Got mine today for the 6 Plus. Aero model. As others have reported, it does affect the signal. Without case, my LTE signal at home is -105 to -110 dBm, which is not all that great. As soon as I put the case on, it switched to 3G. The case is well built. You will never have to worry about your phone bending! I tried bending the case without the phone in it, and could not. It is solid. If verizon would ever update all it's 3G towers to LTE, then this would not be a problem.
Got a tip for us?

Airybody Aluminum Bumper shipping begun

just received my airybody for my6+ today. I just did the field test comparing with my devil case. Both cases performed the same. Without the case it's -90db and with either cases on it's -99db, so you lose like around 10db. If anyone in an area with very weak reception, I suggest you stay away from aluminum cases. But for me I'm using it fine.

Got mine too and I love it!!
After days of consideration, I finally ordered Airybody Aero aluminum bumper for my iPhone 6. Waited a week for it to deliver, and here is:

The installation is fairly easy. Just two tiny screws and a switch.

Took me about 60 seconds to install.

It's very rigid and industrial looking, maybe that's why they called it raw metal.

Overall, the quality is good and good CS. I haven't notice any signal interference yet, but will post a follow up later.

Does it feel slim? Is it sharp or smooth? How does it compare to the apple leather case? Is there a lining inside the bumper?
It is slim, but not plastic case slim. It has raised front and back rims, which I think is very protective to the screen and camera lens. The edges are sharp, but not razor sharp. It's distinct from iPhone 6's rounded edge, which really depends on your own taste. Yes, it does have lining inside the bumper.
Has anyone installed the updated click switch from Airybody?
I received my updated one but haven't installed it yet...and was wondering if anyone else has installed it yet and what their experience with it installed has been?

I wasn't one of the first batch customers, so mine was the updated version switch. I have no problem with it.
They updated a instruction video:

Gold bumper in the video looks really good with white iPhone.
Even though it's cool looking; why would use an aluminium bumper when it's proven to reduce your signal strength?

Ordered a case from Airybody on the 11th of Jan. Now the 28th of Jan and no confirmation on whether it's shipped. I've sent three emails to them and haven't heard back. Starting to question whether I've been scammed. People here have said the CS is good but I'm not hearing a peep.
I'll update if anything happens but for the moment guys, be wary.
