With regard to cases, I'm going to try putting a Slickwrap on mine. It solves the issue of dust between the case and the phone causing scratches.
Got a tip for us?

7+ Jet Black (128/256) Date Change Thread

Absolutely none, apart from circumstantial evidence and/or speculation. Clearly there must be a reason why every other colour had readily available stock, except ours.
EDIT: Grammar
Get your point fully but out of pur curiosity I want to know why our JB plusses are presumably not even manufactured. I'm not mad just really want to find out why. If the reason was for the additional manufacturing time taken to complete the finish then I would say that's a really good excuse. Not seen the finish in real life yet but from what I have heard it will be worth the wait.
I ordered a Jet Black 256gb Sprint at 3:05 am and ended up with the couldn't contact sprint but we reserved a phone that will be delivered by September 26 message. Eventually completed the reserved order but now it said September 26-October 3 estimated delivery. Like many on here I'm impatient so I've been scouring message boards for a hope of a moved up delivery date.
Here is where things get off - I tried the UPS track by reference using my order number minus the last two digits like people have said. An order comes up that looks like an iPhone and says delivery for September 16 but it says the destination is Glendale, CA and I live in Washington, DC. Can't make any sense of what's going on with that and my order from Apple has not showed any change in status.

No the deadline was what you saw when you checked out/confirmation email. To answer you question, it's like walking in to Pizza Hut with the menu posted on the door that says Meat Lovers available 9/26 but you took a table expecting to order it anyway because it was the first day.
Maybe they recalled them all do to the scratching, and are applying a new anti-scratch layer?
Not.
[doublepost=1473958681][/doublepost]Or maybe the plus size jet blacks were using the same batteries as the note 7.
Just the jet blacks though, of course.
added a screen shot of my UPS tracking by reference of my order number minus the last two digits to my post above - this is an emotional roller coaster - I'm guessing that is an iPhone but somehow not my shipment

When I checked out it said to be delivered Sept 16. When I got my confirmation email at 12:05 PT it said the 26th.
Yeah, not necessarily saying Apple did anything "wrong". I'm more speaking from a customer service angle, where it would be good to keep us in the loop.
'Dem's da breaks'. Frustrating, but that's why the confirmation email is the final word...

Have your tried your billing phone number as reference also, pull up the same tracking?
Sorry if I missed this - your order is for a 7 + Jet Black from the online Apple store and you ate in the US?
Great news if things are moving. Hopefully Uk orders will begin moving out of Processing.
The 7's are smaller so they take a magnet shower instead of a magnet bath so they get them out quicker
In fairness, none of our orders actually stated Delivery for Sept 16th (earliest is what, Sept 22nd at best?) so nothing is out of line yet.
Obviously you may have wanted it sooner (some years people get it sooner, but it's not a guarantee), and I'm sure Apple themselves can't wait to charge everyone's credit cards, but look at your confirmation email.
Look at the shipping dates.
Look at today's date.
Patience.

So the people that got their order change by a representative from 9/26-10/3 to 9/17-9/24. Let's hear an update, still no movement yet ? I'm curious if we are going to see movement until tomorrow since we have next day shipping. I still have little hope to get my phone Saturday at least lol.
I find it extremely ironic how all of the promotional material on Apple's site shows Jet Black & "Available September 16". Just for honesty's sake, they should change it to matte black!
No, sorry
I'm in Canada, the order went to preparing for shipment yesterday after I cleared it with my bank.
Well. Apple has officially sold out of all 7 Plus and Jet black models. None of them will be available at any Apple Store on launch day.
I've got 7 128 GB and a friend got 7+ 256 GB Jet Black with pickup in store for tomorrow at a german third party seller.
On their website the product went from available on 16th to available soon, my pickup is still on 16th.
Not sure if their claims are true, but I will definitely try to pick them up tomorrow.
That's what I am thinking. Wondering if anyone who got their shipping expedited got tracking number.
