The CF backing is sold separately. I also have the true carbon on mine - I have to admit, I prefer the older style where you could actually "feel" the carbon fiber threads as opposed to the glossy true fiber - but the glossy is definitely a touch thicker and makes the phone at least FEEL more protected.

Didn't personally like the true carbon one for 2 main reasons -
1) gets scrathed way too easily compared to the faux version

2) the apple cut out is quite sharp due to the thickness and stiffness of the true carbon fibre material

my 2¢.

Can anybody recommend a dock extender known to work with the Atomic Hybrid?

This one looks cool and works.

They dont make silver and blue. Do do you mean silver with black rail and blue with black rail. This is off their site.

Here's some black/blue and the new silver carbon fiber - pretty sexy. Hybrids are now apparently lighter as well - now only 12 grams. More pics on their facebook too.

I am digging this setup. Its not on their website? The only thing is I am on the go daily and don't want to keep taking the case off if i'm in a low frequency area. But if it performs as well as they say, I'm in.
 
I just ordered and received the new Atomic Hybrid-C (I guess that's what they are calling it now) silver frame/gunmetal cap. I've had the Black frame/brushed cap for months, but just couldn't resist the silver frame. They were having a 20% off promo as well.

It looks super slick. If anyone is interested in real world pictures, I'll be happy to post. Here's what the silver/brushed looks like from their site:

I got my Atomic CR24 bundle goodies finally in the mailbox today. Mind you before I had 2 vapors and wind up selling them due to signal loss and navigation problems. I put this on and there is no effects on signal which is great. I will test navigation later. The case fits a bit too tight on the phone i hope its ok in protecting. My goods on this case is as follow:

Excellent looks. No gaps in carbon backplate to edge surface. Free Dock extender and head phone adapter and carbon fiber back plate. Over all value $84.99 which is damn good value. Light weight, great feel. Best of best - my phone performs same as with no case on. Bought matt black extra side piece for $24.00. The bads: The on off button is flat with surface. One thing i like about vapor is that button was raise above a little bit easier to press. Took 2 weeks back order to get the additional item dock extender but eventually everything ship together. Customer service not fast in emailing back. This is not an all aluminum case but it look like one. it is pretty solid once you put it on the phone. it looks fabulous. I am happy and good to go until iPhone 5.

Still my main case after 5 months...holding up perfect, no signal loss on any function...after 2 element vapors killing my signal, this is the case to buy. I run with a chrome cap that gets lots of comments...
 
Has anyone had any dealings with the UK side of the store ?? I've sent my case back as the white part was flaking to get a replacement under warranty, but it's all gone quiet . . .

I did not test navigation before. But it is immediate. follows exact. also bars are unchange after case on. no time to post video but trust me this case works all aspects. dock extend came in handy with my cheap gas station car charger.
 
I am tired of Atomic and the horrible customer service they have. I don't know why anyone left would due business with them.
 
No, just after having to send several back because of fit issues I finally just kept the ones I had. They are all pretty bad!! I would stay away from this company.
nope she bought four coz she is an element shill lmao, check her crazy outbursts on the element thread, hilarious.
 
Got my gray bat phone in the mail to me from my butler alfred. :D loving it.. The gunmetal has a tint of purple in the light. got the wall paper off another fellow in the forum.

On their Facebook page they have a coupon for FBCR24 but when I try and use it it doesn't work. Anyone know why?
 
x2 here - banging around in same pocket w/ keys and not a scratch after 10 days...

Hi Glen, mnaybe you can help me. I ordered an Atomic composite case a while back and still have not received it. I am very anxious. I ordered the white and blue composite case.
Hence I have heard some say that the white part will peel off, some say it chips off, some say it stays nice.

What color was yours? Have you heard of anyone having issues with a white one?

Thanks for your help. I did a lot of research in order to find a bulletin with this topic. I finally found it. Glad you are there...
Life is expensinve and I don't want to start spending $80.00 everytime to try a product that is safe..

Please come back to me.

Thank you.
