I ended up in store at 9:30 am central time because the Premier site wouldn't work. All looks good, but mine is being shipped to the store. That is the only way he could get it to go through. That works well because I have to go in anyway since I am using DH's upgrade.

Excellent product with lifetime replacement guaranteed!

I have the invisible shield (full coverage) for iPhone 3G since July 2008.
I ordered the invisible shield again for iPhone 4.

My suggestion is use one of your four different cases to house your invisible shielded iPhone 4 because overtime lint will get to the corners/edges of the phone. Lint from jeans/pants' pockets and purses/bags, etc.

I have a leather case/magnetic closure with invisible shielded iPhone 3G for almost 2 years with no lint problems whereas my friends complained the lint problems.

The company that makes these just opened up a kiosk right outside the Apple store at the mall here and they told me that they will be open at 7 am on Thursday to sell the iPhone 4 shield.

I received my Fedex tracking number this morning. It left the foxcom facilities in Shenzhen, China on it's way to Lantau Island Hong Kong. Even though it will not get delivered till Thursday I will be checking the status multiple times a day.

Seems that Apple is cancling shipments to third parties (like Best Buy and Radio shack) and may not even have enough to cover Apple Store pre orders that have been confirmed! (They sold 600,000 units and only have something like 200,000 due to production issues with the display)..

The prices on ebay are in the $1000 range, and Iphone enthusiest forums are busting with braggerts expecting to sell 2-3 of them at this price OR HIGHER..

What a mess.. you would think that in this day and age companies woud be able to produce the product in ample stock prior to selling it, but it seems they are being shipped right off the assembly line still warm.

I guess this means I should be in-line when they open at 7 AM.

I received the e-mail of doom as well. It seems some WalMarts are getting the 4G on launch day without any preorder available. I am thinking about trying to be there when the doors open.

Some interesting notes on Best Buy's iPhone 4 launch policies on 06/24/2010:

Best Buy is expecting "minimal inventory", if you haven't pre-ordered for launch day, your best bet is to line-up early at an Apple Store on 06/24/2010. Apple Stores are expected to have an allotment of walk-in inventory outside the existing pre-orders.

But not much...

They are telling their employees the same thing. I don't have it in writing (great job on that!!) - but they said that they will have very few and may not have all that were officially pre-ordered, either.

If you have one being "delivered" to a store, I would get there early to get it.

Those of us that waited are not expecting ours until the middle of July.


How could Apple not plan for a larger demand??? You would think they would have learned by now to make a TON of these and get them out to folks.

 

[TMcDwyer]

So...those of you who pre-ordered from the Apple store, how early do you plan to get there on Thursday???

Question: I originally took off from work Thursday to be at home for when my iPhone arrives. However, now I wanna go to Six Flags!

So do you need to be home when it arrives to sign for it? Or will FedEx just leave it at your doorstep?

I am pretty sure someone posted that you can't waive the signature and I doubt they will just leave it.

Oh well. I suppose I will just have to go pick it up then.

Have fun at Six Flags!
