Thanks guys. A few companies that I have not heard of on the lists above. Not good to hear that Alien Gear is this far behind with their orders.

But that applies to any Kydex maker. The holsters are probably just parts in bins, waiting to be screwed together, have the edges polished, then packaged, packed, and shipped. Unless a company has maybe a backlog of thousands of orders , I'd say five to ten business days should be ample time to deliver the goods to a customer.
FOXX, similar to CBST and other Kydex manufacturers has a quick turnaround time (at least they used to). I have several of their products for my Shield. The only thing I don't like, not necessarily related to FOXX (since most Kydex makers use 'em), are the metal clips. The bottom of the clips, that sticks out/away from the body, tends to make small holes in clothes over time.
I had both the Foxx hybrid & Little Foxx for my SD9VE but sold them with that firearm. Went out and got the shield and immediately ordered the same two holsters for my new EDC. I ordered them on Friday and expect them by no later than Thursday.
I upgrade to the kydex clips ($6.50) which is what I did before and they work very well. In short, I wore one or the other for the better part of 3 1/2 years basically everyday and the quality was tremendous. $39 shipped (before the upgraded clips) is a great deal.
Watchdog,
I have not contacted them but they send me a "we haven't forgotten you...........thanks for your patience...." e-mail about every two weeks.
They also "ensure" me that they appreciate my bsiness. All that for what it's worth.

I use the Bianchi Allusion™ Model 135 Suppression™.
- Very comfortable holster
- Easy to get a full grip on the draw stroke
- Re-holster one handed
- Belt c-clips are very inconspicuous (unlike some that are huge and have emblems on them)
- Mesh covered foam backing is very comfortable even in hot weather.
- Tuck-able
- Reasonably priced, around $50
I currently have a simple iwb JBP ambitexeriois belt slide holster for my Sheild. I am looking to upgrade and get a better holster.
I have a friend that has an Alien Gear cloak tuck 2.0 and raves about it.
Has anyone tried one of these?
Ebay has one for $48.99. I think $78.00 is MSRP.I don't know when you bought yours but, they're $78.00 now.
