Thanks and congrats!!!

It's easy just use alot of the shield spray I used the hole thing just on the front side. And before u do it I would pull out the camera hole and home button the paper back and all and lay it on top of the screen to get and I idea of where it needs to be for the home button and camera to line up

Got mine at Best Buy on Friday. Was about 30th in line. No problem getting my 64g wifi. I chose Best Buy because they were the only ones I knew of who offered a warranty that covered glass breakage. You can do almost ANYTHING under the BB warranty and get it fixed or replaced. With my track record with electronics that's a must. (we won't discuss the kindle in the bathtub incident....)

This is my first ipad and I am in AWE! I've been downloading apps like crazy and trying to figure out all it can do. I just discovered the compass features this morning and it blew my mind. I'm leaving for Europe a week from tomorrow and this is going to keep me highly entertained. Just hope the battery lasts the whole flight! Already have a European charging adapter on board. :)

If anybody is looking for warranty I would go over to square trade.com i got a 2 year warranty that covers every thing but lost and stolen for 71.99 for my 32gb AT&T ipad2 if anybody is interested us coupon code IPAD40 to get 40% off I don't know how long code is good for so if your going to do it I would do it soon before it ends because it's about 150$ I think before coupon code

I got mine. I spent some time calling various stores during the day and it paid off; I went to a Target store in a less-than-trendy neighborhood and I was first in line at 4:35! Out the door by 5:10. Pretty sweet.

This is my first Apple product in more than 10 years so I'm having an even more "new" experience than those of you that have owned an iPod or iPhone before.

I love it! It's magical. It's not perfect and there are things I like better about Android. But holy crap the app store is just awesome. The app selection is a billion times better than Android.

Aaarrrgggg! That's less than a third of what I paid for my warranty! I wonder if I can "return" my BB warranty?

Purchased, no lines no issues

I finally pulled the trigger on the iPad 2 (my 1st iPad) and am new to this forum.
I was on my way to Cape Cod Friday night and stopped into the Best Buy in Hyannis, MA at about 6:35 PM. The lines (which I was told initially were long) were gone and I was able to get a black, 32GB, WiFi + 3g (Verizon) and the flip cover in record time. They were out of the light blue covers and I ended up with a gray one which I actually prefer now.

I Ripped a movie to an ipad format and watched it on the way back to Connecticut. Pretty good quality. However I did notice something strange. The part of the cover that doesn't come in contact with the glass, when in place, leaves 3 faint 1/4" wide shadow type lines on the screen. It was really only noticable when the sun was reflecting off the screen or the iPad 2 held at a certain angle. What's strange, is it's appears to be the foldable sections of the cover that doesn't come in contact with the screen that where the lines are visable on the glass. Anyone else see this? It did clean up OK but I see it back again. I'm wondering if maybe the soft felt like material it is made of, might be off-gassing a bit as it's not actually coming in contact with the glass.

I went to my campus bookstore this morning assuming they would be out of stock and they were.
I put my name on the waiting list figuring it would be a few weeks before I got a call.
2:00 this afternoon I got the call!!!
I am now the proud owner of a Black 64GB Wi-Fi iPad 2.
Going to my second job now so it will be tomorrow before the grand opening.

Got it Sat the 12th

Dropped in to Best Buy. They were sold out but put me on the reserved list. They called an hour later and said it was in. Love it so far. I am new to iPad but had a lot of apps on my iPod touch to sync. I had a lot of people tell me it was silly to buy a"bigger touch" but I have no regrets. Having the word processor alone made it worth the upgrade to me. I am enjoying having the Kindle app linked to the touch which lives in my pocket

I'm pretty new to Apple products, but the latest 2 that i've picked up (iPhone4 and iPad2), have been pretty impressive to say the least. I lucked out in that a good friend of mine decided to wait the 5 hours in line at his local Apple Store, and offered to pick up my iPad2 for me. What are friends for eh ?? :) I've had mine since release night, and I just can't put the thing down, it's that much fun. Buh-bye laptop.
