I'm just wondering how long I'll have to wait till I'll be able to get a Belkin Grip Vue in the UK Apple Store. How long was it after the release of the iPad were there third party accessories available in the US Apple Stores? 1-2 weeks?
Got a tip for us?

When did the US Apple Stores have third party accessories in stock?

I pretty sure that when I was in Orlando just after launch the Belkin Grip Vue was one of the only cases with plenty of availability.
In the U.S. they were available on Day One. The Grip Vue cases are falling off the racks here. Zero shortage of those in any Apple Store I've been to in the past month. FWIW, I don't think they are worth $50 -- and they are probably even more expensive in the UK.
No doubt that our Apple store was selling multiple accessories. I bought the Incase protective back cover for mine and love it. Apple was "cashing in" on the accessory sales and I can't blame them. Most places like Best Buy do not have a clue and are sold out quickly!
