Do most of you guys use a case? I've always used them naked:cool:

I wanted to just do a skin, but I'm chicken about the camera bump. I'll see when it gets here. I may return the cases I bought.
 
Plane phone buddies! Departed from Louisville, most likely on the same flight to Oakland. Looks like I was wrong with the Sacramento flight. This takes it to Oakland, which is just 30 minutes away from me. Awesome!

I thought I'd use a case with the 6, used it for about 2 days and then decided I liked it more naked. It just feels better in the hand and they are just so thin!! I did shatter my screen, but that's because I missed my pocket once and it fell face down on the concrete, so a case wouldn't have done anything. My camera lens has no scratches and my bump doesn't have any marks, so if you're just worried about the camera bump, just try without a case and see how you like it

Being on the Att Next 12 plan I use a case to insure it passes the trade-in inspection a year from now.

I went with TwelveSouth's BookBook for my iPhone 4S, and have been happy with it, and BodyGuardz on the front. Definitely going BookBook again for the 6s, as it takes care of a wallet for me as well as a case. That way I don't have to have 3 things in my pocket: wallet, phone, keys. Drops me down to 2.

I know I'm probably the only one who wants to do this because I've been reading this whole thread, but does Apple not let you change the delivery date through UPS My Choice? I tried to change it but it didn't update with requested date like what it did with a previous package. Also, I know I have the option to pre-sign but I don't want to leave it out on the doorstep because I don't trust any of my neighbors since I just moved in.
 
Interesting.. there is a trailing flight that hasn't made it into PANC yet.

Originated in Hong Kong. This will be making it to Anchorage in another mile... but then heads straight to Ontario, which will get in at roughly 10:45pm PDT tonight. I would say that this would be the last flight for phones with scheduled delivery for tomorrow.

whats the latest on your phone? ours just landed in OAK!
 
I like how it arrived in Nashville and magically departed from Louisville. Oh well, don't care. It's in my town so I'm good.

Not exactly sure I'm interpreting this right, but my iPhone 6s Plus according to UPS tracking left Kentucky/departed at 5:21 PM Eastern.

My iPhone has to get to Hawaii by tomorrow, so the only realistic flights it could take is the one to Ontario, CA (UPS2916, departure at 04:58 PM Eastern, landing at 05:33 PM Pacific) or the one to Los Angeles, CA (UPS2890, departure at 04:33 PM Eastern, landing at 05:22 PM Pacific).

If my Departure Scan is at 05:21 PM EST but the planes left before that, there's no way those flights could have my iPhone, right? Or is a late departure scan possible?
 
My phone made it to DFW this afternoon for a 3:42 PM arrival scan. I expect it to get on a truck for an overnight trip to Lubbock

Would you believe it if I said I'm here for the hell of it? :D

I reserved mine at the Apple Store at Arden Fair Mall in Sacramento. taking the Apple Update Program route. I'm a student pilot and aviation buff, so the logistics of the flights are fascinating to me.

I believe some scans have been later than the flights' departure times, as reported by other people earlier in this thread. It could be a system delay or some such. I wouldn't worry too much--if you're still showing expected delivery by EOD 09/25, you'll get it tomorrow. :)

Thank you so much! I was hunting for some info like that through this whole thread, but you made it easier! :)
