My order also changed to “order placed”. Spoke to Apple care and they are saying that too many orders were placed contrary to expectations so they have dialed back shipping dates on some orders and are reassessing stock and will provide delayed updated shipping dates (the problem is for the US only. Europe orders are shipping according to existing schedule). They also said this process may take some time since their servers are currently overworked because of the SE launch.

an apple care rep gave you all that info? Lol
 
I have the skin from bestskinsever.com for my 12.9” 2018 model.
I have the rear glossy skin and sides protection too. I have a glass screen protector that I got from Amazon.com.

I want to second this. I too have the BSE skin, although matte, for rear and sides. It's an excellent option that fully allows access to smart connectors and pencil charging without any issue.

Like everyone else, my order vanished but worked when accessed by email. I just got a notification a minute ago that Apple charged my card. Order status is still processing, with delivery between April 21-23.

Same here. USA. Ordered minutes after announced.
 
My order moved from Order Placed back to Processing but my card hasn't been charged yet....(but I had a 4/24-5/1 date)
 
omg, the order page now shows an unknown credit card for my order. I don’t have and never had a CC with these numbers ... maybe I get my keyboard for free and someone else has to pay for it.

cheers

Did you use an Apple Card? The Device Account Number will show there instead of the actual last 4 of the card.
Nope, it’s not available in Germany. At first I payed with Apple Pay until I got an error saying: your CC can not be verified. I changed it to my normal CC in the morning.
