Has the UK store always shown 10 days from the minute it went up for pre-order? I've seen things in the past where it stays at that initial estimate and once the release date gets closer it becomes more accurate, effectively saying if you order now you'll get it on release day,.

Not sure whether to order online just now or try my luck in store later this week.

Nope the UK store was showing 31/3 for all the iPhone SE's at the start, it's only recently this has changed on some colour options.

John Lewis are taking pre-orders for the iPhone SE starting 29/3 at 8pm for collection in store on the 31st.
Not sure how much stock they will have, but this might be better than chancing your luck on the day at an Apple Store :)

So are you all buying new cases for the SE or are you going to go with a 5s case?
With my 5s I had it in a (very slimline) case from day one, then when I started needing the battery case to make it through a day I started using it naked when I didn't need to be charging it. With the SE I plan to resurrect the 5s slimline case for the time being. For me, the phone's not for showing off, it's a practical device. A non-intrusive case helps by making the phone more resilient to every day knocks and bangs.

no case for me.
it's a crime using this beauty with a case.
its design was perfected to use without a case.
Then I guess I'm a criminal now, lol. :D

I ordered a glass screen protector right after the keynote, the same one I'm using on my iPhone 5 so I know it's good quality. I already received it so now I'm waiting for the phone.

About the case, I bought a Belkin View case (1 or 2 weeks before the iPhone SE get announced) for my iPhone 5 which was my secondary phone at that time but I'm glad I will be able to use for my future iPhone SE (because of the same design). Plus it have a transparent back so I would still be able to enjoy the beautiful rose gold color. :)

no case for me...

Same here. I might decide to buy a case once I learn how I'm using it and decide how likely I am to drop it or get dirt on it.

FedEx shows my phone still in Memphis, where it's been since Saturday afternoon. Apparently they're holding it there. If they have to hold it, I wish they'd hold it here rather than waiting until the last minute to ship it.

That's SOP, since Memphis is a FedEx air hub. It'll hop on a plane Tues./Wed., get sorted, and then deliver on Thursday with Indirect Signature required.

Mine originated in Philly and is sitting in Newark (another major FedEx air hub).
 
Mine still showing as preparing for dispatch, I don't imagine it'll dispatch until tuesday/wednesday.
 
Mine is now shipped, just like my wife's. Long story, but my original order was canceled by Verizon (screwup on their end) and just re-placed on Friday. So, their shipping estimate is still accurate - Verizon must have a LOT of inventory.

I normally carry my phone "naked", but I have a Kavaj Miami sleeve that I sometimes use to store my phone e.g. while traveling. I bought it for the 5, continued using it for the 5S, and will now use it for the SE. Longest lasting phone case ever. :D I also still have a Proclip car holder that I originally bought for the 5 and plan to mount in my car again. Everything old is new again.

damn apple still didn't charge me; i'm guessing because i ordered gold which is popular supposedly in China (they already pre-ordered 4milion of Se phones but gold and pinkish color are most popular with Chinese)
 
Anyone who ordered from Verizon...I forget, do they do a $1 authorization when you place the order? There's not one on my card. I ordered from my iPad while lying in bed on Sat night and while my CC# and such is saved from paying my bill, the 3 digit security code is not. I thought I knew it but it turns out I used the security code from my debit card I called this morning and supposedly they updated it for me (the dept that had the ability to do so was closed yesterday), but I'm worried they just updated the saved card info in general, and not on the order itself (if that's possible). I leave town on Fri evening so I'm hoping my screw up doesn't delay my order.
 
Anyone order through T-Mobile? How are your orders looking?

I was told it was on back order when I purchased it on the phone. I also ordered a 9.7 Pro from TMobile as well. I was in the dark until yesterday when I got two emails saying my iPhone and my iPad are scheduled for overnight delivery on the 30th.

EDIT -

I checked my bank account and I was charged for my iPhone this morning. That means it's being prepared to ship now. Still no information for shipping but I will post back when I get that email.

Haven't gotten any info yet I also ordered later on Friday though from the store. The order isn't even showing any info yet ugh. It just says processing.
