I am about to travel to Japan for a short vacation. Almost gave up completely hope to find what on subject. Then remembered Japan has at the same time a large and aging Apple customer base.

And so, with surprise, after a quick search discovered Rakuten eshop appears to have stock. Anyone with experience of buying from them with local delivery?

I don’t speak nor read Japanese. Machine translation is not perfect so would rather have some feedback before investing more time into it. Thanks.

Posting from Japan. Rakuten has indeed very limited stock of 9.7” Smart Cover. What they describe as warehouse clearance items with small defects on the packaging. Delivery time was a concern but after some web chat over few days the shop was very helpful and devised a way. In the end it was not necessary since found a new one, unopened, in a chain shop called Best Denki. Which sells all sorts of items.
