments.
 
comixster...I like the dark blue. Not really much to say...it's pretty conservative...which I like. The picture might be a tad bit lighter than the real thing.

Dude what is wrong with you? They don't sell just iPad2 cases and they aren't sending out stuff numerically.

Dude,solve this by canceling your order and take your $$$ elsewhere. No need to put up with it. Really, why give them your money if you don't like how they do business?
 
anyone here who actually owns 3 cases - treegloo, octavo and portenzo?

or do i have to just wait for me to give a quick comparison review?

I believe username blueridge is planning to review all three when he gets them. So far I think he just has the P&Q.
I myself am still getting a treegloo but not the P&Q.
 
Hey guys,

Really tempted to buy a composition portenzo case. How good is it for typing on a flat surface (using the spine to raise it a little) is it sturdy?

Also, has anyone been able to use the iPad dock in conjunction with the case?

Has anyone actually received a composition for the iPad2 yet? Portenzo's facebook said that any pre-4/1 orders should be shipping by 4/15. I really hope mine just shows up at my door - still haven't seen a shipping notice or change in my order status beyond 'processing'.

Whatever they estimate, add 1-3 weeks and that's the REAL wait -__-
 
They forgot the MagnaGrip

Well I finally got my case, I am very happy with it, however they forgot to include the MagnaGrip magnet, I had asked for this on my original order, even the paperwork in the shipment mentioned this but there is no MagnaGrip.

Emailed Darin to see what can be done...

The case is absolutely beautiful otherwise.


***UPDATE***
Darin said he will send a replacement in 1 to 3 weeks, I asked if I can use this opportunity since I will be waiting anyways to order the 76. Lets see...

Did you put your iPad in the case? The Magnagrip cover attracts to the iPad.

You should be able to see 4 round magnets underneath the cloth on the inside cover if it is included.

Nope no Magnets, I hold it upside down and it opens, no hold at all...
 
Mehhhh I've been more than patient and I continue to be patient, but this "don't contact us through any means for 48 hours" is ridiculous and rude.

It's true the cases are masterpieces, but if they keep the poor CS, even the most diehard of fans will look for alternatives and give up on them =/

Does the cover make the ipad wake/sleep when open and close? With or with MagnaGrip, it's supposed to do this, if it doesn't then Portenzo send you a cover for the iPad1

On the Portenzo Website this is what it says
Automatic sleep/wake feature included by default (no charge), no matter what options you choose

Yes it does do the sleep wake feature, this is definitely a iPad 2 case, just the MagnaGrip part was omitted...

That's highly disappointing that you had to wait for your case and then when you got it, it was wrong. Even more disappointing that they are going to make you wait another 1-3 weeks to make it right.
