I like the case, but not in silver. Code only seems to work for black.

Thinking of getting this one until I find something I like.. iPhone XS Max Case, VRS DESIGN [Gray] Slim Full Body Protective [Single fit] Ultra Thin Compatible with Apple iPhone XS Max 6.5 inch (2018) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GRMBNS1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_HvwNBbE2AMTXK

I been using the rhinoshield cases for few years now in multiple iPhones and I will never use another case brand agian. If want to have a really good case where you don't have to worry what will happen to your phone if you drop it this it is. When my friends and family memebrs in the past have asked me what case to get I say this one becuse of the protection it offers and then I throw my phone in the air a few times and let it drop on any surface and nothing ever happens. Just to show them its no BS. Don't belive me here see thevideos below. I also thought it was BS before I got it. They have a bumper case which is not that bulky and I just get it every year a new iPhone comes out I love this case.

I just ordered a SG XS 256gb. It was showing a ship date of 9/21...could that be correct?
 
Seems like most want the Max this time around lol

Gotcha. I was just surprised as the same phone thru Apple has an estimated ship of 9/28-10/5. Wanted to make sure it was correct before I cancel my apple order.

I mean if I could go in at launch and pick up one. I would never pre-order lol
That’s my question. I’m not going to get one, but I’m just curious how long the wait usually is? I walked in 2 weeks after launch last year and got an x for my wife without preordering
 
Day one if you get there early enough. And every day after if you get there early enough.

I think there will be plenty of XS stock.

I’m honestly surprised that even a day later it’s still shipping 1-2 weeks. When the 7 came out by 8am on preorder day some models were shipping already into October and the JB was backordered into November.

Well it is the “s” version. Next year should be crazy as usual.

And the 7 wasn't particularly exciting if I recall. Basically a 6ss with the headphone jack removed.
 
So someone could walk in to T-Mobile when they open and get a max without pre ordering? Like they have a certain number of phones available every day? I’ve never paid any attention to the iPhone release, but it’s interwsting to me.

Most stock is saved for the Apple Upgrade people, or people buying through Apple. Each carrier gets allotted a certain amount. Since so many people go through Apple now a days when pre ordering, yes you could find one. You could also go on the Apple website after 8am every day and find one to pick up in store if you’re quick. That’s been my experience a couple times in the past.

That’s cool. I just wondered if some people will be waiting weeks or even a month is all.
 
Went to pay my bill at my local T-Mobile location and asked about what deals they had on the XS. Since I’m JOD, i knew I’d have to trade in my X, and figured there’d be a downpayment. I set a limit of around $150 I was willing to spend. Was able to get the $99 down, and I bit.

Really excited actually, as I had been debating whether to upgrade to the XS, side-grade to the XR, or just pay off my X, keep it, and wait until 2019, and the downpayment was very reasonable.

iPhone XS - 64GB - Gold!
