I've emailed them 4 times. Twice on their site contact page, and twice personally. No response. Terrible service and no sale for me, friends and acquaintances. Never do business with a company that cannot even respond to a simple request via email. Hopefully another company will have a similar product that has zero effect on GPS and Calls.

Theres one called xcel or somethin that apparently has no effect on gps and calls. However looks hideous in my opinion, the derlin definitely looks best atm for a bumper style with aluminum that doesn't effect fone usage. Hopefully duplicates on ebay will start turning up soon, tho i highly doubt it cuz derlin seems to be a pretty pricy material.
 
edit - so what's everyone's take on the cases now after having them for nearly a month? Any updated opinions and such?

Still think the cases are awesome! So much so that I now have three different sets/colors. Also ordered three sets to be sent to friends. (with a small window of time to get there) and Unni was very very quick and responsive to all of my emails and the cases were sent without a hitch. Superb cases and customer service .. kudos to Atomic!

I think Vapor is coming out with a hybrid type. Shown at CES post here somewhere. If it resolves the signal issues, I'm getting it. I'm waiting for those models to be reviewed and hopefully their c/s is better and responsive with questions. :)
 
i ordered one without even reading this thread. then after i ordered and read this thread, i got a bit scared about the delays and bad costumer services that some guys here were complaining.

well i put my order and paid on the 6th of january. and to my surprise, according to my tracking number the item has left the US on the 9th!

well, its a different experience for me i guess. they didn't reply to my email but they shipped my order really fast.

over all i can say that their costumer service is not bad at all.

just my 2 cents.

Are you for real?
Where did u get this?

Because it'd really suck if you put up something like that and nothing happens...

I'm holding out on the Atomic Hybrid Composite after reading your post.
 
Atomic Hybrid Composite Case IP4

Well, to be honest I am not real sure what you mean. It does not have sharper edges and the finish it great. It is very shinny but I am not sure if it is cleared, but I don't think so but its not just raw material either. When I put it next to my green cap they look identical finish wise. I don't really know if that answered your question or not but it really does look great, the anodizing is really good on it and to be honest, it ended up being my favorite. I will try to get a close up pic for you later but if your looking for shine, that is the cap you want for sure.

Out of curiosity, why would this make you hold out? The cases are almost identical, but you don't need to wait 6 months for a preorder code from atomic...
 
also don't expect a refund if you're planning a return. these guys state satisfaction gaurenteed, well i'm here unsatisfied that the majority of my charging cables are now useless. for example, docks don't work and most especially my connector in my car that's hooked up to my navi which display my iPhone is unusable. don't get me wrong, the case is sweet, but its pretty tedious when i have to unscrew/screw the case everytime i need to charge/play music in my car or if i have to access the sim card to activate my other idevices. in the end, this case is not for me. i emailed them and they came back stating "You can get an adapter. There are a few good ones on the market." so im expected to purchase something which they don't offer and i can't find. no thanks, on to the next one. so if anyone is interested in black/gunmetal hit me up and ill assure you i can ship/respond faster than these can.
 
Thanks for the updated impressions guys. I think I'll grab a Hybrid over the vapors and knockoffs.

edit - Nemo, I tried to send you a PM, wouldn't go through since you don't have it enabled afaik.

Because I love the looks of the Vapor more so than the Atomic.
Especially the part where the headphone jack is. The one in atomic looks too simplistic wherelse the vapor one looks stylish...

when you realize that you have no signal and can't use the gps, the prettiness will wear off.
 
WOW!!!! I sent an email last week to order a couple extra caps and they just arrived. I got the Red and Purple. They are so sweet. I am sporting the purple right now it looks and fits wonderful!!! I can't wait to show it off tomorrow:)

I have once again been SUPER amazed by Unni and the entire Atomic Team!!!!
Thank you for such a great product that performs as good as it looks. After the dozens of cases I've tried I know the Hybrid is my last. And if you feel like a change all you do is switch your cap. How cool is that:)
 
I ordered a case about a week and a half ago and my order still says processing. =/

Not sure if its due to the color combo I ordered or what not.

anyone else order recently?
 
i placed my order on Jan. 6 and i got the case yesterday Jan. 12.

i live in Thailand.

not bad at all! i'm surprised!

i will order again definitely.

but guess what? in the website my status is still: PROCESSING!

lol!
 
Does anyone know if a FiiO E1 amp's extra wide dock connector will fit through the slot on this case?
 
A few pics...

Every once in a while, a company exceeds my expectations on all fronts. Atomic is one of those companies. In return, I decided to snap and share a few pics of my Hybrid!

Wondering how much space is under the volume buttons. The Verizon version is a few millimeters lower, is there enough room? I know that no one has seen the new Verizon iPhone I am just asking how much space is there.
Thanks.
