Now you get to agonize once again! 😁

If I remember correctly, the order statuses go as follows and should arrive in a week or so (they ship from Toronto, Canada):

Pending (aka Order Placed!) ==> Processing ==> Processed (aka Preparing to Ship!) ==> Shipped ==> Delivered

It’ll all be worth it in the end.
Yes, it’ll be hard to wait, but after the super long wait for my iPad Pro, this will be a piece of cake. I was really torn between the red and the pink, but I loved the look of that flashy red carbon! Like a Ferrari red. 😎
 
Well, seeing your pictures did it! I just ordered the dBrand skin in Red Carbon Fiber. I can’t wait to get it! This is all your fault. 🤣
👀
I really like this, look how Sleek it Looks!

Probably not gonna get it, but I might later.

If I did get it, I would only get the Back Skin. I don’t trust myself to Properly apply the Frame Skins 😂

You’d cover up your engraving? That’s the reason I only got the frame skin for mine lol. I might get camera skin later as well.
I didn’t want the Space Gray finish to wear off Over Time when setting it on Tables, Etc. Also, the Apple Logo on the Back Scratches really Easily and I didn’t want that happening. Kinda sucks that the Engraving would be covered.

Still, probably not gonna get it lol. Rarely leaves my desk. When people start Moving Around again, maybe then I’ll get one. It’s getting late here and I’m tired. Good Night iPad Pro Shipping Class of 2020.

I ordered the whole shebang, except for the pencil. If I can do it, anyone can do it, lol. I’ll make sure to post pictures of the finished product.

I liked the way they said that after you screw up the install to call them and they’ll make sure you get it right. Not “if” you screw it up, but “when”. Too funny.

That’s why I got the Silver. It hides wear and tear better over time than the Space Grey and I am more comfortable going around with it when it’s not in a case or the Magic Keyboard.

Yeah, they have a real sense of humour lol. You should watch their YouTube installation videos - they suggest you use a toaster to apply the camera skin and to vaccinate the one for the Galaxy S20 onto the phone. 😆

Yeah, I saw that about the toaster in the video. I was like whaaaat??? No way, lol. It wouldn’t fit even if I wanted it to. I wonder how many people take that seriously?
 
I haven't thought of this until now, but is there an alternative way to wake up the Pro without using the power button like the newer versions of the iPhone? Like tapping the screen or lifting the device? Thanks.
Edit: answered below

You can tap the screen. It doesn’t work when you lift it up, though.

What is the average time for “processing to preparing to shipping.” ? Is that ETA really accurate or should I be worried it didn’t move yet. I cannot calm down last part is the worst part of waiting 😂

There doesn’t seem to be as much movement on IPP’s as there was last week. There were quite a few forum members that indicated their IPP’s had moved to shipping status late last week, but not much happening this week.
 
Not sure but I ordered mine on sept 1st with estimated sept 24- oct 1 and its still processing

Mine is set to 21-27th September. Still waiting for a movement. And yes this week was really quite. No one had any change or at least I didn’t. I talked with an Apple Emplyee on the phone for another topic but at the end she told me “it can be any moment from now on” . It’s been 3 days since then. 😂

Trust me, once it ships, that’s the most agonizing part of the wait. Dont forget, once it starts traveling in the air, you can track your flight on flightaware.com. Most of us did that back in the old days-July and August, lol. 🤪

I just received a shipping notification from dBrand. I can’t believe it’s shipping already! I just ordered it last night. Hope it gets here fast. It says it’s shipping out of New York.

The very basic one actually 😂 11” 128GB Space Gray with no engraving.

Probably you are right but I’d die for a movement right now. I’m starting to think it’ll never ship and arrive 😂

They took the fun flight tracking away from me. Mine came on an unknown flight to the warehouse in Carlisle, PA. From there I got a tracking number.
