Strange that there are no real pictures of the cases and the screen protectors on a real phones. Can't find any, not even on their Facebook page.
Oh well I ordered a Air Jacket (black) and a crystal screen protector on Friday and waiting them to ship them.

Had mine for 2 years and no peeling whatsoever. The back is full of scuffs and hairline marks though.
I posted some images on page 1.

Japanese video of the clear Air Jacket (skip to 4 minutes.) Actually looks pretty damn nice. I'm considering switching my pre-order from the rubber black to the clear.
Edit: Another video of clear matte and clear around 9 min here:

Looks very nice.
I am still going for the rubber black as those clear covers will definitely show smudges etc

I ordered on the 20th, and it shipped on the 3rd.
Will still be a while until I get it - via cheapest USPS international option, to New Zealand.
Here's an interesting review of sorts, though you'll have to throw it through a translator. It's great how tough they seem to be!

Despite having the black rubber version for my iPhone 5 and absolutely loving it, I have to say I'm leaning towards the clear Air Jacket as well as it looks great! I got the clear Air Jacket for my iPad Air and it is amazing with no scratches yet after nearly a years use. It's also very smudge resistant too so would hope the iPhone 6 version is the same.
Did you preorder the 6 or 6+? And, what color? I preorder 2x clear 6+, but no shipping notice so far.
How does air jacket hold up for drop protection or rigidity for the iphone (aka bendgate issues)? Thanks for your feedback!

Are these cases flexible or hard like the old air jackets? The last text review above makes it seem like it is flexible and no longer hard plastic?

After using both the clear and black rubber Air Jacket for the 5s, I can say for sure that the black shows smudges and fingerprints waaaaay more than the clear. It contrasts so much with the oils/fingerprints/dirt.
Of course the clear does show them too, but they're harder to see because there isn't as much contrast. You can't go wrong either way though...I'll probably end up getting the black one down the road myself.
Yep. Two actually--one matte and one crystal. And a cleaning cloth. And 2 camera flash rings (doesn't look like they incorporated them into their design this time).
This is my only gripe about PS now. You used to pay $30 for all of that. Now that will run you almost $50 (if you're in the U.S.).
Sucks.
It is if you are in Japan. You have to buy it separately if you are living in outside of Japan.
I haven't received a shipping notification for my 6 Plus black rubber Air Jacket pre-order yet. Still trying to decide if I want to switch to the clear version but I absolutely loved my black rubber for the 5, except for how scuffed it got over time. Felt great though and the stealth black look on a black/gray iPhone looks awesome. From all the reviews thus far, looks like everybody in Japan is picking up the clear.
It does suck that they no longer come with screen protectors. I'm debating going naked this time. The Mime Feather+ glass looks like a tempting option though.

I'm leaning towards no screen protector as well. They are so nasty looking this time around, not a proper fit with the curved edges and even if someone does come out with one that is edge to edge, it will peel - simple Gravity and physics. Most scratch tests are also showing the front is fairly resistant to scratches.
