Awesome. Good luck. Yeah, I've had three aluminum bumpers. All affected my signal horribly.

Yup. No luck for me. I was bummed. I've tried the aluminum Draco IV, Draco knock-off, and a Vapor Pro Stealth. Love the design, but sometimes they all completely knocked out my cell service and I live in Los Angeles. Weird.
I'll be sticking with plastics for now

That sucks. What's your signal like normally? So did you end up returning all your aluminums?

Sold them all on eBay! Now I just use an SGP Linear EX and the Draco cleave Crystal.

Haven't taken the case off since I received it. Love it. Also bought it in red. That said, I have a few cases and usually end up alternating between them.
eg2007, if it's not a big problem, could you please post a few pictures with the red version on? Just a couple would do... pretty please?
Oh, and is the Mute switch smooth to turn on and off on the 4S? Asking because I have a Draco IV Aluminum version which was originally designed for iPhone 4, the mute switch fits the 4S but in such a way that I can toggle it only from the bottom end of the switch. Thanks tons for the info!

Sorry, I actually just put it on Ebay. I thought I'd be alternating between the black and red, but I'm satisfied with the black one. Haven't taken it off since day one!
The mute switch DOES turn it on and off fine for me. No issues.
Good to hear
was the red somewhat pinkish red more than a deep, pure red? I ordered it and am hoping not to regret it.
Good to hear
It's a clear red. It's nice. I was going to keep it, but it's just sitting in the package and unused. I'm really happy with the case.

Ah, gorgeous. Tons of thanks!
If I may offer a tip for selling it on eBay — you know there are already knock-offs running wild, selling for 9 bucks. You want to be looking for people who care enough to buy an original Draco case for at least 75% of the price you paid for it (and not $5).
There should be a 'genuine check serial' (most probably 11 digits) somewhere on the box. Write in your auction that this is a guaranteed genuine Draco case or you shall return double the money paid. Refer them to the code (but I wouldn't post it publicly) and to this link:

You will attract the right crowd.
Impending Doom?
So, it's been a little over a month since I purchased this case. Now, near the screw holes, cracks are forming. This is probably to be expected, because trying to use screws in plastic is not easy, or, it's just an anomaly with my case. I don't know. I've emailed Draco Designs USA about warranty details. The case isn't broken YET, but I have a feeling it's coming...
Here are some pics of the stress cracks: http://flic.kr/s/aHsjzcMLqb

Yep. I agree. It's not loose or anything, but I'm guessing if I unscrew it to take it off it'll crack more.
