EVERYTHING I bought/ordered in the last two weeks and paid extra for fast shipping on has gone this way with exception of my Zappos. I panicked bec it hadn'shipped yesterday so I called and he assured me it would be in time for Thursday (drop dead date!) and like 30 min later it was handed to me. Woot!

i never do the expedited shipping option for this reason. TBH it just never seems to get here any faster than if i wouldve chosen the free or 'regular' shipping options, so i dont pay the extra anymore.

There are a few things where I know it will actually be useful. I am pretty aggravated though about all of this stuff. I ordered them WELL in advance on purpose. And still no one could bother to do their job and process it.

So it managed to arrive today...however...It's going right back. I opened it up and it looks scratched to hell, plus it's "bowed" in a weird way. The little rubbery bumper thing wouldn't lay flat all around and where it did it was pushing up my screen protector which is weird. The one I tried on at the att store did NOT do that. The printing is not fantastic either but not bad enough to be a problem, I wonder how bad it would be had I done a custom one? It also doesn't feel sturdy, as evidenced in that weird bowing it was doing. It was like that all through the case. This is NOT a $45 case. This is maybe a $10 on ebay quality case.

:eek: holy crow!! wow...that is bad. and i have to agree with you, the one Vibe case (white w/brown giraffe print) at the AT&T store i tried on my phone also didnt have that weird bowing to it either - in fact it fit my phone very nicely & i did like it overall & no wierd 'scratches' on the print either. It was nicely finished all around.

I'd hate to see what wouldve happened if you did do a custom design upload also....i can tell you when i did mine - it was horrendious!! But for a pre-made print to look that scratched....terrible indeed:( i'm glad i decided not to order one myself.

Yea I am highly disappointed. The only casemate case I've really been impressed with at all is the Pop. But they don't have combos I really care anything for. I guess Ill stick with my specks.

Yea I take protection over look in most cases. I can't handle not having any screen lip at all. I might see how the Jonathan adlers are. Though they are that squishish material.

I actually didn't care for the Case-Mate Pop! I tried the white/pink combo my local At&T shop had- it didn't impress me very much. I'm like you also, I like to have that lip around the front screen as well-and Speck cs's in my opinion do that option great;) I'm also a huge fan of the OB defenders too, I know alot of people don't care for them because of the bulk, but I don't mind it at all. My Mophie's have a teeny tiny bit of a lip but not much-I think that could be the ONLY thing I'd say bothers me but not OCD about it lol.

I also have other cases that are more for looks that I use as well, but for the most part, my Mophie, specks and defenders win my heart case wise:)

The pop just seems a little bulky but most of the color combos are ridic. I have the CS Satin back on again, and I dig that one still.
