Does anyone know how long it takes dBrand to ship a skin on a new product? I pre-ordered one for the new M1 12.9” iPad and trying to figure out how I’m going to protect it while waiting on dBrand.

Here’s the official non-answer (sounds like around the end of the month).

Thanks for reaching out. As mentioned on the product page and during checkout, all iPad Pro 12.9" (2021, Gen 5) orders are expected to ship out in May. We're currently on track to have your order shipped out by the end of the month.

Once your order has shipped out, you will receive a confirmation email with tracking information. From that point, you can expect to receive your order within 3-8 business days. Thank you for your continued patience, and let us know if there's anything else we can help with. Have a great day!

Signed,
A Robot

I already received dbrand skins for the 2020 iPP and magic keyboard to use on the new ones released tomorrow. The dimensions are similar and I doubt the old skins won’t fit the new products.

Just got notified by dBrand that it's going to ship, though I had the USPS informed delivery notify me 2 days ago that a label had printed. So some progress.

This is my order page - Now I ordered just a back skin and so I guess this is why my order has shipped. Ordered for an iPad 12.9 2021 ( 5th Gen ) back skin. View attachment 1781881
Ah probably explains that.

The back of the ipad skin (To my knowledge) is the same as the 2020 ipad. Sides are different because of extra thicccnes that 2021 has. With my OCD i wanted to cover every angle possible, lol.

? Thanks for replying.

I have the 2020 skin on the 2021 iPad Pro 12.9.
The thickness is fine but the speaker cut outs in the pieces for the edges don’t match.
I had to manually cut out the centre of the holes so they won’t block the speakers.

FedEx have lost my order. it was due to be delivered on 26th May ( I’m in the UK ). Tracking site showed it was down for delivery by 12pm. Nothing arrived, now they are saying it didn’t leave the US and are currently trying to locate it ??

That’s a bummer! Mine came from Canada and arrived within a week.

Oh shiiit, contact Dbrand if they don't find it this week, they probably will send you new one for free.
