My case arrived for my parents touchpad. That was very fast.

Got my case and Touchstone, now just waiting for the Touchpad which has an ETA of the 14th from my order confirmation.

Does anyone know how long I have to return the case and Touchstone if HP are unable to ship me the Touchpad?
 
Talking of cases, has anyone seen a sleeve that can contain the HP Touchpad with the official case on? I'm just thinking that if I put the Touchpad in a backpack then it might get damaged even with the official case on. A netbook sleeve might be suitable perhaps.

I received a similar email last night for my 32GB model order, but don't think that it will have been despatched yet... especially as today is a Saturday!

They do say that they will send us another email once our orders are despatched, which I would hope to receive either on Monday, or Tuesday at the latest.

I will report back on here when (or should that be 'if') if I do!

You can still return stuff under dsr if you open it, think there are some exceptions like software cd's but the majority of items you are allowed to open/use to inspect the goods.

"Can I insist that consumers who cancel an order within the
cancellation period return the goods as new or in their
original packaging?"

"3.58 No. Consumers are under a duty to take reasonable care of the goods
while in their possession as discussed in paragraph 3.44. The DSRs
allow consumers to examine goods they have ordered as they would
in a shop. If that requires opening the packaging and trying out the
goods then they have not breached their duty to take reasonable
care of the goods. In these circumstances you cannot insist that
consumers return the goods as new or in their original packaging.
You may ask consumers to return goods with the original packaging,
but you cannot insist on this. In the case of goods such as earrings
that have hygiene seals, you may require consumers to exercise
reasonable care by not removing the seals when examining them."

Also if you are in dispute for as long as emails etc are passing back and forth then the 7 day limit is ignored.

ie if it takes more than 7 days and still not sorted you can still return goods.
 
Think there will be a 3G model released?
Don't think they ever got that far. A few 64Gb models got made but there was meant to be a 3g and 4g model in the next couple of months. Can;t see them coming out now.

Also there was meant to be a usb mirco hdmi out gizmo which we might never see (wish we did)
