Hi,

Since there's no where near me to buy one, where's the best place to order an iPad Pro from?

it's an expensive device so I'm looking for a hassle free return in case it shows up DOA or has pixel issues or something. While unlikely, I've had it happen so….

PB tech has some in stock they could ship, or I could buy from Apple or I presume Harvey Norman could get some shipped to their store which is the only one in drivable distance.

Any recommendations, wise ones?

Also any thoughts on best drop proof case welcome. Was thinking UAG or similar. Must be able to hold up the iPad for lap/table use.

Thanks.

I find Apple has top notch service and delivery, and whilst I have never returned anything to them, I suspect that they would be great at that too. Given no-one usually has Apple devices at much or any discount, I'd buy directly from Apple

Direct from Apple. Bought my wife's iPhone this way and was really happy with the service. Hopefully we won't have to use the return service but experience of others tells me it is top notch through Apple if you need it.

Ive found "ZAGG" brand cases are the best hands down...

For any Apple product, buy directly from Apple (unless you get a much better deal elsewhere).

It's a smooth experience, and you'll get some extra benefits such as a 14 day no questions asked return window.

They already have the device info, so any warranty claims are easy to setup.

I recently purchased a new phone for mum via the Apple store, and they offer to set up a free 30 minute appointment with a customer service rep to go over the basics of how to use the device. This is awesome for those folk (especially of the older generation) that may have never touched an iOS device before and need a helping hand in order to understand how things work.

Thanks for the recommendation. Went with a otterbox symmetry 360 from Apple in the end. It's kind of similar to my old case but a nicer way of handling the pencil slot. I don't have a pencil and on this case the slot slides back into the case out of the way.
