ditto. I also noticed the difference in shipping times but- what's a few days? As with any new gadget, I am extremely careful the first few weeks I have it so I'm not too worried if my bumper does not show up with my phone.
My 3g still looks pretty damn good after all this time- especially for not having a case on it for the past year. It has a couple scratches but nothing bad at all. This new iPhone is supposed to be a tank so we'll see what happens. I'm sure we will get a lot of stories about people finding new and exciting ways to shatter their screens.
