How is the Smart Cover? Does the device feel wobbly or is it pretty sturdy when using it?
Oddly enough, I find this to be really sturdy compared to the ones I've had for past iPads. I'm still debating whether I like the silicone cover + Smart Cover combo or go with the smart keyboard. I wasn't really sold on the smart keyboard until I got into the store and played with it...and boy is it neat and functional!
 
Love mine! SG LTE

So jelly.
 
Here is my Pro alongside my 2014 MBA 11.6" ... and also my ZaggKeys Universal as I wait for the keyboard cover to arrive next week-ish :)

The keyboard hasn't gotten a lot of love from reviewers. Are there improvements that can be made to the keyboard via software updates?

Took me a while to adjust to the keyboard as well. I think it's because I was so used to the old Air2 keyboard, I felt myself stumbling a bit when using the Pros keyboard (I kept trying to hit the number key to pull up the numbers, not used to the fact that there is a row of numbers just above the qwerty which is possible due to the expansive screen).

I'm loving this keyboard now, and I find myself making fewer mistakes as I type, due to the larger keyboard.
 
I was gone all day (17hr driving trip) and came home to my new iPad (still setting up). First thing I notice was the charging cable. Thank you Apple for finally including a sufficiently long cable!!! I had just received an email today from a friend (older gentleman) that wanted to buy the pro and was asking what cables he should get knowing that they are only a few feet (usually). I was surprised when I saw the new one and emailed him a photo). I'm guessing it is about 5' long.

Yes, I was excited about this as well. Great for keeping it plugged in at a desk!
 
Sure got my Logitech in the mail today from Apple one day after the iPad pro. Ordered the apple one first but that is 2-4 weeks out along with pencil order.

A few shots open and also closed. Picked out the read one which has matching gold inside for keyboard that goes with my gold iPad Pro

Thank you. I ordered. The Smart keyboard yesterday. After I finally made a decision. Just have to wait for Me Pro and Me keyboard. So I can enjoy like you. Congrats.
 
I went to the Apple Store in Hamburg and wanted to get a 128GB WiFi iPad Pro in space grey. Wasn't available, so I went with silver. Not less awesome, I suppose!
Also ordered myself a Logitech create and Apple Pencil (online) but they haven't arrived yet.image.jpeg
 
After a day of using the pro I don't even notice the weight and I hold it in one hand in portrait mode and in landscape mode one handed but resting on my lap. The wif was taking the piss last night as shaturned and said ,"this is what you look like" then picked up her MacBook Pro 13" and held it in portrait position. :)

Why does she have a MacBook Pro 13" when a 10" netbook should be enough for her to do things on? Is the larger screen useful for her?

That shot makes the screen look quite sunken under the surface of the glass. I'm sure it's not like that, and is laminated like the air 2? I don't think I could go back to a non-laminated iPad ever again, it's such an improvement.
 
Anyone considering picking up a Pro to use as a portable external monitor for a macbook using duet display?
 
I didn't have any problem holding the iPad Pro with one hand in both modes....yeah it's bigger than the air but the weight distribution is phenomenal...

can your wife hold the 13" Macbook pro with one hand? :cool:
Just, haha
