Would you be so kind to test out something for me? I’m wondering if that USB-C port on the case can direct power OUT (from iPad to another device). For example, charging an Apple Watch or iPhone or a Bluetooth audio adapter etc.

We know it’s charge only (no data) but we don’t know if it’s two-way charging...

I just plugged in both my iPhone and Apple Watch via USB-C to lightning/USB-C to magnetic changer, and seems to be providing no charge. So this port must be pass through charging iPad only.

What size did you get?

The 11”. Seems to be perfect in terms of sturdiness. Like honestly, no qualms with it’s rigidity. Can’t say the same for the 12.9”, could be heavier to counteract the larger iPad’s weight.
 
Seems like no one who got theirs has the 12.9. I honestly expect to be able to use my MacBook less with the Magic Keyboard

I had the 12.9“ since 2018, far too big for my needs (going to uni, whipping out in lectures, even working on the couch it’s too cumbersome). The 11” has hit an amazing sweet spot for me at least.

I have both a 12.9” iPad Pro and an 11“ iPad Pro, and I ordered a magic keyboard for each of them. It will be interesting to see how they’re similar or different.

Thank you very much!!! Not the answer I was hoping for, but the one I expected. And in all honesty, that is quite OK! Glad to hear all of the positive initial reviews thus far!
 
Thanks for posting pics.

Is it sturdy in your laps? 11” specifically. Or is it too small for that?

Still there is hope as someone on twitter thinks there one has shipped via DHL. Maybe stock is low in UK
 
4/27 to May 4th order here (Ordered Thursday night, without knowing it was going to go up for preorder) still processing. Anyone's move with this date?
 
Shipping notice just received... For 21st April!

First time ever that we’ve ever done a day release pre-order and NOT got it on launch day...

Hey-ho... In the light if the Coronavirus pandemic, there are bigger things to worry about out there!

Syncreon but they haven’t received parcel yet
I think they are the logistics company handling the air freight. Will most likely be handed over to ups / dhl etc.

Same here, most disappointed.

Check again! Mine just updated.

Same here. 12.9 inch arriving tomorrow. I think that’s pretty good really as I was expecting this to be something that could be a late May delivery as a worst case. I can live with a 1 day delay 😃
