I am not sure why you say home button is not needed? Its the most used button on the phone! Why wouldn't you add it to your design. Post a picture of the top of the phone because I do not know how you can say you can still reach it through the case because there is no way the case it that thin. And if it is that thin, it has to be very unprotective, what kind of impact would this case handle? Like I said, you claimed it caused no signal lose and I am not calling you a liar. I just want to see proof, I posted a link to the Atomic case in field mode only loosing 10 db's from the perfect -51, that's the best you can get in perfect environment so really it was loosing less than that! With a apple bumper on I was still losing 5 db's. I would like to see your claim!
Good call to "lay the cards on the table". Regardless of what comes back, I am NOT going to be a guinea pig again for these type of cases. If the reviews come back from more than one reviewer that the issue has been taken care of, I might consider this case.
I have asked now 3 times and he still wont privide readings! Kind of makes you wonder. Maybe he can't live up to his claims!
I am not trying to flame you but you stated that your case does not interfer with signal, someone asked me to post the Atomic case numbers in this thread, so I did and all I am asking if for you to do the same. I would be willing to bet you that your numbers are no where near as low, that's all I am saying. I have proved it on my end. Now its your turn. My last reading was -59 db's with the case on. That's -8 from perfect. Lets see how the cases stack up. Vapor made a claim that their case wouldn't affect the signal and it absolutely killed it, and the gps. I have been helping Atomic test and work out a few things on their case and my readings are damn near perfect and my gps work's perfectly too. So all I am asking is to post your claims. Alot of us got burned by Element and I would hate to see it happen to anyone else. That is why we have spent the time with the Atomic case making it damn near perfect.
I am working on finishing the website and ecommerce.. i will certainly have pictures up for you.. in a few hours... please don't flame me. I am trying to do numerous things at the same time. Thanks for your patience.
I don't understand aluminum (or any metal) cases. They all cost considerable money. If you drop one on concrete, you have a dent/nice/deep scratch at best. Are you going to shell out another $75+ for a new case at that point? Are you going to walk around with a dented case?
He did state that he was busy with multiple projects but that he would post pictures soon so I'm not exactly sure what's so difficult to understand about that...
nobody wants to flame you, it's just that we are all a bit frustrated in a way by ElementCase and their lousy shipping system.I am working on finishing the website and ecommerce.. i will certainly have pictures up for you.. in a few hours... please don't flame me.

Is there any way I can contact you by email sir?!?
Hey mate, ElementCase may be guilty of many things, lousy shipping system, the extra logos and the V2 surprise but if it wasn't the bad antenna of the iPhone this wan't gonna happen. There are some which are not effected by this problem, like me and Lorenwade, we don't have that problem with the case on and I live in a low coverage area.
+1. I absolutely love the all yellow case. That one will be mine! An email address to communicate with you would be great, when you have time to do so. I understand how busy you must be trying to get the business off the ground.
Greatly appreciated! Glad to see at least one aluminum case manufacturer takes time out to communicate with the people that pay for their products and doesn't act like we annoy them, like other companies that I won't name.. (hint: it starts with E..ends with lement Case!).
You sir are the first person I have ever seen to GAIN signal by using a case! Not saying it's impossible but I have been in the business for almost 10 years and I have never seen anyone gain signal from a case, let alone a aluminum one! But if you did somehow, then congrats! All though all the pings make me wonder because that means the phone is struggling harder to get a signal(speediest pics).
Sounds great.
But, If Alumacase wants credibility, they will submit samples to GearDiary for review & testing.
Plain & simple.

they should send me a review for thorough testing...since elementcase cant even send me one I paid for hahahaha
If anyone deserves a case, it's you. I can't believe you've put up with Element as long as you have. Then again...I guess you have no choice, since they blow at communication/follow-through. I've followed your plight in the Vapor thread, even though I sold mine long ago. Jesus...you're a patient person!
and also are the screws unremovable, which means even when u undo them they are attached to the case because that would be a good added touch.
just to clarify, there would be two sizes for ea. color(s) : one for non-backing and one for backing ...?
I'm highly interested in getting one at a discounted rate without the packaging. Hopefully the website will be up soon, I've waited too long without a case. Too many promises with no delivery from other companies.
