Graft leverage case - I want I want I want... (Update: I got).

well, ***** happens.
But if by end of next week still no shipping confirmation, then I will cancel it.
They seem new to business. Open communication with their customers would go a long way. They should have been updating by email all orders.
I hope they learn a lesson if they want to be successful long term.

Farbeit for me to give anyone **** but, they really HAVE been communicated openly with their customers...as it says right on their website: free shipping within the United States. ships: 2-4 weeks

We've all emailed them and asked for a shipping timeframe, even though the website already says that, and if they made ANY mistake it was saying that they expected them to go out this week - now since they've been delayed they get to hear complaining, whereas had they just said "as it says on the website, 2 - 4 weeks" they would have been fine: hell if it DID ship this week they would have been HEROES for shipping their stuff out 3 1-3 weeks ahead of schedule.

When I placed my order it did not say the time frame, only after my CC was processed it showed 3 to 6 weeks. It was unacceptable, then I emailed them and they said by this week, the 18th was their target data to ship, so I kept my order.
Since then we have not heard anything and I have emailed them.
I am not the only one complaining here so it's a widespread case of lack of communication.
The only place I see some sort of heads up it's Facebook. Just saying they could do much better than that. I love the case and I hope they can keep creating nice products but they need to address their customers as well.
 
Crossing my fingers for a delivery date early next week!
It's the weekend! Grab a beer and cheers!

First lesson of business: Under promise and over deliver
 
Thought I'd post these pics for anyone interested. This is my black iPhone 4 with a white band Graft Concepts with matte lever and both white and black backplates. My favorite combo is the black backplate with the white band.

I would really like to know from someone who has been using this case for some time now if it scratches the metal band around the iPhone. I just hate using a case for protection that causes as much harm as not using one.

I can't find any reviews from users after using for a while.
 
Can't wait to get mine. Got the black matte to go with my SGP leather back. Should look sweet.

Considering they only started selling this to the public for a little over a month... yeah you're not going to find long-term use reviews.

Ordered white/matt on October 12th and I emailed them to query shipping times. Received email today saying:

"We are expecting our next batch to be shipped sometime next week."

Nice, that came sooner than I thought it would.

I still really like my Skech Matte Case though. Covers everything, very thin and slim, little bezel, and felt lining. Will be nice to switch up though.

I've only had it on for a day, but with the snug fit, I don't really foresee any issues with that. Also, the metal of the lever never comes into contact with the phone's metal band/antenna, so I don't expect any scratching from that either. All in all it's an amazing case.

If you mind me asking how long did it took to deliver?

I received mine from a fellow reviewer (it's a review sample), so it's not indicative of Graft Concept's shipping time. So that info won't pertain to the retail customers waiting on delivery at this point.

I was wondering....Not sure if anybody received one yet after Apple announced the 4S. I placed my order in the following day.

Nope. I ordered mine around the same time frame. We're in the same mass shipment package from China it would seem.
 
I want to order the white, but I'm afraid at it turning all dirty after a while (I put a white case on my 3GS a while back and after a year it started looking really gross). Does anyone else have this concern?
