I finally got it
 
hi guys my iPad finally arrived! Thought I'd share my unboxing video. it was no fun to check this thread every day and talk about shipping lol.

Great video! I liked that your wallpaper goes great with your case (I almost ordered that one myself).

Paranoid me though, I would be worried applying the screen protector before powering the iPad on, lol. What if I went through all that trouble and I was unlucky enough to get one that was DOA? 😳

didn't even think of that lol! I would've been shocked if it didn't turn on. Guess I was following other people on YT that put the protector on before turning on the iPad.

Yep, I had to return a couple last month due to screen issues (dead pixel with one and a backlighting issue with another) right out of the box, so I'm definitely gonna check my screen thoroughly after it arrives next week to make sure everything looks good before putting my screen protector on lol. I presume yours was perfect @viennasalvatore. 👍
 
All of the accessories I ordered for my iPad and Apple Pencil (cases, screen protectors, etc) are supposed to be here today via Amazon. Figuring out if I should open them today or wait on the iPad to arrive. I can at least put the Apple pencil in its silicone sleeve...maybe that will allay some anxiety?! Lol.
What accessories did you get?

I ordered my Switcheasy Coverbuddy Case in black. It arrives Wednesday. I must not drop the iPad until then. I can do this.

It looks pretty promising, especially since there’s a Apple Pencil Holder. I’m pretty scared of Losing it.

Hopefully this case gives me Assurance that I can keep it places that aren’t my Desk on top of my Microfiber Towel.

I’d recommend buying one if you have the Apple Folio Case, Folio Keyboard, or Magic Keyboard. It adds the Side Drop protections that all 3 of these Cases lack.

Here is the Link:


After I told my Friend about me getting the Coverbuddy Case his reaction was:

”So you’re getting a case for your case. Ok. Makes sense. So I’ll get a skin for my OtterBox case.”

His Jokes aren’t funny. Us Clumsy Magic Keyboard with iPad Pro owners are suffering. We need to invest in a $40 case that has more Durabilty than the $300 Case we just got for our $1000+ iPad-Pro-Laptop-Thing.

Mine was in Anchorage for about 3 hours. Don’t know how long yours will stay though.

If it's able to get on one of the flights to Louisville this afternoon, there's a chance it could arrive in my city as early as tomorrow morning. If that's the case, I could get it on Monday, two days before the current scheduled delivery date. Should find out in the next hour, as that's when the bulk of the Louisville-bound flights take off!
 
The Ripple is very small but there. This hurts me so much. At least when it’s on the MK you can’t see it much. But it’s there.

I treat my Devices very well, and this wouldn’t have happened if I wasn’t stupid and kept it on one of those chairs with the Slippery Cloth.

I’m saving AppleCare+ for something bad, like the Screen Cracking or dents on all 4 Corners.

The Aluminum on this is Either Very Thin or very weak compared to my old iPad Pro. I dropped my old one from a Meter height with NO case on onto Solid Marble. It got the same dent as this one falling onto Wood from 20cm.

That's really painful to see. I had a smaller but similar dent out of the box on one of the ones I returned back in May. They probably dropped it at the factory during manufacturing. :(

Here's a pic:

It looks like there are like five flights I’m seeing to Louisville! Same for me on early arrival — from Louisville it’ll be off to Grand Rapids and then on to my small town possibly before I head back to my classroom next week! Here’s hoping movement again soon!

although I’ve always wanted to see Alaska. If it could unwrap itself and take a few pictures...😂😂

I got a departure scan from Anchorage at 3:19pm - I'm guessing you probably did too! There is a flight tomorrow shortly before 6am to my city in Canada (Calgary) from Louisville with a stopover in Sioux Falls, SD. I'm hoping it gets on that which would allow me to get it Monday.

Erh mergerhd! I got that scan! We’re headed to Kentucky!!! (Maybe the first time that sentence was ever typed with multiple exclamation points?)

I’m going on past precedence that it’ll go straight to Michigan from there but nothing about this order has been by the book. Currently looking at possible flights to GR from UPS 😂😂

this kind of detective work has really made my wife’s day. “ITS IN ALASKA! IT MADE THE FLIGHT” I yelled from the porch.

“I’m so happy for you. Shut up and leave me alone!” She calls back.
