After wondering what was going on with MidwayUSA’s ever increasing backorder date for the Magpul iPhone Case, it seems that Magpul has given an answer. They posted this on their site:
IPHONE CASE RELEASE DELAYED
As some of you know, Magpul announced the iPhone Field Case last January at the 2010 SHOT Show, with a product release scheduled for late February. Unfortunately, the current Field Case fit and finish are not representative of the quality and value that customers have come to expect from Magpul equipment. As a result, Magpul has chosen to delay its release in order to address these issues.Ever since the company was founded in 1999, speed and efficiency in product development have been top priorities, but they will always remain secondary to the quality and performance for which Magpul is known. Delays such as these are understandably frustrating, but are sometimes necessary to avoid betraying the brand, and more importantly, the customers’ trust in Magpul products. More information and release dates will be posted as they become available.
Designed by Magpul in Colorado. Made in Colorado.
Well now we know. Hopefully they will get this all worked out in the near future. I am really looking forward to getting my Magpul iPhone Case. As of right now Midway is saying it will be 6/14/2010 before the iPhone case starts shipping.
Midway is now (2 August) showing 15 October 2010 as the date they’re expected in stock.
Kinda comical. Wonder if they are going to remake it for the iPhone 4?
