how do ya like that Cyprus green smart folio you just scored on the marketplace?
Love it! I usually prefer black but I had misplaced my 11 in. black folio when I convinced myself that I could handle the 12.9 in ipad. Jokes on me lol. But I definitely like it better than the black. Doesn’t show smudges as easy either. Still shows them tho.

All set for now, will probably pick up another pitaka case and maybe get the Dbrand green camo skin for the folio. Had the black leather skin on the black folio and loved it. As for if I do receive the 12.9 iPad and keyboards , I have 2 friends that need the keyboards and the iPad I’ll either keep as an activity tablet for my kid since she needs to start practicing drawing shapes and such, or resell it and save up for the rainy day fund. We will see!

I wouldn’t mind a leather smart folio tho, kinda upset they did away with those.

Best Buy is one of the only places I know that actually ships out price errors luckily. So I still have some faith. That along with the other people who have received them. Here’s some of my other scores ? it gets addicting lol
Costco honors mistakes and Amazon in some cases as well.

I just wanted to say after following this thread for awhile I was looking at my local Best Buy and found they had the 2020 iPad Pro 11 for $584 open box so I took the plunge and bought it. Turns out they sold it before I picked it up at the store but since I had already purchased it they gave me the last new one they had in the store for the same price. I like the 11” form.

Good deal. They had the 11 inch 2021 open box excellent for sale about an hour ago. Saw a 128gb 11 in for 639

Yea at least here locally over the weened new ones were $649 and I was going to get that one but they had the open box so I was like I’ll get it save $100 buy AppleCare+ and turn it in a little later to get a replacement if the issues bothered me to much. From all the reviews the 2021 and 2020 11” was the same for what I’m doing with it. I don’t create anything and hardly play games. Just browse YouTube mainly.

My iPad Pro 256gb 12.9 order was cancelled today

oh well

was told
From chat they should be arriving at warehouse today last week or so too. Sucks

my two 12.9 keyboards are still having a delayed status but I’d expect they get cancelled tomorrow too

thanks it’s all good

at least I got the 11” magic keyboard for $99 which I’m using with my m1 iPad... which I also got for $600 and a bit less when cash back kicks in (not including tax) since both $100 and recently retroactively $50 off 500+ coupons stacked with a $749 base price, AND won the panel lottery on that unit.

can’t be too upset and it was quite the ride. Still... always better when it delivers haha. And bit disappointing the rep on live chat said it would for sure not be cancelled, I thought that was a bit suspect. The ETA's seem suspect too.

Good deal! Panel lottery is a b*tch. I also pulled a good panel on my 11 m1. The only thing is my darn volume up button is a little loose. The other two are solid.

I also checked with chat - once order is cancelled they can't re-instate it or place another order for something OOS.

just as a heads up for others who get auto cancellation

still glad at least a couple people (2? 3?) were able to get on it

I wonder if there just aren't any more / won't be any more coming in stock. I'm going to try to keep my cancellation in play for another week or two, but I'm feeling like it's got a 5% chance of happening now.

We’re you able to extend your cancellation?

Okay, so here's my secret (I did some Googling as well). Chrome has a "Page Monitor" extension that will tell you when a page changes. It stays up in the little extensions at the top right (after telling it to monitor the page), and then turns green when something happens. So I kept the 2 BB tabs up and had the Page Monitor watch them. The problem is, I kept repeatedly missing when it popped up while I was working, gaming etc.

You can add a "chime" sound but I rarely have my sound on, it's always muted. Last night while playing Fortnite on my PC (I'm a nerd), I set my MacBook Pro up next to me with the sound on LOUD, and gamed for awhile. When I heard the chime, I refreshed the page and was able to add it to cart. Downside is, my Visa always wants an extra text verification from BestBuy, so here I am with it in the cart trying to check out and freaking that the Visa is doing the text authentication. :D It was amusing, but I got lucky. I'm really hoping the unit doesn't disappoint and it works well!

Hey, tekchic—have you still been monitoring the iPad? Very curious if it’s been available at all since the iPP returned. If not, then maybe BB is trolling this page!

On the plus side I scored a unlocked 12 pro for $720 plus tax along with a $200 gift card after 2 months of service ($65 total). So I guess it could be worse. We need a dedicated deals section around here
