Has anyone received the Rhino Shield for their Nexus 6 yet? Curious, as I've had my phone for over a week and don't like the naked screen.
Not yet, I hope it ships soon
I emailed the other day. Got a response today that they won't ship until after Xmas due to potential shipping delays.
Here's the email I got today.
Hey thanks for the email,?*
All the Nexus 6 orders has actually been packed and ready to go, but we were told by the postal service not to sent them out, as the likelihood of losing them are so high!
We will send them probably after xmas/new year when the service resume again?*
thanks for your understanding and sorry for the delays.
Merry Xmas and happy new years!

I work for the Postal Service, and noone would EVER make a statement like that. Think about ANY business. Would they say "don't do business with us this week because we will lose/ruin/break your items".
That email is the worst lie a company could ever make. Think about it. They are making excuses for the delay so you don't blame them.
Thanks for showing me that. Now I will make sure to tell people never to buy from liars like Rhino.

I just think of Cliff Clavin, and how upset he would be if he saw that email. I call the company's bluff, 100%.
I trust the Cliff Clavins of the world moreso than people that sell knock off screen protectors made in China.

This is the email I got.
Hi,*
Thanks for your e-mail. We will ship after Xmas. As it's Xmas this week and it typically causes delay so we try to avoid dispatching products on Xmas week.*
You will received an notification e-mail once your item has been dispatched. It should take about 5-7 working days for it to arrive after dispatch.*
Thank you,*
Best regards,*
At least they're not sending automated replies.
I reckon they're just on vacation.

Just my little input. They aren't shipping from the states. I mean they do have a point though with packages being stolen as I've had a package stolen once while it was at a USPS faculty. But on that note I wouldn't call them liars exactly. Just wanting to make sure you get what you paid for. I am not even mad as I still have the factory screen still on mine lol. But I get what you are saying though when you work for a company and someone says something against it.

What my point was, is that no representative of the USPS would tell a shipper, "don't use us, we will just lose your items", as stated in that email a few posts back. Neither would a representative of UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc. That makes them a liar.
I never said that things don't go missing or stolen. It happens at every corporation, big and small.
Got the email today of shipment.
Just got my shipment email, coming from Washington! Hopefully I'll see it by Friday!
Got the shipped email. well well well, the waiting game is over, and a new one has begun.
I hope it won't have the halo effect :X.
I never used a rhino shield screen protector. Is it a glass protector ? Or just a simple plastic one ? What's the advantage of using this one compared to a tempered glass besides the obvious problem with fit for glass.
Still no shipping email for me. Pre ordered on Dec 11. Got an email from them on Christmas day asking me to review the product.

It's supposed to be really protective. Like if you drop it the from really high it won't shatter or break, and you can apparently hit your screen with a hammer and it wouldn't break and you can drop a ball weight on it and stuff. It's plastic
Anyone received one of these yet?

Would have yesterday morning but I missed the FedEx guy. Hopefully this morning.
I emailed them yesterday to see if my order had been overlooked and they just replied with an apology, saying it will be shipped by tomorrow. Yay.

I no you can't post links here but I just saw a leather case made specifically for the gtablet in dhgate. Light sensor, camera, volume, power, other side ports aren't covered.it looks prettty good. For 1 piece it cost 58 dollars. I'm gonna buy it nd tell you guys how it is. Its like a book case nd can be propped up!
Looking forward to the update.
Its the same case from ali express, but its about $2 cheaper.
Made by ZEC electric.
I have a group buy going for this case. PM me if interested.
I ordered it about a week ago - still hasn't arrived yet. They must have been getting a bunch of orders and jacked the price up. When I ordered it it was only $40 shipped.
$43 shipped. Ordered 2 days ago, payment confirmed through paypal, waiting on shipment (They have until Dec 10th to ship.)
Has anyone received their ZAC Electric case yet through DHGate? I ordered mine on Dec. 12th and still haven't received it, but they did bill me. I got a bogus tracking number and I'm not getting and response from Zaki, the seller, through DHGate. Anyone else get screwed by this guy?

Yep...same thing here. He did answer one email, stating that there was bad weather to blame. I responded that the tracking number he sent to me was bogus, and that either he lied about shipping it (which is fraud) or it was sent and there should be a different tracking number. I gave him till today to respond before I cancelled my order, and have heard nothing from him. RIP OFF! Caveat emptor!
Did you figure out how to get a refund? The dhgate site is a little misleading.
I just received a reply email from Zaki saying he was very busy, sorry that everyone felt he might be a scam, and apologized about the problems with bad weather and deliveries, but he encouraged we request refunds if we felt it was neccesary. I told him I would wait it out because I like the look of the case. Hopefully I'm not let down. I requested a status update for the time frame for the delivery, since that it my biggest concern. Are we talking days, weeks, or months......

I just received an email that my refund is being processed. Will take two business days.
I received the case today and it's the wrong one. It covers all the buttons. This idiot sent me something else, not the one pictured on DHGate. Do not buy from this guy.
I received word that I may be getting a few custom cases in the nest week or so. I try to keep quiet in case I DON'T receive anything and not to create false hope. So far I have been receiving things as scheduled.
When / If they come in I will write up a quick review and, of course, list what I have available for you guys that are holding out for one.

Hrmm... I'm starting to doubt whether expansys will fulfill all these preorders. I pre-ordered mine 5 days ago and I'm sure it was up before that as well. It seems that they are the only site taking pre-orders so they must be getting a ton of requests. I don't think they are a big partner with Asus so they can't be getting enough shipments to fulfill these orders. (not unless you're willing to wait till January)
And, they are still taking pre-orders!
Math doesn't seem right. (especially when sites like Amazon and Newegg sold out so quickly)
Plus, I'm sure a lot more people are ordering just to take advantage of the discounts.
Something seems off...

Yea seems a little off, however, during the HP touchpad firesale they pulled through. They oversold but fulfilled orders. Im hoping they learned from that fiasco and wont oversell stock they dont have. I never heard of expansys till recently, so maybe people in the US dont shop much there.
I checked my order status and its still not updated. Crossing my fingers...

They still cut off a lot of orders with the TouchPad(I remember getting the email but I was one of the few that made it though).
And with HP, it's their product. They started up production again to fulfill some extra orders. (can't do that here)
Oh well... nothing more can be done... It's a bit sad because the original transformer also had stocking issues. I thought Asus and the retailers would've coordinated a bit better this time but it doesn't seem that way. They can't really say that they didn't expect the demand when they experienced the same rush last time. I'm still not even sure when the "actual" release date is!

So I ordered my prime on Dec 20, 2011 from Amazon and paid in full with Amazon gift cards.
I patiently waited and was told that my prime would be arriving today. Woohoo!!
So I check my tracking today and it says that it is on the truck and in transit to my house.
At 7:00 pm tonight I began to get concerned and call the shipping company (Ensenda). They inform me that they never recieved it from Amazon. (wait what?? the tracking says its on the f'n truck!!)
They transfer me to Amazon support who apologized and told me that they would have a replacement ship out and arrive on monday.
I was put on hold and when support returned they told me that I would not get a replacement as they had none in stock. Also they said they had no idea when they would be receiving any more. They best they could do was refund me.
They would not even place a new order for me, and now I am assed out.
Now I have no prime, not even a pending order, nothing.
I have to wait for them to come in stock before I can even re-place my order.
I got ****ed completey after patiently waiting for almost a month.

I think mine's fine even with the slightly weak WIFI. No screen bleeding that I can tell.
I feel for you. I ordered from Amazon on 12/19 and used $300 gift cards. I am trying to be patient but it's hard to not jump on one of these other sellers like newegg, gamestop, or hhgregg. But alas, I had the amazon gift cards and I trust their returns department.
Seriously, good luck finding one. Sign up for alerts at nowinstock.net and you'll probably get it faster than with Amazon.

Wow. I wouldnt hold out much hope man. I spoke with a "support team leader". He checked to see when they would be getting more in and he said they would not be receiving any in the near future.
This whole situation is really screwed up. How can other companies be getting stock yet one of the worlds largest retailers had none, and has no clue when they will get a decent amount.

True. I just returned mine to Amazon - weak WiFi, NO GPS signal whatsoever, minor screen bleed (although screen bleed is a thing a lot of people don't notice), and that pesky problem where the right side of the bezel was slightly loose - like it wasn't glued down all the way (as it is on my friend's, who got one from the "new" batch just this week).
I'll also throw this out there:
- HHGregg dropped the price to $399 - and then removed it completely from their site when they sold out (it was sold in the actual stores for the same price - so no pricing error there) - it still comes up on the site when you search for it - but click the link, and the product page has been completely removed
- Amazon removed it completely from their site a couple of weeks ago (I wasn't even given the option to order a replacement or an exchange with my return - as is normal Amazon protocol - I was only given the option to get a refund)
- Newegg took it completely off of their website (besides the open box units they unloaded for $399 this morning - most likely, returns)
- A couple of websites have notes that the thing has been discontinued and they won't be expecting more stock in
- Best Buy has removed the sku from their in-store system - managers don't believe they'll be getting any more in
Like people said - grain of salt - but there are 5 of them right there...
EDIT - they may not be getting discontinued by the manufacturer, but my guess is (and it's just a guess) - a lot of retailers were getting heaps of these things back in returns - if it were me, I wouldn't want to deal with the headache of selling them...

Just a bit of advice. I'm a big Amazon shopper, and one thing I've learned is that you have to go out of your way to get that great customer service. Just because one Amazon rep tells you something don't just blindly accept it. Go through all the proper channels (Phone, Chat, E-mail, Supervisor) I can almost guarantee you will be satisfied eventually.
PS Personally I've had the best of luck through phone and e-mail. And afterwards you'll get two links asking "Thank you for your recent inquiry. Did I solve your problem?", if you choose "no" it'll ask you to give them another chance. I have had success in the past using this method as well.
You should easily be able to be put back on the front of the waiting list, it's just common sense. Any good supervisor should see that.
Good Luck!

How can you say a "vast majority?" There are just as many people on here with issues as there are people WITHOUT issues. You keep posting your thread, but it is all based on an unnamed, unproven anonymous source. That could be anyone, it could be a real Asus employee, it could be Seth Rogan above, or your imagination.
I keep hearing the argument of how there are not that many primes with issues because XDA and other forums are just a small percentage of actual owners and most owners probably wouldn't be on here posting their problems. Or how people wouldn't come on here to post that they have a great prime, but only if they have problems.
Thus, those with issues are probably magnified on these forums compared to the overall numbers. However, that can work both ways. XDA could also be a very small sample of those who think they DO NOT have problems. You really cannot have it both ways.
I am still seeing FAR MORE people with issues than people who do not have issues. Even in the Positive & Perfect Prime threads.
Your thread isn't really based on any facts or anything to prove that there are not really as many issues as everyone thinks. It could easily just be YOUR opinions since your source is an anonymous person. I could just as easily say "I know someone at the top, inside Asus, and this is straight from the horses mouth. They are having a lot of issues with the Prime and have had daily meetings to decide what to do. They are considering simply replacing it with the new model since the T201 has so many issues. They are starting to slow down distribution to buy more time to consider the next step to still maximize sales and profits, stay tuned!"
How is that any different than YOUR anonymous source>? I just made that all up, but it sounds just as factual as your unnamed and anonymous source. I have read your thread, I honestly have. After reading it, it doesn't change my mind. It doesn't make me feel more comfortable or confident in the Prime OR Asus. It just makes me question the source, that is about it.
Are they still in business? I ordered a skin for this device three weeks ago and they never shipped it. I emailed them twice, PM'd the guy who posts here sometimes, and left multiple messages on their BS answering machine. No response at all.
I think they're about to shut down or something, I wouldn't order from them or they might steal your money too.
Me : I have placed my order on 10/09/2016 and i have not recived any update on that till then . I pre-ordered my google pixel after ordering the pixel skins .Atleast let me know if there is any update on my order, the order status can't be in processing for more than two weeks.
Barry Allen (Slick Wraps):
Hello,
Sorry for the delay. We are working on getting this out to you as soon as possible. Due to the high volume of orders in our facility specifically for the Pixel/Pixel XL and this being a new device processing time is slightly delayed. You will get an email once that goes out. It will need 24 hours to update. Sorry again for the delay. we hope to fill these orders by the end of the week.
With Love,

That was the conversation between us though email..
I've called and called, and e-mailed, with no response. I hate them now.

Same here. I called, e-mailed, XDA messaged, everything for almost two weeks. FINALLY got a response a couple days ago that said they were behind on the Pixel orders and promised it would ship this week but didn't indicate anything more precise or about expediting. Unfortunately, just means another week without protection on the device and I went and bought a Skinomi because theirs never showed up when my Pixel did. Frustrating as had I known it would be delayed, I would have purchased something else. I was going to file a chargeback if I didn't hear something when I did.

No that's not me. You never responded to my emails.
I attached screenshots of my actual emails. Don't try to lie to people Slickwraps. Your customer service is total crap, end of story.
People shouldn't have to email you if you have shipment delays, the opposite should happen. This is very basic stuff. I know you didn't delay on taking my money.

Oh I'm sorry the way I read your sentence "that was our conversation through email" seemed like you were talking about me, and you were Barry Allen from Slickwraps trying to prove that Slickwraps did respond to my email. My fault man.
So, have you guys done a PayPal claim yet? I requested a refund through email several times, but haven't heard anything back, so I'm thinking about going through paypal...

If I don't have a ship notice by tomorrow, I'll just go the credit card route.
I ordered a skin on 10/12 and today they sent me an email saying they've shipped my skin and supplied a tracking number.

I just got the same thing, but I've contacted them idk how many times to cancel that order, so them shipping it anyways pisses me off.

Not surprisingly, they shipped my skin after I gave them crap on social media. Wish they could just communicate with their customers.
I did the same thing on twitter

Ordered a black leather skin from them on Wednesday evening, got my tracking number yesterday. USPS tracking site sez it'll be here Monday.
Update: the skin arrived Saturday. Ordered 10/26, received 10/29. No complaints from me.
I've already applied it. It's very fiddly to put on (one piece covers sides and back), but I really like the fit. The sides wrap around and come right to the edge of the front glass.
Same thing happened to me. Ordered a Pixel skin on Oct 8th, didn't hear a thing. Called on 23rd and was told it would ship "within two weeks" I immediately requested they cancel my order and issue a refund and at first they said they couldn't. I said I would be happy to file a dispute with paypal, and they immediately issued a refund.
I had a similar experience with slickwraps a couple of years ago, and gave them another shot for the pixel. Not again. Plenty of wrap vendors out there these days,
I just received my colored Google logo in the mail. My shipping status says it'll arrive tomorrow but it came today lol.
Did anyone's naked wrap get shipped yet? Mine is still stuck on processing...
I ordered naked-matte. I emailed them earlier last week and they said they'd be shipping by early this week. *crosses fingers*

I ordered my naked matte wrap and after about a week it shipped. In the meantime I had contacted customer service and they replied very quickly saying they were backed up due to high demand.
I ordered two phones, one for my wife and one for myself. Fedex delivered one package today with one phone. Both packages were scanned in to the local drop center at 5:11am this morning. One was scanned onto a truck at 9:30 and the other one has no activity at all. They have no idea where the other package is. And it being Saturday evening, they said that they're unlikely to get it figured out until sometime on Monday morning.
I was so looking forward to getting the phone and setting it up tonight.
:crying:

Well you got yours, it looks to me like your wife's is missing!
It sounds like internal theft. Check Craigslist maybe. ?

I never thought of that. Fortunately it was never delivered, so it's not my responsibility. They are saying that it'll probably come on Tuesday. We'll see if that happens.
But you do bring up a good point. I should probably contact Best Buy and let them know what's going on. If it was stolen, it's their problem. Well, theirs and Fedex.

I questioned him, but never got that personal.
He even showed me his package sheet showing only one package.
they are getting slicker and slicker on covering their tracks...lol but seriously, it might just end up finding it's way to you next business day. If not, fault is on them. Once it's on your country's soil, they cant call foul play on loss/theft and deny responsibility. they acctualy had it in their depot. U'll either get a refund or a new one i would think. You just need to harass the shipper now.

I've been harassing them non-stop for most of the day. They told me on the phone that they only deliver Tuesday through Saturday for this type of Fedex delivery. So the next chance that I have to get it is Tuesday afternoon. If it's not delivered by then, then the harassing starts again.
Hope i wont go through this my self. But then again,i payed mine with paypal so usually they are the muscle.
Since its the international variant, im reading up on how i can change the csc to a canadian variant although i cant flash the rom since obviously its exynos vs snapdragon.
trying to keep busy while waiting for it to ship....
also ordered a couple cases and screen protectors to test out. its very hard to pick only one of each and be satisfied with the results. theres always some weird fitting issue or simply trash quality that makes the device feel sub pare.

What if your wife is just setting up a prank with the Fedex guy, to then have Aston Kutcher jump out the bushes and your being featured on his 1st episode to his comback of "Prank'd" but before Aston uploads it to MTV your wife uploads it to YouTube and it gets millions of views bringing in revenue and being able to pay off both phones with the YouTube money and win a chance to see the Note 9 google edition prototype running android Oreo at the Samsung Lab.

Ya know, that's another thing that I never thought of.
Man that sucks I would be pissed. But what could you do? Hope you get it soon it's a great phone.
They didn't lose it I think. Same thing happened to me. Th3y said they couldn't find it, but found out it was locked away in some container and it was delivered the following Monday. Just wait for it is all I can say

Why would they not deliver the package on Monday? That doesn't make sense to me, express delivery should happen any business day of the week. Maybe that's why mine says delivery Tuesday even though it's in the local sort facility already.

The guy that I talked to at FedEx called it "FedEx Home Delivery", and said it only runs between Tuesday and Saturday. It's probably the cheapest way that they could find to deliver it.
Interesting, FedEx Home Delivery is listed as Tuesday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Saturday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m
Looks like no phone for me tomorrow, Tuesday it is
Same thing happened to me. Supposed to be overnighted to me last Thursday. Arrived is Memphis depot, from there, nobody knows where it is. I asked them how is that possible, that's their core business, shipping and being able to track the shipments. Anyway, I told them to send it back when/if they find it. Fedex is crap!!
Don't feel like you're alone. Fedex has lost my Note 5 I sent in as my trade in. I have verified it was picked up by the driver, but has since disappeared, there's not even any tracking information. Fedex is supposedly researching, but I don't expect it to be found. That puts me out a phone, plus the $425 trade in credit with Samsung. Soooo pissed right now....
kind the same happened to my friend Note 8, he had it hold at UPS location for pickup but when he show up to pick up the phone, they can not locate it.
