Well mophie billed me on the 10th so here is hoping its shipped
Probably have. I got a notice from UPS MyChoice 2 days before Mophie got it out the door and emailed me. Looks like they are doing large batches and holding notifications until they are sure the package is en route.
Long and slick? (bites tongue and moves on, lol) Don't really notice the extra length. The feel isn't quite the rubbery grip of some, but it's not going to slide out of my hand either.
What else can possibly be done by mophie? Rework the iPhone so the headphone jack is elsewhere on the phone?
Fit and Finish Issues
Saw this video on YouTube this morning which addresses a fit and finish issue of the new Mophie Helium.

Curious to know if the case you received is experiencing the same issue. Mine is due to arrive Monday and am a bit concerned that mine will.
Any observations you have and can share would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Got mine yesterday.
First impression: Adds too much weight to the phone, making it feel like a brick inside dress pant pockets. Additional length makes one-handed operation harder for those of us with smaller hands.
Guess those negatives are to be expected, and are worth the benefit to many...but not sure they are to me. I'll give it the weekend before deciding to keep it or sell it.

When you flip the switch the batt indicator shows the charged(the fully charged symbol)sign for a very split second. The phone has to be on the home screen for you to see this. I wonder what this means. Hope it doesnt mean its damaging phone in any way. Anyone else seeing this?

Fit and finish on mine is excellent. The charging doesn't interrupt when handling the phone in any way.
Does yours show the fully charged symbol for a split second? When u flip the switch?

I think its very possible he received a bad case and that this is not a design flaw.
Received mine yesterday. I tried to replicate all those problems and mine did not suffer from any of those problems. The only issue is the quality. It seems that some parts are not cut right. Although there is no worries of the phone falling out, there seems to be measurement issues. This is really picky and I will probably keep this case. Is the dark grey sort of blueish or is it just me?
Good to hear! Mine's out for delivery. Looking forward to getting it today!
I think the issue that reviewer is having, maybe the contact pins in between the bottom and top piece of the case itself and not the lightening connector. I would imagine that there would need to be a lot more play for the lightening connector to separate from iPhone far enough to cause the charging to stop. Sounds like it may just be his particular case and not all of them. I hope anyways....
Did you notice if yours shows the fully charged symbol for a split second when you flip the switch? Thanks
Any chances for those of you that have received your Mophie, are using it with a Speigen GlastR or Bodyguardz pure glass on the screen? Looks like that YouTube reviewer is. I'm just hoping it doesn't interfere with case.
