The Diamondbach 4.15.2011
I use Otterbox but I know someone with an Atomic Hybrid Composite case saw it for first time the other day its very light weight and durable.
Anyways I went to the website http://www.atomiciphonecase.com
Looks like they are coming out with an even better model in 2 days called "The Diamondbach". Im going to hold out and see how this looks there isnt much info on it yet but if you go to that website its the 3rd flash picture on the screen.
The picture is just a sketch of it. I want to see actuall pics and a review first before I buy if its like the hybrid but better I will be looking forward to something new my otterbox is just to bulky for iPhone 4.

Diamondback isnt "better" per se, it's a totally different case from the hybrid as it's a full coverage style case, as opposed to the bumper style...
Looks pretty nice though!
The Diamondbach is $200 think I will spend that money on something else LOL. I could see maybe $125 for a full chrome version but chrome is not even a option.
Also I guess they dont make a full chrome Atomic bumper either seems like I saw a pic of one at the site but its not an option for purchase only that trim piece oh well.

Problems with Atomic Diamondback Satin Silver order
Hey guys, If any of you is contemplating ordering this product from Atomic, you should be aware of the problems I've had so far. I ordered one of these on April 30th and was told that it would be sent to me by May 13th. Nothing! So I sent two emails to Atomic before I got a reply from customer service telling me that the company was at the mercy of the anodizers and that my case would be sent out by the end of the following week. And again, NOTHING! And not a peep from the company at this point about this latest delay. With shipping and handling, I paid $209.95 for this case and was hoping I'd have it by now to see how well it worked and review it for others who might be interested in purchasing it. The company adamantly claims the case WILL NOT interfere with the phone's signal, but I can't confirm this until I actually get it. I'm pretty certain my case won't be shipped this week either. In fact, I'm beginning to wonder just how long it will take to get it, or if I will? Fortunately, I made the purchase through PayPal and can file a claim if I never receive the product. At the time of this posting it will have been almost a full month since I placed my order and despite delivery promises at least twice, I've not received the case and no word from the company as to when it will ship. If and when it finally does arrive, I will post a review of the case here and let you know whether I think it is worth the expense and/or the wait! In the meantime, consider yourselves warned!
