Lucky. I ordered mine on the 5th and it's still processing. I'm moving on Saturday several states away and was so hoping to avoid having to have someone come fetch my mail or deliveries and then reship them to me in FL. Not happy.
I wonder how you got it shipped already, the Solo's (every color) said "Ships: Friday August 13th"... still waiting for mine to ship

When I went online to order on Thursday around noon not all the colors were for shipping on August 13. Some definitely were but not the Quartz.

Mine said when I ordered it that it was due for delivery by mid-week this week (don't remember exactly which date it stated, but I know it was well in advance of the 13th). I'm mainly just annoyed that people who ordered after I did have gotten confirmations and shipping info and I have yet to see word one from iSkin. I just emailed them to ask them WTH was going on; we'll see what they come back with.
It's possible that some of the people who have gotten shipping notices have selected a faster shipping method than you did.
Three years ago when the first iSkin case was out for the original, I ordered over night shipping and was one of the first to get mine. Some people were upset by that but they were offered over night as well but selected a different slower method.
I chose regular UPS shipping but since the company is in Toronto and I am in Montreal it normally does not take more than 1- 2 days with UPS.
I just got my Carbon iSkin solo for iPhone 4. Seems like a pretty nice case so far. It hugs the phone well, and it feels grippier than the aluminum and glass of the phone without the case. Mine seems to be kind of odd up top, though - if the case is fitting snugly, it keeps pressing the wake/sleep button and holding it down. If it's not fitting snugly on the top edge I don't have that problem, so hopefully it's something I can fix by trying to shift the phone around slightly. That said, I do like the case quite a bit, though I still wish they had a different color selection.
I just received my iSkin quartz case from UPS. It is what I expected when compared to the images on their site. Compared to my Griffin motif which I purchased the day I bought my phone I actually prefer the Griffin. I do not like the cuts on the case bezel at the top left and right.
Overall, a bit of a waste for me I believe. Here are some quick and dirty pics taken with the iPhone 3G I have.

any pics of the black solo or a youtube video ? i just orderd mine and i cant wait to get it.
To the owners, does this case stay on nice and tight, meaning when you pull it out of your pocket does it tend to come off the edges ? this happens to my bumper here and there.
Thanks

To follow up on the Iskin Quartz viz-a-viz the Griffin Motif, both of which are variations on the clear theme, the smoky look of the Motif looks classier than the watery milk appearance of the iSkin Quartz.
Richxps,
Both the Griffin Motif and the iSkin Solo Quartz come out nice and smoothly from one's pocket and the case does not come off at the edges. Neither of these are lint magnets.
The actual material used by these cases is seemingly identical and a few of the cutouts are the same. Some differences yes but I would not be surprised if they both come from the same Chinese factory.
That's what I was thinking, too, but then I saw this:
I still haven't received so much as an order confirmation from iSkin.
I never received an order confirmation either from iSkin and that is when I phoned them up. It was resent to me and when it came to shipping, I received proper notices from iSkin.
Pics please
I don't have a camera other than the one in my iPhone... so I'm not sure how handy pics of the empty case would be. It looks pretty good, slightly lighter than the black on the front glass of the iPhone. The back is transluscent, which actually looks kind of weird - turns the Apple logo and the writing into a sort of very dark gray. You can't see the lines on the back side of the case as much as it appears you can with the other colors - they're really hard to see unless you're looking at the right angle.
I did some subway travel with the case this afternoon. I guess it's pretty good. I like the textured sides - the grip is much better than with no case, and the fit overall is good - like someone said earlier, there seems to be little to no chance it would slip off in normal situations. The case is made of pretty stiff material. The volume buttons work well and the cutout for the mute switch is perfect for me. The overall fit is really nice, except for me the wake/sleep button. I was hoping the case would settle in relatively quickly and stop giving me problems with it. The way the case normally fits, it's not snug at the top edge. If I try to tighten up the case to the phone at that edge, the wake/sleep button sticks. It's not really a big deal overall because the case does seem to want to have a mm or two of space there anyway, but this is still a fit issue for me. Not sure if this is universal or not, but that is my only gripe with this case.
Please! Someone tell me that you've gotten a Revo4! I'm dying to get mine. I'm still waiting for my tracking number...
