I just ordered this one that has little plastic bump things on the inside, hopefully it'll fix my issue with my plastic case sticking to the back and causing an oily effect.

I like that case. I may order that. I think I may take back otterbox. Apple Store has a clear case, I forget the brand , so I may just go trade

You can still check *6737# using the phone number. That will specifically give the status of your phone, right ?

Nope. Just says info is not available. We have decided on here that it was the people that ordered two phones and one has already been delivered and activated.

Called the 866 number this morning and was told by two different CS agents that 'it's in the warehouse waiting to be shipped'. Just tried the 866 number again and got the usual 'it'll ship on 10/14-10/21' line. Who knows.

What case do you have?

For some reason the forum wouldn't let me upload a screenshot of the case, although I have done just that several times in here already!

So here is the link to the case I got: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B019LF8MUY/ref=cm_cr_othr_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8

The clear case that you provided the link to looks just like my Insignia case that I bought for my 6 Plus two years ago before my iPhone arrived the next day.

Except yours looks like it may possibly be thinner than the one I have -- not 100% sure.

I wasn't planning on buying a new case for this iPhone, since I wanted to use my old clear one so it can show off the gloriousness that is the jet back color. Unfortunately, the cut out for the 7 Plus camera would only fit the dual lenses but would end up covering the flash.

Wow nice to hear that update I was thinking about taking it off because I thought it wasn't for the iPhone 7 status or up dates no more ?

JB+256 Ordered on 9/16 4:50pm. ETA Nov 28-Dec5. The 256 is apparently in lower demand so hopefully it helps my chances.
 
Somebody on reddit "Ordered a jet black plus 256 through att online last Thursday. Should be here tomorrow according to usps." This is BS!
 
And my order has shipped! Via USPS though. Wonder how long it's gonna take to arrive. I was hoping for a Fedex or UPS overnight like some of you had..

I've been lurking and following this thread, but would happy to report that my order went to backorder this morning when I checked via *6737#. Currently still showing as "in process"online. I ordered a 7+ 128 mb over the phone on 9/16 around 6pm

I guess I am just now realizing the difference in pixel quality from the 6S Plus to the 7 Plus. For example, my SwiftKey keyboard background is of the night sky with animated shooting stars. On my 6S Plus, the background looked more purple, but on here it appears to be more of a midnight blue with some minor purple tones.

Also, now that I have put the case I ordered from Amazon on my 7 Plus, I have decided that I don't really love it on this iPhone. Don't get me wrong, I like the case itself, but it covers most of the back of the phone and I would like to show off that I have the jet black model!

Makes no sense for me to return it due to the case costing less than $8.00 (+$11.00 in tax and shipping).

I think I may order a clear case with green buttons that is also from Amazon and around the same price. I also posted an image of another case that I kind of like, which is also clear.

Plus, while the cut out on the case I'm using now does fit the dual lenses and such, the bottom part of the lenses is touching the bottom part of the cut out. I made sure that it didn't interfere with the camera at all, but something as minor as that kind of bugs me.

Furthermore, the cut out where the mute/ringer switch on the side is deeper than I anticipated. Meaning that I can't just simply flick the switch, but have to kind of dig my finger in there to reach it. (I really hope that I am making sense or describing this accurately! :p)

When I pre-ordered my iPhone 7 Plus, I figured that I would just order the 128GB since I thought that would be more than enough space (there were times when I had to delete apps or videos to free up space for my 6S Plus).

This may sound weird, but ever since I literally downloaded approximately 50GB of episodes and movies from iCloud, I now have a little over 40GB remaining and feel like I could fill that up pretty quickly. It's funny because when I had the same amount on my 64GB 6S Plus, I thought that was an enormous amount of space! Haha!

Lastly, I tried checking to see if I could hear any sort of hissing noise when I recorded a video.

UPDATE: I had to find a video on YouTube to actually hear what this "hiss" sounds like. Based on what they heard, I can safely say that my iPhone does not have a hissing problem. I think when I said earlier that I recorded a short video in my house and everything was quiet, I believe what I may have heard then was simply some almost inaudible white noise.
The clear one is the one I posted for u, I have it and I like the look of it.. Unicorn bettle is the name
