Phone is being delivered tomorrow. That puts total wait time to 30 calendar days. That's not too bad given they initially had about 6 week wait time.

Hi everyone, since it appears Google still needs to reach out to some of the world leaders in manufacturing logistics, I thought I would start a tread to see how long you had to or will have to wait for your Pixel XL.

What size storage did you get (32 or 128 GB)?
What color device did you get (Silver, Black, Blue)?
Where did you purchase your device (Verizon or Google)?
How long did you have to wait (in weeks)?

I will start this off....

128GB, Black, Verizon, being told about 5-6 weeks wait time (3/21/17 is current ESD).

I have read reports of people waiting anywhere from 8 weeks to a couple days. It seems Verizon has the White 128 GB version in stock right now, but the rest are back-ordered.

I STRONGLY caution you against getting a screen protector from Verizon for this phone. I purchased a ZAGG IntelliShield one and it is about 1-2 millimeters short in the width of covering the light up area of the flat surface of the phone. This leaves a line from the edge of the glass through the actual viewing area of the phone and is more than annoying. Basically all glass protectors made for thsi phone are defective because they did not make them wide enough to cover the correct area they are supposed to cover.

If you didn't already know, this phone (like most new phones these days) has 2.5D screen. This means that the screen on the phone slightly curves at the edges, thus preventing a full screen coverage protector from being useful. So the manufacturers of the protectors have to make the protectors slightly smaller than the actual screen. However basically all of them failed this task and made them too small.

Just do some simple google searches to see what I am talking about. The manufacturers claim "this was done intentionally" and all of use say, "but you did it wrong"!

I just ordered this one from Amazon, which looks promising: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M69PTSV/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I say it looks promising, because the manufacturer listened to their customers and made a slight change to the width of the protector. Most of the reviews say the glass covers the area it should cover now.

Again, I urge you to NOT waste your money with ZAGG or basically any other tempered glass protector until you have done your research and understand what will hapen if you get one of these that are not wide enough to cover the light up area of the phone.
