I received the RRS (Really Right Stuff) L bracket for the D3 a couple day a ago and just tried it on today. I ordered this at the beginning of December and it took a month to get, I read they were swamped with orders.
The bracket in my opinion is the worst bracket I have ever ordered from them (D100, D2x, lens plates, etc). The 2 doors above the battery really can't be accessed easily without a tool of some kind to pry the door open (bracket too cramped). The bracket itself protrudes too far in front of the camera and feels horrible in my hands as opposed to the D2x L plate which is perfect. They did not round the stock but instead cut it in a square shape, see here (not my images but another user with the same complaint);

D3 plate is on top.
Sheesh, and I waited a month....I e-mailed them to return it. :(
