Poetic Hardback & Slimbook Cases $5 shipped

[Explore3]

I picked up a Poetic Slimbook case for $5 shipped. I now own a case and 2 full body skins for a phone I do not own.

The case is scheduled to ship November 30, 2012. They indicate that the intro pricing will expire once they are in stock.
I can not give a personal recommendation for Poetic cases as I have not used them before, but have heard good things about them.

Below is an email I received from Poetic:

Dear Customer,

Here's a video review of the same case for the iPhone.

Looks pretty good! I wanted to get a slimmer flip case, but for $5 shipped, I can live with this. I'll rarely use the wallet portion, but it's nice to be an option. Hope it's easy to slide the phone in and out often as I'll probably only use the case when I'm out.

Thanks for the heads up, OP.

Does the fact that this blocks the speaker bother anyone?

How do you know if it blocks the speaker?

there is a small chance that they will have a cut out for the speaker itself.

Small chance? That's a major design flaw if they did. That would be pretty dumb if they overlooked the speaker!

Ordered both today with the XtremeGuard screen protector!!!.

i cant decide between hardback or slim book, i feel like the hardback looks super OG

Ordered the hardback. I feel like the slimbook would not really protect the phone when it drops.
However, it's a pity these pictures on amazon are only photo-shopped and don't show the actual phone inside. So, we can only guess and hope for the best

Delivery Estimate: Wednesday December 5, 2012 - Friday December 7, 2012

Amazon still shows the same shipping and delivery date I was quoted when I pre-ordered on 11/21. No emails about delays. I'll report back later today if I get shipping info. If I don't, you can assume that it probably wasn't shipped today.

EDIT:

Mine just shipped.

Amazon wasn't able to provide tracking information but I did receive an email stating that my case had shipped. Expected delivery date 12/5-12/7.

I ordered both together.
