Official Sport Case - Where Can I Get One, QUICK?

[boltjames]

I'm off to a week on a beach in Jamaica and need a Sport Case.

Called Apple, and even though they're shipping them they can't guarantee that I'll have it by Friday.

Does anyone know where I can get one immediately? Any stores? Any websites? Anyone have one that wants to sell it and make a quick buck?

Help.

The Sport Case? Which store?

No stores have them. Online shipping is out 5-7 weeks. The four stores in my area only had chargers of all the accessories and can't give any ETA that isn't a total WAG.

I've called about a dozen Apple stores and no one's seen a single Sport Case yet.

As for that lead at Target, that's rubbish. Wasted my lunch hour today to see a huge Belkin fixture.

What about the silicone one's on eBay? Though, even if you won one early this morning, it's doubtful you could get it by Friday.

I'm going to Jamaica in June so I have awhile before I need to think about a sand/water resistant case for the beach.

I bought one of the silicone ones on eBay, but I like the lanyard option (especially when strolling on the beach) and the silicone's don't allow lanyard use.

My sport case shipped today. I ordered it last Thursday. Looks like they finally may be catching up on these things.

I ordered two days ago, my ETA is 4/5/05.

Sounds real close to my ETA as well but it shipped in less than a week.

[fangfoo]

Well that would be a very pleasant surprise then. =)

Strangely enough, tho, my case shipped out of Pennsylvania, which isnt really what I was expecting. I thought for sure it would ship out of California.

I ordered mine five days ago and my ETA was the same. It came yesterday in the mail.

Mine now says 4/13 (checked just now) and no emai has been received indicating it will be shipping anytime soon.

My armband says on or before 4/13 and I ordered it on 2/23 what do you guys think the chances are of getting it in March?

ordered mine yesterday from sparco.com and i got an ETA of march 7. I'll keep you posted.

I ordered two this morning from the Apple website and they gave me a delivery date of April 10. When I got home, I received a shipping confirmation with a delivery date of this Wednesday. Maybe the extra $10 for two day shipping made the difference.:D

What the heck? I ordered my Sportcase the day the Shuffle came out and mine still says it won't ship until March 11th. I'm leaving for Barbados on Thursday and was praying it would come. Thanks for nothin Apple!

[fangfoo]

Mine came today, earlier than expected but not as quick as a few lucky folks. =)

-btw- on the armband case I never noticed the black velcro strips that are on it. They should make white velcro. I'm going to try dying or painting the velcro white on the strips that are exposed when I wear it.

I purchased mine today at CompUSA. They had about 10 of them and some docks. Circuit City also had docks. No armbands though.

They are at the applestore too now. Both docks and sport cases. once again no armbands.

circuit city had a bunch available online for in-store pick-up. ordered last night and picked it up this morning.
