Combine incredible water resistance with a great screen and a powerful processor, and you get the Samsung Galaxy S7. It's built to withstand dunks in water for up to 30 minutes, and then you can wipe it off and get playing with a 5.1-inch touchscreen. The Samsung Galaxy S7 enjoys a quad-core processor for ultra-fast responsiveness.

The Samsung S7 Edge is a definitely beauty. Makes me regret switching from Samsung for my last phone but there are a few things from my last phone that I miss.
Active Display is nice. I see where they were going with that but it was kind of annoying and I hate that it was either "on" or "off" no other setting. My old phone (Droid Maxx) used to only come on if it felt moving. I.E. sitting on a table it was black. If I picked it up, the time displayed. Same if I was taking it out of my pocket. Probably 1 of the 2 things I miss from my old phone. The other thing I miss is being able to "flick" the phone to turn on the camera. With the S7, you have to just press the center button twice to activate the camera. Nice shortcut but not as easy as the Droid Maxx. But hey, if that is all that I have to complain about I'll take it.
The active display definitely affected battery. Charging takes a little longer than I expected. It's not bad by any means but they advertised it as it it would charge in under an hour and that has yet to be the case. Yesterday I had a full charge at 4PM. By 5 I was down 7%. Seemed like a lot for an hour but I was also using it a lot. Once I stopped turning it on and off the charge did last longer. I've also since turned off active display so we'll see how that changes things. I also just received the fast wireless charger so I'm curious to see how that works with it as well.
I think it's going to be hard to find a perfect case for the edge. The edge screen just doesn't allow for maximum protection but I think there are cases that are going to work fairly well for what they have to work with.
The phone offers plenty of features that I am discovering each day that I would have never would have expected from a phone. There is a "One Hand" feature that allows you to minimize the phone screen to make it easier to type and work when only having one hand on the device. Being someone with small hands, this is a huge game changer. Other neat features include being able to minimize screens. I haven't really needed this yet but it may come in handy when switching from apps.
Overall, it's truly a beautiful phone.

Will this deliver on the 11th or ship on the 11th?
I already ordered the product but am curious as to if I should expect to get the phone on Friday or the week following.
I think it depends on when you ordered it. All phones to my knowledge should be received by the 11th. I pre-ordered my phone through Best Buy on the first day and received it on Monday thanks for an early release!
