I'm pretty sure a few people on here are keen on the Harber cases for their Apple devices.
I really like my MBP sleeve and they do some nice sleeves for the current gen iPads so hoping they confirm compatibility for the new ones soon (as there's only 1mm difference in width and height)

Been debating upgrading my 12.9 2017 iPad Pro and think I will go for the 11 inch iPad Pro M4 now

Been waiting for OLED and the 11 inch is the size I'm going for as I've got a MBA so no real motivation to go for the 13 inch

Waiting for EE to sell them as I'd like to get cellular contract as will use it to take to work with me

Exact same models I am upgrading from and too (well 2017 10.5" Pro not 12.9"). Think we should see a really nice difference :)
I would avoid EE unless you want to spread the cost of the iPad too as you will pay a premium for doing so.

In many years of iPad ownership I have never bothered with AppleCare+, but I am considering it this time for the iPad Pro. The thinness and new screen tech add a couple of new risks which might justify the extra expense. My old 10.5" Pro has the bright spot issue and so I'm thinking that a no quibble warranty for the OLED would be wise.

AC+ is well worth it one mishap and it pays for itself

I was only going to go with EE as looking for a cellular iPad and I'm currently with Voxi who use Vodafone who I've not been massively impressed with tbf

Just realised that there's no price difference in price between the keyboards for the Air and Pro. Thought for some reason there was a £50 difference.

My order has moved to preparing to ship!

My Air that I order quite soon after the event also moved to PTS this afternoon but no movement yet on the Pro (or its new accessories) that I ordered later in the evening but imagine I'll see that change tonight. Only spotted because the money was showing pending on my card.

Price difference between the 11" and 13" though.

I can’t find the price of a screen repair without AC+ (£25 with) on the new iPads but other damage category is £79 with AC+ and £959 without AC+ on the new 13” iPad pro.

Just ordered mine (13”, MK and Pencil Pro) and payment was taken as I was doing the order!

Will get a skin for my MK as the base of my previous one has a fair bit of wear on it after 4 years of use.

Agreed. The leather Harber sleeve for my 2018 11” iPP has been used every work day for 6 years and it still holds up.

issues with payment. Paid yesterday with apple pay connected to my main account and made sure there was money in the account. Tried again with my actual debit card and it got rejected - answered a text from the bank, retried - no good. Tried again and authorised through the app - still failed.

Now on hold..

sorted. Even got a failure on the phone and had to approve again on text

I have the 2018 Pro, 11 and 12.9 which are still really good but really want now to get the 13 Pro M4. I think having the M4 is going to be beneficial when new OS is released. I like the Air too but I would miss Face ID. Decisions.

I was in a similar boat. While I figured I could live with the Air in terms of downgrading from Face ID to Touch ID, I felt that the losing Promotion on an All Screen device would be too much of a loss. Also I needed at least 256GB of storage and when you take the price of the Air at that tier it’s not too far away from the Pro.
