I've got an i-pad for sale if anyone's interested

(Many thanks to Uncle Percy for doing the modelling)

That picture seems apt somehow... My challenge for this afternoon has been getting something called 'Popovers' to work in my iPad code.   

But the hardest bit about these Popovers, that needs lots of testing, is 'rotation handling'.  Maybe Uncle Percy better brace himself....

For the record, I went for one of these, and I just noticed I've received dispatch notification.   I'll be awaiting the postman with eager anticipation for the next few days...

hahahahaha - very funny

Mines not quite the same, but Im well pleased with it due to its multifunctionally for use as keyboard,  a stand and although its not a proper docking station in the official sense, it easily becomes one...  and lastly its a fairly sturdy case.

Tbh I think I'm might like one.My mobile is a Samsung Omnia 7 with touch screen with Windows Phone as the o/s.I am very impressed with the touch screen,didn't think I would be but I am.The only downside is the size is a little small for old tired eyes

Wow that is a bargain!   It has got to be the colour!   
That pouch looks like it may take the keypad case as well.   When you get it, will you please let me know if they both fit in as if so I may order one too.

I'm hoping it will, though won't be too disappointed if it doesn't.  I'll let you know.  I've just seen the dispatch notification, so it's in its way, not as I only ordered it at breakfast time.

.  I've just seen the dispatch notification, so it's in its way, not as I only ordered it at breakfast time

... and still no sign of it , despite supposed dispatch by royal mail:(

Clearly it's too soon to complain, but it wouln't be the first time an amazon merchant had turned to have a suspiciously high 'lost in the post' rate.

Let's hope I'm wrong.

Royal Mail isn't doing too well with on-time deliveries at the moment - I had a before 1pm next day delivery turn up 3 days late this week.  Contacted supplier who is tearing his hair out - over 50% 0f his "premium" shipments are delivered late at the moment.

>> Royal Mail isn't doing too well with on-time deliveries at the moment

It doesnt... Im awaiting a parcel that I was expecting this morning from Royal Mail, but no sign, and Ive noticed of late 1st class can take up to a week. 
Which I suppose is better than the several pieces of mail that I never got at all just before christmas. 
They were from different people, one of them being kimi , another from my brother and yet another from an old school friend.  None of the items turned up.  I find it a bit strange that 3 people saying they sent cards that never arrived more than a bit strange.

Interesting comments, I've very rarely had a problem with Royal Mail.  I could put it down to good local posties but my stuff always seems to get here on time no matter where it's posted from, so it's not just the postie.

I did have a very annoying experience with one of these 'unbranded' white van deliveries last week.  The guy had failed to get a reply at the door of a neighbour down the lane, and he'd then tried other houses down the lane who were also out, til he got to me... by now about 300 yards from the addressee.  I signed and accepted, and he promised he'd leave a note to say I'd got it.  Needless to say, he never did leave that note, and I didn't have their phone number, so it was down to me to walk all the way down there to tell them I'd got their parcels, they'd no idea.

Anyways, thanks for the encouraging comments, I hope to submit a slightly sheepish reply soon saying my iPad case has arrived safe and sound

The RM 'Special delivery next day' service has a tracking system, and your supplier should have given you the tracking number. I've used this service three times in the last couple of months (twice to receive things and once to send an item) and all three arrived mid morning the next day, and the tracking information was up to date. So I'm always a little sceptical when suppliers blame RM - it's just too easy to do.

My parcel arrived this morning. 
Didnt hear the bell at all..  but I had one of those red and white RM cards through the door saying "Look in Green Bin".

Agreed - the one that was late in coming went a very roundabout route according to the tracking info.  The supplier gives the tracking info in his shipped notification.
