I bought my extended battery at a corporate store on launch day, though they said they only had two in stock at the time.

 

I ordered the 50% off extended battery through Verizon online, and though it was promised overnight, after I emailed them yesterday, they informed me it was out of stock.

 

I got mine in a store.

 

i did this. Except i did get mine overnight.

 

[from other thread]

Ordered one at 50% off two days ago, right before others were told it was out of stock. Now I got an e-mail saying the shipping will be delayed, but apparently im still in the queue for one.

 

Got mine in a corp store for 50% off on launch day.

 

Got mine over telesales along with a case and it was painless. Plus they gave me 50% off the battery where as my local store wouldnt. Free 2-day shipping.

 

I bought one yesterday at a corp store becasue I can no longer find it on their webpage. I had to call a few stores to find one who had it in stock and then convince the CSR that it was $24.99 and not $49.99.

I could not use my living social promotion for the battery because there is a minimum $25 charge.

 

I ordered mine on the 19th and when i go to the order status page i just get errors, i knew i should have logged into my verizon account when i placed the order, at least i would have a status.

Sounds like they wont be shipping for awhile though, i may just go into the store today and see if they still have any.

 

Bought mine Monday at a local corporate store. It was thier last one, but they did honor the 50% off deal.

Also ended up getting 7 wall chargers for the price of one. Check out this thread if interested.

Does it come with a new back cover, or is one not needed?

 

Yes and I would use it. I tried the standard and I am not comfortable with the tension. The extended smooths out the dip which like better anyways.
