For those of you who have decided on the JB color. I know many of you have already picked out cases, but has anyone had any experience with phone skins from (specifically the "naked" option) from slickwraps or best skins ever? I change up cases pretty often and the thought of messing up the JB finish just from trying to keep my phone protected scares me. What cases are you all considering?

I ordered this case from Amazon (green and black one), which arrived two weeks ago. However, the silicone is slightly loose on my iPhone (currently using it on my 6S Plus), which makes me afraid of debris getting underneath and causing micro-abrasions on my JB phone. On the other hand, it does protect from shock damage, as I accidentally dropped my iPhone (which rarely ever happens) on the tile in my kitchen screen first and no harm done.

I have been looking at this case as well (clear and green one), which is also from Amazon. Same price as the other one, but it is primarily clear and doesn't have a cut out where the Apple logo is located on the back. I'd like to be able to see my JB color while protecting it at the same time.

Plus there are the Spigen clear cases that have a kickstand, which was something that I really liked with my old CaseMate case (although the stand snapped off on it), but they are a little pricier than the other two cases that I've mentioned thus far.

I guess I will just wait until my iPhone actually arrives before I make the decision to get another case or not.

Part of the 9/16 in store crew, ordered a MB 7+ 32gb with dates of 10/14-10/21 and a MB 7+ 128gb with dates of 10/21-10/28, hoping to see movement on atleast the 32gb this week

You wont get much sympathy here. Quite a few including myself placed order a week before you and haven't seen a thing :)

It's not that we wouldn't have sympathy, it's just aggravating when you see someone ordering the same exact phone as you after launch day and already got their iPhones before those who stayed up to pre-order on the 9th.

With that said, I really do hope that everyone sees some progress soon, regardless of when you ordered! :)

Who's still waiting on their 7+ (NON jet black models)? What's your order date/time and configuration?
 
As this thread was started as a pre-order thread; is there anyone left who placed their order on 9/9 that is not at least in back order status yet?

Unfortunately yes. Paid off ATT Next iPhone 6s and purchased the 128 JB iPhone 7+ on 9/9 @ 10:30AM EST. Est shipping date of 10/28 - 11/4. *6737# still shows in progress. I've seen some receive back order status for the exact same phone, yet ordered after me, so hopefully I see some movement on my order in the AM...fingers crossed...

IT SHIPPED I CHECKED *6737# AND IT SHIPPED! IP7+, MB, 128GB AND I ORDERED ON THE 13TH, PROCESSED ON THE 14 WITH ORIGINAL SHIP DATES OF OCT.18-25! I WILL STILL STAY ON HERE TO SUPPORT! LOVE MY MACRUMORS FAM! THANK YOU EVERYONE

I would "LOVE" this a million time over if I could!!! You are the main reason I've stuck around after receiving my phone.
 
I personally like the Apple brand cases mostly because they have felt material on the inside. I've never had debris get inside with their cases. The leather one is really nice. It just doesn't protect the very bottom as well, but I don't usually ever drop my phone.

I bought an Apple silicon case yesterday, after using a Spigen Slim Armor for a week. Just wanted to get something different. I like having multiple options :)
 
Still nothing on mine by dialing *6737#... I have been in progress since I pre-ordered through AT&T on 9/9. Waiting on a Jet Black 128GB Plus. I see everyone else is seeing movement so I am hoping for something this week.

EDIT: Found it! Its FALL2016TRADE in case anyone else needs it.

-------------------------------
Those of you that are doing the AT&T trade in for the $650 credit how did you get the promo code to use on the website?

I see one site that says you get a text message with it (which I didn't) but I know I saw the promo code listed online somewhere and it was something like 'FALLTRADE2016'.

Does anyone have that handy?
