I don't live in the US so it wouldn't be USPS for but Royal Mail as I live in the UK. That's assuming its already in the UK and it's trackable. I went for the cheaper shipping so unless they upgraded it I might have a bit of a wait.
Kind of disappointed that they are now putting their name on the case...and not encouraging that two people who just got their cases have mis-aligned cutouts.
...should be getting mine in a day or so, we'll see.
Could you take a picture of the "Shumuri" logo on the case?

I hope they are not all like your picture. Waiting for mine, and will be disappointed if I spent that much on a thin case and it's poorly made.
I can appreciate why some people wouldn't be happy with that. It does really need to be better aligned. That said it's not enough to bother me personally although I'll have to wait until mine shows up as to whether it's the same or fine regards the cut outs.
So discouraging to hear the cutouts aren't aligned. Why on earth would they think customers would think this would be good enough? Mine should be arriving soon but if it's not right I won't use it.
That's terrible. Is that the grey case? is it really transparent? how much of the phone can you actually see through it?
yes, it is the grey case and you can still see through it pretty well maybe about 40-60%...
Got my case and I'm a mix of pleased and disappointed.
Basically the case is exactly as advertised: super thin and minimalistic, the material feels good in the hand (slightly grippier than naked) and looks good on the surface. Something that is great is that you can feel the rounded edges on the phone somewhat again, something that I assumed wouldn't be possible with cases, which is awesome.
The downside is that there is clearly some quality control problems wherever is making these cases, and the shipping duration/distance may be making this appear worse due to travel wear/tear. The box the case comes in isn't super strong so I could see a thin case like this potentially getting mucked with during shipping. Don't think that happened to me, but just a general concern.
The main issues I have are: cutout misalignment on the bottom (as others recently posted) and the opening for the volume buttons is slightly elevated off the phone body, which sticks out when you view it from the front (aka, always visible). The somewhat good news for me is that I ordered the transparent version of the case so it isn't AS obvious as it could be. The bottom cut-outs are off, but you can hardly notice it when looking at it.
Would I recommend this case to other people? If it was constructed properly, yes. As I received it? Probably not.
I plan on keeping on it, but I'm not 100% satisfied.
Unfortunately for a vendor that doesn't have a lot of history, I'm not entirely sure I'd order from them again unless they clearly stated on their website in the future that they've overhauled their production process to ensure quality products are going out the door.
Here's the pictures:

Good! I like the look of air skin but it's just way too slippery! I ordered the shumuri hoping it had a little more grip. Also like the coverage of the bottom.
After fixing the odd volume cutout sticking out by working the thin plastic in the opposite direction, I now have a fairly good look all around.
I forgot how amazing it is to use the native buttons again on the sides. Feels great.
My buyer's remorse is fading!
I just placed my order yesterday but not sure I want to wait the 2 weeks for it. I have the 6 Plus and ordered the white as well. How much do you want to sell it for shipped to California 95054?
