The delays for these cases are going to get as much press as the reception issue. Unreal....

I feel another Apple press conference coming on...
 
I ordered the PixelSkin HD too. Do you think, that the delivery date for this free cases changes?

My date is 1st of September unfortunately :(
 
Wow....Sept. 23...really?

Just ordered mine an hour ago. Don't know when it's shipping. So the solution to the reception problem is a case and I have to wait 2 months for a case. That's crazy!

Steve needs to get on these people!

I know right?!? Well i ordered my otterbox defender case so we'll see ho that one goes and if it didn't work out, i still have the pixelskin to look forward to
 
I think it is really cool that Apple is providing these cases :apple: :cool:

We were late in ordering... 9pm PST, so I guess these will be great X-Mas presents, or? hehe :D

What a big score for PixelSkin to have the winning case. Now lets hope their production can get bumped up to hyper drive so that this will not really be something Santa brings :rolleyes:

Off to change my pre-order of PS Front and Back Set to the Crystal Film Set, since I will not be needing the back covered with film ;)
 
I got the same date for mine. I'm disappointed, but not a whiner. I'm getting it for free, so I'll be patient.

Anybody else get a different date for the PixelSkin HD?

Mine doesn't ship until the 20th of October and won't get to me until the 26th... :eek:

It's just a crazy long wait for something that is supposed to "fix all the problems".

I agree, i won't get my HD till the week of 11/1/10. why bother having Speck involved if they can't produce fast enough. should just take this off the list.

If that poll is anywhere close to accurate, 25% of all owners are going with this one case. Imagine the sheer number of cases that is, and how many they would usually sell if it were only one of hundreds of paid cases.

I'm not surprised the wait will be long.

Ya I agree. If this case is going to take this long to produce, then I think it's almost to the point where Apple should pull it. In the next couple of days it's going to get to the point where some won't get their cases until the next iPhone is released.... :p It's the best case on the list and it sure is lining the pockets of Speck.
 
D'Oh! :eek: And I thought I was kidding about Santa bringing it :confused:

Still no confirmation email. What time did you guys that have the November shipping date order it?
 
I still haven't been able to get the app to work. I've gotten nothing but "unable to process your request" for days now. Guess it's time to call Apple, or go to my store and see if they can put me down for one. Sheesh.
 
Who really has their phone nekkid as they wait on the free case from uncle Stevie? I'm thinking hardly any, so this free case is more of a bribe to quiet all the complainers(sensationalist journalists/bloggers). For the average Joe who has learned to live with the problem, or never had a problem, it's a small bonus. For those really bothered by the problem this is no solution at all.

Yeah, it's not like they tell you how long it will take to arrive. Oh wait.....

People see the estimated arrival date and are still willing to wait. If you're not, get one of the other cases.
 
Ordered the PixelSkin HD last night because the Apple Bumper doesn't cover the rear glass.

My ship date blows my mind though.

SPECK PIXELSKIN HD IPHONE 4 - BLACK-ZML

Ships: Oct 22
Delivers Oct 27 by Standard Shipping

Wow, that is ridiculous.

I am currently using the same rubber case for my 3G since I got my iPhone 4 last night, but obviously it doesnt fit right and feels weird. What options do I have tho? It feels weird holding it nekkid and I tend to drop things. :rolleyes:

We ordered the cheap $3 cases off of eBay as a hold-over. Comes from Hong Kong so it's probably filled with so much lead that I'm glad I don't have any kids. ;) (Kidding people!) Ordered the phones from the AT&T store and the cases both this past Saturday, and I JUST got the email from my wife that the phones came in. Quicker than the cases... happy though!
 
So then is the PixelSkin the only case with a 3+ month wait? Because the app just shows 3-5 weeks for all of the cases.
 
I'm will probably order my free case tonight. Hopefully the PSHD is still available and will deliver before Christmas. :eek:
For now, I have a couple Hong Kong cases I got for a buck a piece. A red bumper and a black silicone case. I hope the red bumper fits well because it looks pretty cool.

I just did the same. Ordered a $3 skin off ebay to hold me over for the Pixelskin HD. Hoping the Pixelskin comes in sooner then October 23rd though.

I'm not sure we should trust these ship dates. I ordered my PSHD on 7/30, one day after you. And my delivery date is Sept. 30. That makes no sense that I'd get mine a month before you.

If anything, I feel like these are exaggerated ship dates to attempt to sway people to order some of the other cases instead, thus balancing out the load.

Or maybe not. Makes sense to me though.
