Red leather smart cover finally shipped!
But still no movement on Black 64GB AT&T...
One thing of interest though. I noticed that on the FedEx tracking site, it showed that the smart cover was in Memphis already and showed no activity in Shenzen or HK. This leads me to suspect that some orders make it over here but don't get immediately scanned or at all until they are on home soil simply because they are probably shipped in palettes. It's too hard and too expensive to open every palette and scan the packages which aren't on the periphery.

That is very encouraging for us early order people with "Not yet shipped" status.
Same here. Very frustrating. My secretary said wathcing me obsess about this is like watching a junkie trying to get a fix.
Not to burst anyone's bubble, but I think I read that the covers were shipping from somewhere within the continental U.S. No real evidence, though. I hope you're right.
early order time not yet shipped
My order time is before all of yours who posted on this page and mine isn't shipped yet either but I notice that the AT&T models are starting to ship at least. My status said 3-5 business days from the time I first placed my order so I'm trying to remember that it hasn't been 3 business days yet. Hoping we'll all get at least prepared for shipping status changes this morning.

My wife's white 32 GB non-3G model has had a status of "Prepared to ship" since yesterday. My 64GB black non-3G model is still "Not shipped". Sucks because we're leaving on a vacation to Europe next Monday so it looks like she might get hers before we go, but it's unlikely I'll see mine until we get back. Both show the same standard March 18th-25th expected delivery dates.
I think the 3-5 business days is after the unit ships, not from the time you place your order.
Also, her cover shipped from TN, while mine shipped from China, so I think they already had some in the U.S. on launch day.

wow
How many orders between you and your friend?
guess, 5000 order/min x 26min = 13,000 orders
maybe even more.
I hope they ship first come first serve bases !
My orange poly cover is shipping from China, last scanned in HK on the away to Memphis.
It looks like the white's are barely trickling out much less the 3G White models.
I ordered a 32 3G White ATT at 12:53 PT on the 11th and there has been no movement and I don't see much of this model being declared as "SHIPPED" from hardly anyone.
My freakin' HDMI adapter has been sitting in Hong Kong for 3 days. Come on FedEX... get off your A**.
My black leather case is in trasit to HK (gee... maybe FedEx will leave it there for three days as well).
And, of course, apple cannot seem to ship my AT&T 64GB Black... still sitting in a facotry somewhere.

Thought I'd post mine too: Ordered a 32GB White Wi-Fi around 6:10 AM EST, 3:11 AM PDT. The pink cover shipped pretty much immediately, however the ipad is still saying "not yet shipped".
