Maybe next week people will have week 40. Got one earlier this week from Apple and it was week 39, the store employee said they just received it before I bought.

Mine has no scuffs, black.

Mine arrived today (week 40) and went to pick it up at a Verizon store. It's flawless. No issues to report. Verizon 13.1 already updated right out of the box. :)

Ive just made an exchange request for a white.

The black is week 39, condition wise it was ok, a couple of incy wincy chips...but you have to be looking really close in certain light to notice, however thats not the reason why I am returning the black. Its simply because i now want to switch it up with a white model, the black just didn't feel different enough to when I owned my black iPhone 4.

Are you guys checking these in the store somehow or just placing your bets, getting the phone, and then checking when you get home?

My black week 39 16gb had one spot at the back but the headphone port was slanted.

I thought the black coating on the chamfered edge would hold up well after two drops, but on the third drop, I had some scuffing. I don't really care about it though

I'm expecting a white replacement this week because they suggested one lol

I have a week 36, got it on launch day and there wasn't a single scuff or chip. Kept it in a case with a screen protector since then too, to make sure that it doesn't get any.

I have a week 40 32GB black that I picked up yesterday at the Apple Store. It's flawless in my eyes, but for some OCD people, they would notice a small dot of white by the earphone jack, but who cares?

Picked up a week 40 32 GB verizon model at my local apple store today. Completely flawless, though i'll probably have it all scratched up soon since i have no case.
