not to burst your bubble, irfox, but the one you got is most likely going to kill reception on your phone. the difference with the cover we're waiting on feedback from, is that it has a plastic (polycarbonate) piece, which, on the 4s, was to eliminate signal loss by not bridging the antennae.
Yeah, that was a risk I was willing to take for $14.99. I figured why not? I am interested to see the update on the Caseswill one though.
I did get my ebay one in today (again, you can order it here). I haven't noticed any signal loss around the house, but I'm in a good area. The real test will be tonight when I head out.
Here's a brief review:
The Good:
1) 100% aluminum
2)Nice, clean lines
3) Comes with spare screws
4) Sleep/Wake button cap built into the case
5) Padding on the inside to prevent scratches
6) Good fit, not rattling.
The Bad:
1) Small screws and allen wrench makes it hard to take apart and put together.
2) there's a tiny gap between the top of the phone and the case because of the sleep/wake button. Barely noticeable but there.
3)The two parts don't line up perfectly, but not really noticeable.
Here are some pics:
(I know there's not much love for the wood skin on this site, but if you like it, it's from Carved and it's great)
Overall, I'm very happy with it from a looks and performance standpoint. I'll post back about signal issues after I've had more time to travel around with it. But for now, it's working fine.
