I have the same phone as yours with the same est ship, only difference is I was 3 hours ahead of you ordering and signing. No news yet. As some one a few posts above mentioned, the 7 JB is the true unicorn this year .

It's totally not worth it to buy them in any retail stores. Please don't if you value your money! Amazon has TONS of them in any variety you can think of, (anti glare, mirrored, tempered, matte, ect.). All well under 20 and even 10 bux. I have never had one do me wrong. I have always used the tempered glass with a clear drop rating and good reviews. A lot of them even have 2 or 3 in one pack for 10 bux. MAKE SURE TO READ THE REVIEWS. I currently have one for my 7+, although I have yet to receive the phone--it's currently on sale for $8.99 (regularly $29.99) and it's a 2-pack tempered glass screen protector by amFilm, and it's sold by TechMatte. Last year, I got an even cheaper one on Amazon for my 6s+ for $6.95, and has never failed me. I drop my phone a LOT, so a great buy. It's made by MPERO and sold by Empire Case. It has many varieties as well. The amFilm one seems to have much better reviews, however.

Definitely look around on Amazon.

Someone here recommended Skinomi (around $8 on Amazon), I just placed an order for it, it has great reviews. The only reason I was thinking of buying the Belkin is because Apple has the machine application thing. I'll just take my time applying it and making sure its perfect.

thanks!

mine says the same. i was charged yesterday morning 10am and label created at 8:22pm. no origin scan and says it should be delivered today which makes no sense if it hasn't been picked up yet by ups.

I've had good luck with eBay tempered glass screen protectors for less than $1. I even took an old one off of my wife's 6+ to put on her 7+ RG. There are no bubbles or dust evident on this now 2 year old, used screen protector. The feel and touch is indistinguishable from the naked screen. The only thing is you have to be willing to wait for 2-3 weeks for delivery, but you can't beat the price.

yep. Charged yesterday, UPS app showed tracking info in the morning, later i got confirmation from Tmobile. Says its shipped with a "9/28 estimated delivery date between 12:15pm and 4:15pm (ET)" which i of course don't believe LOL im sure it will be delivered tomorrow instead, maybe even Friday. But who knows, maybe they'll surprise me and actually deliver early evening today.

Everyone-it seems pretty clear that:

1-t-mobile is sending out the phones just about as fast as they are being made.
2-From the time of card charging, it is about 1 full business day until it actually starts moving
3-While there are exceptions, it seems like most people's orders are following this pattern.

My iphone was made last week in China (week 38) and charged on Friday. I received on Tuesday, and despite it being stuck in Waiting for UPS all weekend, it didn't move until Monday evening...9pm Pacific time. By morning it will in my city out for delivery.

I don't know when the charges are being made-when they arrive in Alaska, or Louisville...but I am thinking it is Louisville. I studied my package carefully and there was NO indication the label was printed in China. It did seem as it was a domestic label, likely printed in Louisville. I also noted that the air cushioning in the box showed no Chinese...or indication it was from China. I think they are packaged in Louisville. Would make sense as they could fit far more iphones in iphone boxes on a plane than T-mobile boxes containing iphones....my T-mobile box could have fit 3-4 iPhones.

Hope this helps some of you.

Mine is still raw materials in the ground somewhere. They have yet to even move the excavator that will dig through the dirt, that will unearth the materials needed for them to create the most deliberate evolution of their original founding design. They have yet to shape the aloominyoom body and form the sheet of glass that will describe a singular shape. One made with very few, very precisely engineered parts. Bear in mind that their obsession remains to continuously simplify and improve. From sculpting the camera housing directly onto the aloominyoom body, to embedding the antenna within the enclosure, essentially making it disappear. They still have to bring each refinement that serves to bring absolute unity and efficiency to their design. To define one truly uninterrupted form they had to develop a whole new PRO-cess to achieve a high gloss black finish. This will require them to utilize rotational 3-D polishing. After that, they need to utilize a specialized compound to flow over the intricate geometries of the housing to remove imperfections establishing a seamlessness between materials and producing a pristine mirror-like surface. The enclosure will then go through an anodization pro-cess which creates a protective oxide layer. A single component dye still needs to be absorbed through a capillary effect to ensure maximum saturation while actually becoming part of the surface itself. Finally, a magnetized ultrafine iron particle bath needs to be used to polish the anodized layer to superior high shine. When complete my iPhone 7 will be the most singular, most evolved, representation of this design.

No wonder it's taking so dang long.

No problem!
It is the WORST not knowing where it is. I was more upset over not knowing, than the money itself honestly. I was even looking into my options as far as hiring a lawyer and whatnot. How is it fair for me to pay for 7 months, when even TMobile didn't even know where it was? I saw , like you did, that I definitely wasn't the only one. To add insult to injury, they had FORCED me to mail it via USPS when I begged and pleaded to be able to take it into a store or use UPS for the return. I had no faith in it from the beginning. They also told me tracking was useless anyway, because they don't have proof that it wasn't just an empty box, a broken phone, or not the right phone. It's like "no ****! That's why I wanted to bring it into the store!" I waited until the 16th to order my 7+ this year, until I received multiple guarantees from multiple T-Mobile supervisors that I could, in fact return my 6s+ in-store.

It's totally ridiculous. They don't seem to care this year either when I told them of my experience.

It's good that you contacted T-Mobile early on and persistently, so that they have record that there was no delay in your return of it. Each call is logged in your account. Take care and good luck. They WILL get your money back to you at some point as a bill credit.

UGH. USPS just called me and said phone shipments from Texas take about 3 weeks to get to York, PA. (Which is total BS because my brother's package arrived on time). The lady told me there's basically only two options, which is to contact T-Mobile to do a IMEI search to see if any phones they have that fell out during transit matched my IMEI number or to contact the main USPS office to do a mail package recovery or something to see if they can locate the package.

She also mentioned that it's uninsured. WTF T-Mobile? Obviously my phone has to be worth something for you to offer a trade-in and you decide not to insure it at all? I sense many weeks and months of arguing this in my future.
