I ordered Saturday night and got it today. It was shipped from SoCal though I believe and I am in SoCal.
Just placed an order for all 3 colors, I'm in California as well. Hope they get here soon.
STC, I don't think there's an option for PayPal. I tried looking for it.

Did you get a shipment notification when It was shipped? I'm in Indiana, and ordered Friday night so hopefully it shipped on Friday and will be here today or tomorrow.
My pink and gray one that I ordered over the weekend was marked shipped on Monday. Hopefully it comes today. Had I realized it was one shipping price I would have ordered all 3 colors.
The shipping price starts to go up at three. I ordered 3 and my shipping was $5. For four I think it's $10.
Hi, new to the forum but I thought I'd dutifully throw in my feedback since this is where I found out about this free case. I ordered the gray and black versions on Saturday, and they arrived here in Brooklyn today. Shipping was $6 for both for me.
I should probably mention that I've only had an iPhone for two weeks and my only other case so far was a $2 thing from Handhelditems.com. Anyway, as far as first impressions I'm very pleased with the gray case. Pretty thin, adds some good texture but not too grippy. I wasn't sure I'd like the ribbed condom-y sides but in person they're a bit more subtle than they appear in pictures. I like that the lip around the front of the phone seems just high enough to be able to lay it face-down with no worry. Fit is tight and secure but comes off easily enough for cleaning purposes. Overall it gives me exactly what I wanted: Added grip with minimal bulk, reasonable drop protection, and don't look too shabby. Very pleased, especially for the price. I'd feel fine about paying the full $15 for this, and trust me, I am a cheap bastard.
The black case is of course basically the same; however, the fit is slightly though noticeably poorer. As an earlier poster described, the fit isn't quite right around the power button, causing the case to be slightly raised on top. I don't consider it a big deal and I'm not sure I would've noticed on my own, but it's visibly worse than the gray case. Also, it had some weird white specks of dirt on the inside. Easily brushed out, but still, combined with the fit issue the black case came off as the gray case's slightly dumber, uglier, down-on-his-luck brother.
Also, this likely says more about my exceedingly poor photography skills than anything else, but over the course of several photos I was able to create camera flash splashback with the black case in a couple instances, but never with the gray case. Odd.

Same here, NWI73. Ordered Friday and no joy yet.
I'm in Philly ordered Saturday, nothing yet.
Does the case come in any kind of package / box? Or just the case by itself? I want to buy this as a gift and want to make sure it looks good as a gift. Thanks.
You're buying a -free- case as a gift, and asking about the packaging? It's not a $50 Sena case. I would check out a dollar store or similar and buy a gift bag and tissue, or one of those organza bags or something if you want nice gift worthy presentation for it
He said he wants to BUY it, not use the code to get it for free. I'm thinking if you pay retail for it, it will come in packaging. Valid question IMO.
My 2 cases arrived this morning. Initial impression is that this is a nice little lightweight case. The type of material used is somewhere between a silicone case and a TPU case and has a nice feel. The ridges on the sides are VERY grippy in the hand, but it still slides in and out of your pocket well.
It's quite thin and I'm not sure how some of the thinner parts of the case will hold up over time (the piece between the dock and home button and piece between the screen and volume buttons on the side), but for free and a little shipping, it's worth trying. This will be a nice, understated case for a more formal setting.
I agree with others here that the lock button portion of the case needs to be cut just a BIT deeper. I've got a VERY slight rise at the top of the screen, but it's really not that noticeable. To be honest, I think this will work itself out as the case is used and "molds" itself to the phone. Time will tell.
I got one black and one gray case. I'll try and get some pictures up later tonight of the gray (since the OP already posted pictures of the black).

I was very impressed with this case until I put it on. The top doesn't set and/sit right with my white iPhone. However this is a very nice case and I really like the side ridges for grip.
Checked my Wednesday and they weren't in, but I checked today and they were there so it was either today or yesterday.. Took a little less than a week
I think the packaging is simple, yet nice. It's just a small ziplock bag inside of a white ziplock bag with their name/logo on it, but it has a bit of an almost personal feel to it I guess.
Cases are much better quality than most of the other free cases people give out. Got two black ones and a grey one. No idea what I'm going to do with all these cases I've started aquiring, but I can't argue with free
Even if you payed full retail for these, its worth it IMO.. Pretty solid, nice grip.. Might attract lint, but I could see it being an everyday toss around case.
I'm very please
