Last year I got my droid X on launch day via online and I already had a cheapo case from Ebay.
This year I plan to get the Bionic on launch day from the store but my cheapo case from Ebay wont be here yet :(

Do you think cases will be avaialbbe from the store on launch day?
I cannot get the phone without a case. lol. Ya never know what will happen...
Any thoughts?
 
if they followed the pattern with the original DROID, then yes, the VZW stores should have them.

But, you really should looking into buying a CostCo membership now ($50) and then buying he phone from CostCo (with 3 accessories, plus a car charger and a leather case, for the same $299 that you'll pay in the VZW store.

Worst case scenario, if you don't like the accessories you get, sell them to pay for the ones you want, saving you money either way.

See http://androidforums.com/motorola-d...iscussion-thread-including-q-yankeedudel.html for more info. Yes, it's long - but read it - it will change your mind.

And if distance is too far fr ya: the Nearest CostCo to my house is 85 miles, an I drive a 2011 Nissan Frontier SV (V6 4.0L that gives me ~17 mpg - and I'm still going to get it this way, b/c 10 gallons of gas + $50 membership still = $80 savings on genuine Motorola Accessories.

You can't shake a stick at that.

Same to you - Although I personally think you need to make a new friend within 5 mins of that CostCO tomorrow afternoon and conveniently have car trouble so you cannot leave until Thursday morning...

LMAO!!!
