Anyone who ordered the black LEATHER Smart Cover from apple.com receive theirs yet?

Mine went to shipped two days ago and was supposed to be delivered Thursday, but this morning it was still in Hong Kong, and now the delivery date is 3/22.
 
OK, for ALL of you that had your iPad via Narita Japan. There are TWO flights from their daily to Anchorage.

Flight Departure Scheduled Arrival Scheduled Status
FX 158 Tokyo 7:45 PM Anchorage 9:08 AM Scheduled
FX 60 Tokyo 10:44 PM Anchorage 12:01 PM Scheduled

MY GUESS is that we caught the 7:45PM flight and our iPads are scheduled to arrive in Anchorage at 9:08AM LOCAL TIME e.g in 3 hours or so's time.

I was right. Mine has just arrived in Anchorage.

i just noticed the $ credited back to my account for my ipad but not for the ipad cover. Anyone else have this happen to them? I'd like to know whats up.

It wasn't an actual charge to begin with, only a hold on your card. When the merchant inputs your account number with the amount, there's an automatic hold placed on your card. Typically the purchase is instant so the hold turns into a charge about 3 days later. But since Apple didn't actually charge your account, the hold automatically disappeared 3 days later. The charge "hold" will reappear again once your order is shipped (purchased)
 
Well it's not to good for me, my smartcase and ipad are out for delivery.. but im in the UK and they're heading to some guy in Greenville, SC so he can forward it to me. Problem is i can't get hold of him over email as he is at work today i think.. so i don't think he knows they're coming... so he'll oribably miss the deliveries.

Things that are totally out of your control suck :p :)
 
My Smart Cover just got dropped off, though my iPad looks like it's probably going to be hanging out in Memphis until about 3am tomorrow morning when the next flight out to Portland leaves.

Meanwhile, the Smart Cover will function as a triangular desk decoration. Goody.
 
Thanks for the info! :) i would just like to know why its not even processed for shipping yet. Anyone else having a problem getting their white 16gb wifi status to go to "processed for shipping?"

My black leather smart cover is due in on this Friday (3/18). but my black 3G ATT 64GB iPad, well, that's a different story. :(

Perhaps I can fold the cover into different shapes to amuse myself as I wait.

I answered your question too - just sayin.

But, yes. I ordered a 16GB White Wifi on Friday, March 11 at 12:45 am PST. I have not had any updates on it- still "not yet shipped". My smartcover, though, shipped Friday and arrived Saturday. I am guessing there is a problem with supply for the 16GB white wifi- you are about the 5th person besides myself I have heard say their order of that model has not been prepared to ship.
 
Mine too ! :D Any hints on the next flights (numbers for flightaware) out of Anchorage,AK to Memphis (or somewhere else). Mine goes to Vermont... I don't know if it should pass thru Memphis first or not.
