I pre-ordered mine because I remembered watching MC Hammer show one to Oprah.

It seems very awkward to use as a case, no protection for the back of the ipad or the case unless you buy additional skins for them. But I love the finish on both and would be highly reluctant to cover them with anything.
Taking the iPad out of the case requires a bit of pressure, something you have to really work at to do, unlike a case that just flips open. Also, if you just want to look something up real quick you have an issue of how to hold the ipad and the case together since they aren't attached in any way.
Just a few ramblings on it so far. Looks like it will be very nice to have on business trips when I want to leave the laptop home, but I'd love to find a case that houses both.
Mickey330, thanks for the reveiw.
I'm also thinking to get one for my new ipad....
From the video, I still need invisibleshield for full body protection, right?
Also, I won't use much keyboard. Is it worth to have the case alone?
Yes, if you want your screen protected while you are using it, or while it's out of the case, you'll want the invisibleshield for the glass. I don't like them, myself, but I should imagine it'll fit and be just fine.
I honestly don't know about the case without the keyboard. I mean, it is an aluminum cover for the front of your iPad, so that's good. I just never considered it as I was immediately wanting the case with the keyboard. I'm sorry I can't be more help...

I also got a sleeve for mine. A neoprene one from Amazon for $4 but I'm also seeing stuff for ipad1 coming way down in price.I got mine yesterday.

I agree completely about the CAPS LOCK key. The only time I ever use it is when I'm shouting at someone and then I wish I hadn't hit the send key. Would be very handy to be able to lock out the caps lock in firmware.ZAGG said:It goes into sleep automatically after a few minutes of inactivity. I rarely turn mine off with the switch.

Duh! I remember reading that before but it completely slipped my mind.
Any keyboard mapping to disable caps lock? Not too big a deal to me but I've never figured out why a key that I wouldn't use more than once a day got such a useful place on modern keyboards.
For those still on the fence, it's hard to believe just how light this keyboard/case is. It weighs substantially less than my Bluetooth mouse, pretty close to the same as my corded mouse + cord based just upon feel.
