I've been looking at them myself too.
Basically, from what I've gathered thus far, it seems that the Atomic Hybrid, e13ctron and Jett are the ones that work the best, suffering from the least issues.
From this shortlist of 3, it comes down to personal preference.
Such as looks, color-combination, size-bulk factor, price.
Personally, I think the e13ctron and Jett are the ones I would go for, but with a certain budget cap, the Jett wins it.
Again, this is just my personal opinion about the aluminum cases out there and which one I would pick, I'm sure many others would agree/disagree.
Good luck choosing yours and let us know what you've gone with 😀

i have the electron. from what i can tell the jett is a little bit bulkier and has some problems with a few buyers with design and durability but the price with promo code is very cheap. the electron case fits very tight although i was still about to fit mine with a wrapsol wrap on it. it also is very durable feeling and great looking with no problems in the reception.
i would say,
1 e13ctron, very fast shipping(3 to 5 days)
2 jett, cheap price, be careful of quality.
3 atomic hybrid, not all aluminum but still the price, still a great case.
have fun

Yeah, I had it down to the Jett, e13ctron, and the Blade, now it's down to the Blade and the e13ctron, and I really really like the e13ctron.
The Xcel case looks sweet too.

Confused on what to get?!
You can bet on getting a cage for your device that will make it work harder, drop your calls, and give you crummy GPS. But you better believe it will look nice and shiny! 🙄
i had the same problem before, it was Jett, Blade and e13ctron.
i bought the Blade first, then the e13ctron.
i'm using the e13ctron at the moment.
they're both great cases IMHO, but the e13ctron is my baby at the moment.

Umm. I haven't reviewed them. I'm trying to get some of them, but Nir Schneider has already reviewed all of them besides the Jett, and they are out of the stock when I asked them for a review request.
I'd love to get a hold of them, but I only have enough money to buy one of them, and most of them have already been reviewed so I can't request them and review them again.
