Just wanted to mention that I just received my shipping notice from elementcases.
I chose priority mail and since I live on the east coast that means 3 days.
If nothing else they picked me to give them 3 more days.
My order was #26xx and bought and paid for on July 1st.
Hopefully this is a good sign for all!

Keep the faith!

Finally!!! Hey Dave would you mind posting the shipping notice sans your personal details for us. I'm 34xx so I hope mine isn't far off.
 
We have been told that the owner/CEO is following this thread, why is it so difficult to post an update or response? Being completely honest, to follow this thread, allegedly, and not respond is basically giving the ole "f you" to customers.
 
How many companies go out there and tell the consumers there are issues? Did Toyota admit the problem of the stuck gas pedals until the NHTSA got involved and did an investigation? Did Apple come out and tell everyone that there are antenna/proximity sensor problems right away? Did Apple tell everyone the white Iphone will be delayed before everyone started ordering them? Thats the way it works. Sometimes its better to keep quiet rather than have people have a run on canceling orders.

- Element Case is not Toyota or Apple. It's a small company offering a limited range of products "in limited quantities".

- White iPhone is not available for purchase. No (pre)orders have been taken. It was announced that it'd have an initial delay, then another delay and now an even longer delay. No credit cards has been charged for it as far as we know.

- Element Case has been more than just "quiet" about things. They blatantly lied on numerous occasions and pulled at least one childish stunt to spread even more misinformation (hand model troll). Out of the three option of zipping it (as Abraham Lincoln suggests), being transparent (like many other case manufacturers out there, e.g. Grove) or spreading lies, they've gone for the latter. Why? Nobody knows.

- Your previous comments about social networking websites being for teenagers only is an invalid argument and I'm not even going to bother explaining to you why that is.

- Your perception of business/social networking relationship is unbelievably out of date. It's almost as if you've been offline for the past five years or so. Even brick and mortar businesses are involved nowadays. A purly online business that already has its own social networking channels should have no excuse. Either dump it or update it.

Honestly, however you look at this drama, and even considering all the facebook and personal phone harassments from a very few here, Element Case people have been unprofessional in every step of the way. Defending them isn't going to wipe off any of the deliberate lies.

Im keeping the faith, but I do have to point out your a newly registered fellow with only 5 posts, all in this thread, and every time you have either defended Element or disseminated information from an email you received from Element. A tracking number would put this speculation to rest rather quickly.

Thanks man. I'm sure your post will ease all of our frustrations a little. I look forward to seeing the pics when you get it.

I know I'm new here so take it for what it's worth.
I didn't get any tracking numbers and being 3 days away I'll have to
wait as well to see it....hopefully some west coast people will see it tomorrow.
P.S. don't remember ever defending them....just haven't piled on them either.
If I don't receive my case in 3 days then I'll start.

Can't believe I'm first and only to post this!

I would assume that you would be able to log in now and check the status of your order (click the "Click here to view the status of your order" link at the bottom of that email), and hopefully get a tracking number. Although your "shipping" email looks identical to my order email. The only thing that's any different is where your states "The status of order #xxxx is now shipped", mine states "awaiting fulfillment" in place of "shipped".

Yeah, do that and take a screenshot. Pretty please?
 
Pics of email??? Just pasting text doesn't help prove anything obviously because you could have easily typed it up yourself.

and i think we all forgot about this picture.

and there is still the mystery of why he is clutching that thing with a kung fu grip, as you can see the white skin regions in his index finger and thumb

My first post here. I've been following the thread for a little bit. I've never had a data phone before and my very first, the iphone4, shipped today. So yeah, I'm really excited about it. I'm also excited about the vapor case, but I'm not going to buy it until I read all the reviews I can find. That's just the way I am.

BUT my question for this post is about the pic from above. Is it not possible that he's trying to imitate the "Death grip" that causes the iphone to lose bars?

That was just my first thought when I saw the pic. Of course the guy is clearly shady, of course he should have posted more pics, etc etc. I'm just wondering if the reason he's gripping it so hard is because of the re-creation of the death grip.

Now, before I get flamed right off this forum (because frankly some of you people are really rude on here :eek:), keep in mind I've NO experience with a data phone, and that means even less with the iphone4 and its reception problems.
 
Now that is outstanding news!!!!!!!!

But I knew it -- this means mine won't be shipped until tomorrow at the earliest which will be too late as I am leaving for vacation on Saturday morning!!!!

Rats!!!

But congrats to you and thank you for posting!!!!

My guess is that orders in the 2xxx slug are the beginning of Group 2. My order, placed on July 4, is in the 44xx range so while I am still in group 2 I expect I will have to wait a bit longer.

But I'm ok with that -- they never told me, including on the website when I placed my initial order, that I would receive anything before this week. I'm ok with that. Bored with waiting, but ok.
 
because frankly some of you people are really rude on here ),

No we are not. On your bike!!!!!!!!! Jog on, caveman!
haha just messing with you :D. I thought that maybe the case wasn't finished so the guy was holding it that way to hide design flaws or keep it together because it wasn't completed, just a few parts being held together.
 
Just got the same email and checked my status online, it also says shipped. But I paid for flat rate shipping and there is no tracking number.
 
Now that the highly entertaining yet somewhat offensive threads about the eBay rip-off "foil" skin has finally been deleted - I return here to find that cases are indeed shipping! YAY! :)
