I’m showing no stock in stores for iPhone X Leather or Silicone cases until Nov 8 in the Bay Area, including Infinite Loop.

Even expedited shipping for $16 won’t guarantee arrival by 11/3.

This seems like a huge miss. Anyone know what’s going on here?
What?
 
Which iPhone X will you be using with the Cosmos Blue case?
I ordered the Silver. I know you hardly see the phone color when it's in the case, but I take the case off a lot at home and like that they go well together. My 7+ is Jet Black, and i've kept it in a Black case and I also got a Berry colored one this summer that I thought looked nice with it. I'm hoping the Cosmos Blue ages well. The darker colors usually do, but the Midnight Blue I've heard turns almost black really quickly.

Thanks for your feedback. I also like the Cosmos Blue. I am leaning towards getting the Silver iPhone X to match my Silver SS Apple Watch.

Want a color which is not black or Grey. Those are regular leather colors and even brown.

How is dark purple? Probably not as good as Cosmos Blue. Midnight Blue is dark and may look better with Space Grey
 
I order the ultraviolet silicone case last night and it says preparing for shipment. Hopefully it will arrive before friday.

It should. I ordered the same case on Saturday night, and it already shipped for delivery Wednesday. I didnt choose expedited shipping.
 
I ordered Cosmos Blue last night. Delivery date 11/15-11/22. I waited too long to place the order. Oh well, you live and learn.

I ordered the same one last night and had the same exact estimated delivery dates, however, today it moved into a preparing for shipment status and I have a new package that is showing up in my FedEx delivery manager which is coming from Rialto, CA and delivering by Nov. 1st. Other than the iPhone X, I'm not expecting any other FedEx packages this week.

The delivery date on the product page is now showing 11/6-11/8 with free shipping. I’m hopeful that my delivery date will be pushed up.

I don’t have any tracking info showing in UPS My Choice (or FedEx Delivery Manager), other than my iPhone X to be delivered 11/3.

You can order it on best buy and should be able to get faster shipping I just ordered today and it's being delivered on the 2nd.

Just got confirmation from the Apple Store app that my order of the case has shipped and will in fact be here on Nov. 1st. :)

a few hours ago mine moved to shipped and will be here tomorrow. Thats quick!
 
Just FYI. I ordered cosmos blue and Product Red this afternoon with next day shipping. They are being delivered tomorrow, so there is no lack of stock.
 
The 2 cases that went into a 2-3 week delay here in Australia was the cosmos blue and dark grey. The rest are 1 week.
 
Ordered a cosmos blue case super early this morning and already shipped and scheduled delivery for tomorrow with the free standard shipping... seems stock is fine and the dates on the app are just playing it safe!! Super happy i'll have my case of choice for release day!
 
got my white case in yesterday, very nice. I like how the buttons are now actual buttons that match the apple logo color!
 
Do we think the Apple stores will have some cases available on launch day? Right now it says store availability Nov 10th.

Got mine today. Did you order with preorder?

Which Apple Leather Case will be best suited for the iPHone X Silver model and which one will be best suited for the Space Gray model?
They have the same frontward appearance, so it doesn't matter. The silver/spacegray rear is hidden by case.

I dropped by my closest Apple Store today and was told they would definitely have them available in-store this Friday.

However, the one I ordered on apple.com for pickup in-store is saying it should arrive today, but I have yet to receive an email, and the same associate I spoke to seemed quite surprised the website gave me a pickup date of Wednesday.
 
Some cases are shipping much faster than the estimated date online. For example, I ordered a Leather Cosmos Blue this morning and it is being delivered tomorrow! Estimated dates on order was Nov 6-9.
