Any idea if FedEx will deliver to an apartment office or the actual door? i won't be home that day but would love it if they could leave it with the office. This is my first time getting a launch day phone while living here.

I am curious about this as well. Last year I ordered my 7 via Sprint (was on Sprint then). They shipped via UPS and I didn’t have to sign for it. Was waiting for me when I got home. Now though, most of my packages go to my apartment’s front office, but I’m not sure how signing would work. Hopefully one of them can sign for it and keep it.

I don’t have anything to take a pic of it over my actual phone lol. I’m not sure how much space is left between the glass and the frame though so maybe it’s a bit thicker than the protector would indicate....hopefully

Funny .. i have had the same thoughts since i received my folio case from amazon. amazing what a full screen does. I even went back to specs page to check. It looks to be about the size of an 8. there is a lot of unused space at the top and the bottom of the 8 and 8+ phones. While I appreciate the impact on holding it in one's hand, I am getting old, so I am worried .. lol

So, I know that they can't DELIVER until the 3rd, but I read on a few different sites that if we show up to our local FedEx facility we can pick up the package early.

Hot!!! Thanks you two!!!

PS. I will report 10 of each of your posts if I don’t have X in hand tomorrow. >:)

Otterbox clear symmetry case is awesome. You can show off your phone back color with an excellent protection.

I have a love/hate w/ the Symmetry...at least with the Plus. On the one hand, it’s got EXCELLENT protection, but it hurts my pinky on the bottom and dramatically increases the width/length as well as weight. I’ve since started using a silicon case official from apple and tho the protection isn’t that great it’s soooo much better in the hand. No numb pinky, no super wide grip, lighter to hold, easier to maneuver, etc.

Tho, the X might be easier w/ the symmetry. I’ll probably pick one up from Verizon anyway, so I have a tough and rough case for those times I’m playing multiplayer games and controllers, phones, etc end up in the wall...not sure how that happens.

This can be turned off, no?

No other plus users a bit worried about the overall size and screen of our new X’s after getting real cases and protectors?

I’m excited for the smaller size!! I have little hands lol! I wanted the better features the plus has so I had to go with the plus. Excited to get it and see how it feels :)

Those specs make me feel a bit better. Maybe it’s the actual Zagg glass protector that is smaller in size. I’m thinking it won’t go to the edge. Hope we’re not catching any edges swiping up

Can anyone follow up with this? I would immediately go to the FedEx facility tomorrow as I'm off to try. May try regardless.

Does anyone have a delivery date in December...Because mine is 12/1
Click to expand...

My Wife had me order hers the next day after the release and hers is 12-1. Hope it gets moved up some but she don’t get excited like I do, it’s just a phone to her lol.
[doublepost=1509312426][/doublepost]It seems like every other preorder I have been involved in we were all tracking flights from China and hoping nothing happened at customs in Alaska and hoping for no other issues but this time our phones are sitting all over the country in holding areas and shipping pretty local for all of us. I’m glad it’s this way but don’t ever remember it.
 
For anyone doing a hold request, does the name have to match the ID with the person picking it up? I ordered the phone with my sisters account and have the same last name and address on my ID. Was wondering if I should call Verizon to change the delivery name or not
 
Just got shipping notification this morning! Looks like it'll be sitting at my Fedex hub from tomorrow until Friday though lol

I suggest leaving a note, saying to take it to the office.
 
Delivery dates for 64GB in SG and Silver and 256GB in Silver all still show delivery dates of 12/1 if you order right now. I feel like everyone with a date after the 3rd will get moved up. Only the(most popular)256GB in Space Gray version of the phone shows a later date, says 12/13 right now. Anyone know the date groups, such as 11/3, then next group maybe 11/10? haven't seen that date, the one i have seen next is my group 11/15, then 11/22 maybe?, then for sure 12/1.

My husband has the same case on his 7+ - I was going to order one for my x/10 but remembered the bottom hurts my finger as well.

I ended up going with the Spigen iPhone X Case Crystal Shell - Crystal Clear instead.

Back on topic - My delivery says by 3pm so I will chill at home- I dont want to request a hold and end up mess up something.

Is anyone getting conflicting dates on when their iPhone X will arrive?

The email I got from Verizon says, Delivers by 11/3. If I login through the desktop web browser it also says Delivers by 11/3. However, if I login through the mobile Verizon app it says Ships by 11/3. Ships by and Delivers by are two different things. I wonder which is right? Will it be here by 11/3? I have yet to get a shipping notification and see a lot of you have.
