iPad 3 Release Date

Aren’t you glad you didn’t get rid of your iPad 2 cases and covers just yet? A multitude of rumors are sweeping the web, especially since the announcement of an Apple “event” on March 7 in San Francisco. The event will take place at the Yerba Buena Center for the arts at 10 am PST—who wants to bet there will be fans lined up outside the event and at Apple stores everywhere just in case?

The invitations and announcement of this event has rightfully led many fans of the device to assume that it’s the big launch date, so they’re starting to save their money for the best iPad accessories and are thinking about what they’ll do with their original and iPad 2 models.
It’s still not time to run out and buy your leather iPad cases and covers for the new models. Despite the possibility that this is the date they will announce the launch, other rumors point to a delay of 1-2 weeks for actual availability. While it may be very likely, this “event” may just be to announce the finalized features of the new upgraded device. Whether or not the actual release date is March 7, the reality is that retailers’ stock may be insufficient to demand—think back to the release of the iPad 2. People were buying their iPad2 cases and covers before they had their device. Apple was unable to meet demand for several weeks, with some delays for online orders lasting up to a month.

Hopefully, that will not be the case this time. While users budget for the best iPad cases and other related expenditures, they may want to hang on tonight to their current devices and keep them protected in case of a longer wait.

In the meantime, here at Poetic, we’ll continue to devise cool leather iPad cases and covers and durable shells for the new iPad 3 as well as iPad accessories. We’ll make sure they’re just as sturdy and stylish as all the rest of our iPad cases, and will strive to have plenty in stock in time for the new release.
