If you got the Belkin screen protector for Apple to put on, make sure to read the reviews of the screen protector on the Apple site. Most of the people have said that the protector cracks very quickly, while others have stated that the screen protector cracked their iPhone screen. If this is true, it may due to the machine that they use to put the screen protector on, or employee error with the machine etc.
Thanks for the tip!
I must be one of the lucky ones. I've used Verizon's screen protectors (Not sure which one) and it cracked super easily). However, I've used Apple's Belkin screen protector and it's never cracked my phone and has protected it better than any other screen protector I've ever used.

Nope. Northwest Indiana here 45 mins from Chicago. Still nothing. Like I told someone else, last year I had no movement or anything until the day prior but got it on launch day still.

Also in Indiana with no tracking or charge as of yet. Our iPhones are probably already in Indy or Chicago or something haha

Rockford, IL here. My 256 Silver is sitting in Memphis at the moment. Have a FedEx tracking number and it will be delivered Friday.

FYI in case this is helpful information. I’m in Indiana, near Indy. Mine has “shipped” and is at the FedEx hub in Memphis. It says I will get it on Friday with standard overnight delivery. It has moved from a Verizon distribution center or warehouse in Memphis to the Memphis FedEx hub.
 
Because... It has not been unsual for ship dates to be bumped up in the past. If you’ve nothing of value to contribute to the inquiry then don’t contribute at all. If any with 11/3 see themselves being pushed back to further out ship dates, then I wouldn’t even ask. But as it stands right now, things are moving swiftly for the 11/3 people and all of us are eager about receiving this new piece of tech. So, once again, kindly pump your brakes.
Well he is right... you should pump your brakes as well. No way you’ll get this earlier than a week before the date t says.

I was late to the ordering party. Ordered around 9:45 a.m. local time and got the 12/1 ship date. My order currently says Pending. I'm hoping by some miracle I'll get it a few weeks early.
Hope but don’t hold your breath...

Too bad our phone didn’t ship UPS. Don’t think they have this restriction in place.
It’s a Verizon restriction did you not read the reply?

If you're looking for another to try, I've always had great luck with Spigen screen protectors (and cases)

Same for me. Worked great on past two phones. Never an issue.

Have had iphones ship up to two weeks earlier than estimated before so it was not unreasonable to ask or hope. And we have long since dropped the topic as I will not be the first nor the last with an estimated date between 11/10-11/15 to ask/hope about the potential for earlier ship dates. Time to move on

Denver here, card was charged yesterday, received fedex tracking today, hanging out in Memphis with delivery on the 3rd by 3pm
 
what time did you order? because if you have a 11/3 date and doesnt come friday, then i have no hopes of getting moved up (11/15) if they cant fulfill 11/3 orders
Ordered 3 minutes before it went live. 11/3 delivery.

What model?! I’m in Denver too and no movement... 256gb Black. Ordered right before it was supposed to go live. 11/3 date.
 
Try not to! I was but my card was charged a couple of hours ago. However I have a second order and that one hasn’t been yet. I think it’s random....
Did you get any shipment info yet?

I was charged a few hours ago too. I'm curious how long it takes to receive that info.

Same here, I’m just happy they finally processed the payment. We’re good. I saw an earlier post you might see it later on tonight or tomorrow.
