If it took them this long to come out with this version, any other version wont probably come out until summer time
Anyone think it will be too long?
I think it took so long due to the lightning compatability w apple. Hopefully sorted out

They say shipping by the 14th of Feb on the site so assuming you pre-order it will be in the mail by that day. Shipping will take however long based on whatever you pay for (overnight, 2-day, standard, etc...).
I'm betting what took so long is the deal to get these in Apple stores. Mophie is pretty much the only case manufacturer that I know of that makes battery cases that are available in the Apple store directly. Not counting whatever manufacturing and testing hurdles Mophie had to surpass, Apple probably made it more difficult by forcing either certain features (their Apple store variants for the iPhone 4 aren't slider cases for instance) or requiring additional testing for certification.
I'd also be willing to guess that these will be in Apple stores no later than the end of February not counting other retail outlets like Amazon or Best Buy which will more than likely also have stock by then as well.
I'm sure hoping that this case won't interfere with the BodyGuardz Pure screen that I have in place. Hard to tell by the measurements and pics but keeping my fingers crossed. 
Already pre-ordered one of these bad boys so stoked. It's the only case I have ever liked, protection + extra battery? Yes please.
so stoked. It's the only case I have ever liked, protection + extra battery? Yes please.I think it will ship well before that or after that due to chinese new year since production lines are usually closed down. Assuming mophie produces there
On the way? Did you get a ship confirmation already?Preordered...on the way. Can't wait!
Checking the status of mine, I see the following:
This order has already shipped or has reached the final stages of processing. Therefore this order is no longer editable.

Perhaps they are shipping sooner.
I wonder too as I get 15% off all accessories at the verizon corp store with the discount on our account. I hope they get them into the stores by the end of the month.

Early reviews are positive. They also noticed the metal contacts and the manual says nothing about them. Interesting.

Thatreview states that there is no syncing with the case. You have to wirelessly sync if you want to keep the case on. That kind of sucks though you can obviously just yank the bottom off like the Apple store variants of their older cases. Not as convenient as I would like but it is what it is.
No update on shipping other than it is processing.
mophie sites confirms this as well. Wish it had it tho. I wonder if the competing cases offer this functionality but might not be worth the trade off if heavier.
Just got my tracking info from UPS for the Mophie case. (Paid for express, which is why it is showing tomorrow delivery.)
Dude I can not wait to see a hands on user review! I wish the macworld articles had some more pictures
