yep, same for me. I guess living in SoCal helps.
Or not.
Destination: San Diego
Date Shipped: Saturday October 22, 2011
That is a Lucky Labs curly maple Teksure back skin. Perfect fit And goes very smoothly with the white.
Mine now shows on USPS as expected on Thursday...pretty standard considering I'm on the east coast and they're on the west coast. Hope it's worth the wait!
Any of you folks who already got 'em able to post some pics? I know there's pictures around and about, but real life pictures are always good to see as compared to manufacturer pics

It's here!....
Just arived!.....Ordered my Black with chrome latch on the 9th ...16 days!....Not bad....You'll not hear any negitive comments from me....Looks geat feels even better in my hand...Love the texture...anti slip but not so much to make it difficult to remove from my pocket...I don't see how the latch could possably scratch my iphone.....It plays nice with the PS screen protector, also. I had concerns about my Griffin cord fitting the bottom connector because it's a little larger than the Apple version, but no problem there, either!...Great Case! ..
Very pleased!......

Dock Fitting
To those that have this case, how does it fit in docks with the case on? Is there any need for a dock extender?

Got my case last night...black/matte. Fits great, very slim case for what it is. Even my girlfriend liked it and she thinks spending $60 on a case is ridiculous (it kind of is) lol.
Best case I've owned for an iPhone. I really like the texture...it has enough grip but not too much. The extended sleep/hold button is great (too many other cases make the sleep/hold button hard to press). I can't comment on docking as I don't own an apple dock (what's the point?), but I have docked it with several aftermarket accessories just fine.
All in all...very happy.
Edit: I don't have any other case/film/protector/skin on my iPhone 4S with the Graft Leverage Case. I just don't see the need. For those that are wrinkling screen protectors...well DUH. Any case has the potential to do that. Already dropped the phone once...no signs of scratches.

It won't fit in the iPhone 4 dock but I have the universal dock and removed the insert and it fits fine.
Add me to the list of those loving the case.
Well, the point of an apple dock I think is to charge your phone and hold it at an angle which can be seen from while sitting at a desk. ?? That's just me. I don't own one either.
Thanks on the info re fit on aftermarket accessories. I am specifically hoping it will fit on my XM SkyDock and an external speaker dock without having to remove my case. My phone fits on the external speaker dock with the bumper on, so I'm not too worried about that. My XM Skydock does not fit the iPhone w/ bumper...so I'm hoping it's a bit thinner than an Apple bumper. Can anyone confirm?
THanks.
Pretty sure it's not. I had an Apple Bumper on my AT&T iPhone 4 a long time a go and I remember the bumper being thicker.
This is the slimmest case I've had on my phone (with the exception of the lever). I would bet money it's slimmer than the Apple Bumper.
I like mine too. really nice grip. well made. I only use the bumper,
putting this on was very easy. thanks guys

my white/matte came in yesterday and I like it! the latch went on smoothly w/o any scratches on my white 4S. I do believe that some peeps' phones could get scratched if they don't use some common sense when they install their's.
that being that, I think some people might be in trouble (in regards to the common sense part).

Screen protectors
I've had mine on for about two days now, and I do like this case quite a bit. I do have a couple comments that might help someone decide about this case.
My front screen protector is a crystal power support, which i took great pains to put on perfectly centered. When I got it perfectly centered, the case is NOT lifting the edges up.
My back screen protector is a phantomskinz. And it too isn't lifting, but mine is on slightly crooked. So here's the thing - the back edge of the case is so very slightly lifted off the back of the glass. It's so hardly noticeable that I almost can't see the gap. I'd say the gap is thinner than a sheet of paper. Obviously this is for the back insert, but I guess in my case since I'm not using the insert, it allows my slightly crooked back screen protector to slide under the edge.
And finally, the back of the phone and how the edge is treated is different from the front. I didn't expect this. The front of the phone seems to overlap the glass slightly more than the back. I think the best way to describe it is that the front edge of the case has a bevel that dies into the glass. While the back is edge is missing the bevel. Both sides provide lay-on-the-table protection, but the front is slightly thicker. This surprised me too because I thought that due to the back insert, the back edge would project more. In fact it's the opposite.
Lotta detail, too much for most of you, but for those of you who are detail oriented, I hope this helps.

Just got my case in... All I can say is WOW.....
I like it more than my Black Ops case, just love the back cover. This is a very well made case.
