Just orderd another one for Friday the 4th delivery. THey also had faster shipping to get it to you by the 3rd. Order now, not sure how ling this will be up for again..
 
HAHAHA - was too busy ordering and checking for confirmation email. Got the pencil last week, so this should complete my IPP :)
I di find it odd how they open it up to order and close it seconds later. Strange. How is the pencil? worth it, mine arrives today sometime..

I love the pencil, the palm rejection works great with all the apps I use. Even work great with my main note taking app notes plus app. Not much of an artist, use it for technical drawings, pdf markups, and of course notes.

You won't be disappointed!

thanks! thats what i was hoping for..
 
Wooooo finally got one ordered (keyboard). No more wasted trips to the Apple Store, cancelled staples ordered, and Best Buy checking. Comes Dec 4

Same for me.

I plan on taking the Smart Cover back once I receive the Smart Keyboard.

I'm wondering.. The return date on the receipt shows the 8th of January, will that be store credit or do I still have to return it back within 14 days in order to get cash back.

Thanks! Just ordered one... No more travels to the  Store only to see no stock available..

FYI, I just ordered one and Best Buy said it was in stock but as soon as the order went through it switched to backordered. Bit of a bait-and-switch right now.

There are 6 Smart Keyboards on the shelf at my local Best Buy. Oddly, the BB website says that it's not available for in store pick up. Maybe folks should try going to their local store and looking for it.

Well friends my Apple Smart Keyboard arrived a day early at Best Buy. So I cancelled my Apple order. Weird that Best Buy beat my Apple order. It still was crazy at BB with many shoppers.

So far I like the keyboard a lot. It does seem to take a little more effort to type on than my 12" rMB (which I passed onto to my kid). Maybe it just seems like that since I'm balancing it on my lap. I'm getting a little rocking balanced on a crooked, crossed leg. The keyboard does seem "crisp", not mushy. I'm grateful for that. Certainly not as easy to balance at the rMB was, but acceptable. I am going to have to get used to no track pad, but will adapt.

When I picked up the box at Best Buy I thought OMG this feel heavy. Well once out of the box and attatched I'm feeling it is fine. Deducting the weight of the Apple cover for the keyboard cover makes it seem like not a big deal.

I also like how the Smart Keyboard can fold, in a triangle, like the plain old cover that gets the keyboard out of the way. That seems to work as well as the Smart Cover, maybe with a little less angle. All in all the Apple keyboard beats the on screen keyboard, and all folded up it does not add a lot of weight or thickness.

Where is this local Best Buy your referring to?

My order has been switched to back order.. Just canceled it.

Oh well, back to drawing board..
