I preordered on the morning of the first day at the store and the worker told me it will be at the store 9/21. Then I got an email saying it will take 14-21 business days to ship. I went back to the store to cancel my preorder and they said they can't cancel it and it might arrive on 9/21. I'm very confused because the att website shows an error every time I want to track it. If I call att, will they cancel my preorder? Rather stand in line and get it 2 weeks earlier.
Got a tip for us?

Casemate already has cases out.. I ordered one a couple days ago and it shipped today
Oh well, that makes 2 of us then. On a side note, have they got any nicer down there at Tiger Stadium? I picked up my tickets today for MSU/LSU game in November and Tiger Stadium is the one place that scares me!
Thanks....I'm really rough on my phone - I'm hoping they come out with an Otterbox Defender.....and quick.
At least something shipped!
I'm totally fine with getting my phone on the 21st or getting my phone in 2 weeks - I just want an update. If AT&T would just update us - their phones wouldn't be ringing.....as much.
I am actually in New Orleans not Baton Rouge. The few games i have attended ppl were very nice to everyone, meaning fans of other teams. Unless you are talking Alabama fans, or Florida etc. Certain teams. Lately it has gotten to be one big party before the game, and most fans leave before the game is even over. Unless it is a big game. Haven't been to one in a while though. I am just going by what ppl have said.
I picked up a case and set of screen protectors on Friday from a Verizon Store. So there are cases out there already.
Note: Before anyone asks, I got the case and set of screen protectors from Verizon, because the AT&T store had a line outside of it still and the Verizon store was empty!

Anytime! The one I got should keep your phone safe, but here's a otterbox defender for the 5: http://www.otterbox.com/iPhone-5-De...ault,pd.html?gclid=CJvfp9WTvrICFeUWMgodgwgATw
yea. i just checked your link.
i'm getting one from http://www.elementcase.com. they make high quality CNCd rim protection (if you don't like the apple logo being covered). i got the Vapor COMP for my 4s. it's a good case if you want something high class.yea. i just checked your link.
Now thats a case that will keep your iPhone safe no matter what hahah.. I like the one that I got just because its not to big but should keep my phone safe considering I don't drop it a lot.. But the one your getting is something I should look into so i won't crack my screen
My Pre-Order was received at 10:13am ET on the 14th
I placed my order on the AT&T website the morning of the 14th but I couldn't get the page to confirm so I called in. They took the pre-order over the phone and at 10:13am ET I received an email asking me to accept the 2yr contract agreement. At 2:14pm ET I got the sales confirmation with a tracking link.
The representative taking the order assured me a delivery of 9/21/12... we'll see. So far my tracking link doesn't show that the phone has shipped. I'll be surprised if I get it on time.

HAHAHAHAHAHA ATT = LINE; VERIZON = NO LINE
GO FIGURE! I can only laugh at this point.
Thanks everyone for the responses about the cases. everyone can resume the chatter asking if you're getting your phone on the 21st and reiterating that they've called AT&T and got the same answer as the last 800 people who have called.
AT&T doesn't seem to be on their game tonight. I keep switching to the Verizon thread and see how a few ppl are getting confirmation emails, shipping info from Verizon. While AT&T still hasn't done anything.
yea. i just checked your link.
I LOVE this case ... if only it came in pink or purple. I will seriously consider this case - thank you!
yea. i just checked your link.
$146 for a case
Some people have too much $ for their own good
only problem is they haven't come up with the case for the iPhone 5 yet. i've been waiting for it since last week. but hey it's alright if you won't get the phone on 21.
----------
actually the case are anodized. unless you'll pick the raw aluminum ones. some are even nickel dyed. they have the COMP in pink. and i think the Vapor Pro too has it in pink. but like i said, they're still working on the iPhone 5 case design. hopefully they show it soon.
iPhone 5 Case for the cost of shipping...
I ordered this case for my iPhone 4 and I loved it. I spent only the cost of shipping and it was every bit as nice as my Speck Pixel skin iPhone 4 case... So after I ordered the new "5" iPhone, I checked out to see if they had any cases...
http://www.zoogue.com/free-iphone-5-social-shell-case/
I spent $5.99 for two cases... It is a pre-order, so I'll have to get some kind of film on my phone if it comes in before the case.

the one i got is $120. i had a discount.
but hey it comes with a really hard case (along with the CNCd case). so it's like it comes with a free hard case. a protection for your already protected iPhone. i have the Vapor COMP Stealth (not featured on their website anymore). i got it for $120.Interesting article...I guess we should be hoping to not hear anything from ATT, if we do it will only be to delay shipment...
