This is funny, the first day I had my 5S I had to use the case that I was using on my 5. I was thoroughly unimpressed with my new phone, got my Apple case in the mail yesterday (they send them fedex smart post) put it on and I feel a lot better about my phone, stupid, I know, but there it is. With almost no physical differences between my old phone and new one, I needed a new case to enjoy my 5S.
I hear you brother!

Appleheads are a special breed of folk. New iPhone 5s, get new cases! No discussion! We need new all around. Well, that's some of us.

No, your not, I saw the same threads in Android forums when the One and the S4 came out - both tracking and case threads. We're not special at all.
Oh sweet Naps but we are very special indeed. Not special better or special unique. We are possibly special in a medical kinda way.

Besides that, no one really cares what the other phone people are doing right now. In here it's all about the iPhone 5s.

My Gold 5S is on the truck for delivery today! I will be stalking my job's shipping department waiting for Fed Ex delivery
Cool! What date and time did you order it? I'm just curious how soon the golds are shipping.

AWESOME! Definitely stalk! If you have a friend let them know you're looking for something important. You're lucky and brave because I could NEVER EVER EVER have anything shipped to me at work. If I could it would get taken anyway.

Let us know when you get it!

CONGRATS ON THE NEW GOLD iPHONE 5s!

I already alerted them. I sit right next door to shipping. It's hard for me to ship things to my house because no one is there in the day time. I will def post a picture when I receive it!

That's good. They'll never get past you, plus there's tracking in case you go to the bathroom and they drop it off.

It sucks when you can't have it shipped to your home, but at least you can get it at work. I can't do that, so tomorrow I'm taking off to wait for the arrival. If it comes early enough and I get my phone activated, I might go in to work. They gave me a window of delivery by close of businesss. More than likely it'll come in the afternoon. I've got to stay home though just in case I get it in the morning.

I'm just glad to get it.

Can't wait to see the pics!

I am really sick of this release for the 5S. I got up and ordered my phone at 3:00 am on launch day. Had a confirmed email at 3:16 am. Was told it would be 7-10 businesss days. Others had their phone shipped last week. I have nothing. People are going to the Apples store and walking out with a phone. I called the Apple store and was told that I should come in today at 10am. I get there and suddenly Apple changed their policy. They only sell the phones to store pickup. They said it was not fair for me to come in in the morning and get a phone when a guy who works 9-5 can't get his phone because of working. That is a load of crap. What about the guy who ordered over a week ago when store pick up was not allowed. Here I sit with no phone and still in processing.

@Donnybrooke

WOW! This sounds horrible. I ordered two iPhones I'm getting one tomorrow and the other I don't know when.

I don't know who told you that crap. I hope you did not cancel your order. Just sit tight.

However, the In store pick up option was cancelled last week by Apple from the info I got. Then they were trickling in to stores and it was first come first serve. It sucks, I know it, but Apple is trying to get these phones out as fast as possible. I know this because I wasn't due to get mine until next week, but mine is coming tomorrow. My hubby, unfortunately is coming next week probably. I ordered them on the same morning a minute apart.

I know this is frustrating and you can vent here, but hold on, you'll get it soon. Just don't be tempted to cancel your order.

Not sure if it makes you feel any better but I'm in the exact same place. I did check availability for in store on the gold 64 and there is nothing. As long as I stay in Processing I can cancel if there is one available in the store. But there is nothing and here I sit.

Where are you at and what did you order? I got my confirmation email @ 3:17am est and they were still shipping in 1-3 businesss days.
