I made an order from ********** to do some testing with the Remora with skins last week and I have the same problem as you. Says it was shipped on the 2nd and expected delivery on the 5th, still no package. And, no update since the 2nd.
Got a tip for us?

I made an iPhone 5 wallet case that doesn't suck. And isn't a case.

Well I still haven't gotten mine. I was in such a hurry to finish moving that I forgot to stop by the office to pick it up. Hopefully tomorrow.
But now I have a question: this second pic looks like its a textured silver with polished edges. Is this an option? I don't see it on the website. If I end up purchasing one that's probably what I'd want for myself and give my wife the red one.
Just funny lighting Brian. It's a black one. No silver, yet!
Keep me updated on all of this shipping. We've never had a problem with USPS... but if this drags on let me know and I'll send out more to all of you who are having to wait.
Just applied an Invisible Shield screen protector on the front. It fits while leaving the case on. I know because I couldn't get it off to apply the skin.
Also had my first drop onto cement today. Landed on a corner protected by the Remora from about 3 to 4 ft high. Small nick on the case, no damage to the phone.

So far nothing yet, this isn't the only thing I have coming through the SF sort facility, and there's some kind of hold up on both of them. My guess is that the next sort facility was in SoCal and they didn't attach customs forms.
p)
I've been using this case for about a week now, on and off (whenever I don't want to take my wallet), I bring one credit card, and my ID with me. It holds both amazingly securely. It feels great in the hand too! Love this thing!
Will write more after another week.

I was joking about it because it was very hard initially. Thanks for the help though.
I finally picked mine up yesterday. When I got home I went to install it on my phone and promptly broke it right at the headphone jack opening...
Sorry Brian! We've gotten one or two comments about this. We're looking into how our supplier is molding the parts, we're hypothesizing there may be an issue with how the plastic is flowing into the mold (not fast enough, and it's cooling too soon). We'd be happy to send you another one if you'd like to give it a shot. The bottom end is rather delicate given the small geometry, but it shouldn't snap like that. Let us know if you'd like another, happy to send one. Shoot me an email.
Yup, the skins I ordered to test with the Remora STILL have not been delivered and it's been 10 days. Seems like the Post Office have screwed up on a couple packages that were supposed to be delivered around July 4th? Though, I did get my Remora in a timely matter.
*update: I gave USPS a call, and have opened a claim, hopefully this will be resolved soon so i can get my Remora review out.
Haha well magically the Remora showed up today. No scans through any sort facility between SF and me and arrived at my local post office this morning. Still ridiculously long shipping, but that's not the vendors fault.
love the way this case looks & idea behind it, but I love bumper cases as well... Ever think about adding a bumper with this case? I think it will still keep a minimalist look.
Placed my order this morning, really looking forward to using this case. Wish I could have paid for express shipping to get this ASAP, lol.
EDIT: about a minute after I posted this, I got a shipping confirmation email.
Forgot to mention....received the case on Monday, after ordering Saturday afternoon. Very fast shipping!
I love this case, and the only complaint is that the cards can sometimes be difficult to get back out of the case (at least I know they are secure
) and that I haven't been able to remove the case as it's a pretty tight fit. I'm thinking of placing another order for some more colors!
I would like to try one
Hi Bjamin,
I would love trying this one. Can you send one to me too.
I sent the details to your email.
Thanks,
Naren

I got my case and was excited to install it but I'm kinda disappointed that the case cracked around the headphone jack when I trying to put it on. :\
