I preordered Sept 17th, My 7+ 128gb MB shipped last night!!!!!! WOOHOOO!
What's your delivery date? I ordered the same phone on 9/16 and it's set for delivery on 10/11 via USPS
Finally. I received an email last night at 2:47 AM saying my phone has shipped on 10/8. Expected delivery date is Monday 10/10.
I'm jealous of you guys. Still haven't seen any movement. Same phone, same order time.
Ordered two iPhone 7+ 128gb in matte black on sep 18th at AT&T store. Received my shipping notice yesterday on both of them.
Original dare was Oct 21-28 so coming earlier than estimated.

So my clear case arrived this morning (see previous page for a picture) and my initial impressions are... Meh. It's a lot thinner than the case I was using, has good grip on the sides, and is almost too easy to put on (unlike my other case which I have to almost literally break apart just to remove it).
The new case does show a small air bubble at the top of the phone, which is nothing to be concerned about. However, before I even put the case on my iPhone 7 Plus 128GB jet black, there were tons of fingerprint smudges on the back and it appears as if I scratched it somehow.
So would I recommend it? Surprisingly, yes. If you are looking for an inexpensive clear case to show off the color of your new iPhone and have some grip and protection to it, then this case will work for you. However, if you're neurotic like me and like things to be damn near pristine, I would maybe recommend something else.

The bubbles/oily appearance with the plastic against the glossy finish annoys me. I have this one coming Monday, it's supposed to change that https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01JQKOYUG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I looked at that case too. It's basically the same as mine except for mine has ribbed sides. Luckily, there are no air bubbles on the back of the case, just a tiny one on the top and on the bottom.
I really like how thin this case is; it makes my other case feel like a brick. However, I hate that it makes my iPhone look dingy when it's actually not.
I am still considering maybe getting the jet black Skyfall case from Caseology, which goes back in stock on Monday, but I was reading the reviews and saw a picture of a giant air bubble forming on the back of the case with the jet black phone. Plus people have complained that the protective backing that you have to peel off before installing the case is difficult to remove. Lastly, it's a two piece case like my other one, which I am usually not the biggest fan of.
I am going to give this case a few days before deciding if I want to get a different one. And just like my first case for this phone, it is pointless to return since the case itself cost less than the shipping.
I understand the concept that "you get what you pay for," but some of my favorite iPhone cases have been the inexpensive ones over my expensive (and bulky) battery cases or cases that provide extreme protection.

Are you referring to how it can look like an oily rainbow of sorts after a while? If so, I've never had that happen with any of my clear cases.
The soft plastic sticks to the glossy finish and leaves a weird imprint on the case. I wish I could take a picture but my only camera is on my phone
It might be because I always have mine in my pocket and my booty makes it warm?[doublepost=1475961169][/doublepost]
A lot of us have gotten them already.

I understand what you mean. Instead of an air bubble, the TPU sticks to the glossy finish of the jet black. That is one of my main concerns based on the review I saw for the Caseology Skyfall case that I really like.
However, this case is very similar to my old clear case that I used for my 6 Plus, which never had that issue. There's no space between the case and my phone for it to do something like that.
