Here's a vid that shows the black/blue - my apologies for all the blah blah blah, but there's a few good shots. I like the blue a lot.

This case has OUTSTANDING signal reception. I attend a meeting every Tuesday night across town and I have had every case on in this room. They are all bad, and even a bare phone4 has just a bar or so. Internet is almost nonexistant. The hybrid case worked perfectly for over an hour, both internet, phone and GPS. I am very impressed with the case. This is the one to buy. And no, I don't work for anyone - I own them all. Now I know which ones are going to ebay though, - all of them except this one!

I feel the exact same way, I already sold my ar15. The only one I have left is the Raw which I will probably just put away. But this case is the only one I will be using from now on. Bad thing is I have two of them and its like trying to pick which of your kids you like the most. Tough choice.
keeping mine too. Got black/orange. I like it. Reception in my basement is same as without case so I know this case is working finally. After Vapor and Raw... this one is the one which is staying with me. I only wish there was NO that small gap on front left side between that Derlin part and my phone.. not a big deal though.
Still waiting - Order #2952 placed on 11/8.
My CC statement shows I was double charged - only got one confirmation (above) and now when I go to 'my' order history a second order exists that is processing.
I emailed them several times about the double ship and have not heard back from them. There is no FedEx tracking info either - My order shipped (according to their notification) on Nov. 11th - still no response and no case.
I don't get it - I have been cordial, professional and pretty clear in my concerns, but nothing...
Oh well.

Keep bugging them because something is up.
My order was #3043 placed on 11/11 and it arrives today according to FEDEX (day early I might add
)I broke down and ordered from them again (I had ordered the first version of their case that was pretty terrible). After hearing reviews here it seemed like it could be a winner so I tried yesterday.
The site says I ordered but haven't paid. Paypal processed ok and charged my card. They even sent me a receipt. I forwarded the receipt with the ordering info in it to their e-mail. Previous dealings with them have actually been pretty good. They were quick before in giving me a refund and communication I thought was quite good.
I'm going to give them a couple days to process it but if the order status doesn't change or I don't here from them then I will take action through Paypal. Shouldn't have to do that.

At least for me their timeline has been spot on so far. 2-3 days handling time and the item shipped, delivery date this Friday. Haven't had to deal with their customer service department but that's good for them since it means I have no complaints. We'll see about the case itself once I get to try it out

Could you post some pics of the orange? I would love to see what it really looks like because on the website it id a dark/burnt orange and I would say it is a lighter orange in person but idk.
Its Here
My new Atomic Hybrid. Ill post more about it after Ive used it for a few days...fit and finish..perfect, the anodizing is top notch and no flash whatsoever. If you cant decide on a case, let me help you..NO SIGNAL LOSS!
The color is gunmetal/black for those interested. Nothing to say really. GPS, wifi, signal, everything works perfectly. The gunmetal is beautiful in the sun. I did notice the small gap on the composite side, but I can live with it..cant see any daylight through it so whatever. It wont fit in an apple dock, thats the only drawback...speaking of that..anyone know where I can get a cable of good quality with a female-->male end? Im looking for something nice, no junk. Anyway, the case is perfect, and the delrin is amazingly smooth and tough.

when you get yours can you show us pics? interested in the white/red also. but im stuck between that or the black/blue
Please post some pics of the black/orange ...... I would like to order this combo. Thank you.
White & Red
Sadly the mailman didn't leave my white iPhone so I stuck my case on Mrs Rooskibars phone for the photos.
I love it! I put in on the phone downstairs at my work station and unlike, Vapor, Raw, and Alumacase I can still make a call. Bars drop to only one, but the calls go out and come in. Its a winner in my book.
The Red is really striking. Its got a wonderful finish on it and really is brighter then I expected. I'm mixed with my feelings on the white. Its nice, but really has the look of Plastic where the Black comes across as metal.
I'll probably order a second one in Black and another color end cap to mix and match with.
Overall, really pleased.

The bars dropped to 1? How many bars did you have before it dropped to 1?
2. Maybe 3.
My home sits in a valley of sort so signal is pretty weak. Its also a 3 store home with a walkout basement. So my work area is downstairs at the lowest part of the house in the lowest part of the neighborhood.
It's the perfect litmus test for cases. The Bumper and naked phone will still show low signal, but will connect to a call. This is the first of the "designer" bumpers that doesn't kill the signal.
I know if I can make a call here, most of the places I go during my daily life will be okay as well.
I was about to say, man I didn't loose anything. I actually gained, don't know how, should be impossible but it happens every single time I field test my phone is shows a better signal. Its strange as hell. But I like the white case but I am using my black one. They both look good but I am a black kind of guy. But my white and lime is pretty slick. I think when you put that on a white phone it will be sick as hell. I can't wait to see those photos.
the white looks kinda weird. i might go with the black/blue. i wanna see more pics. the white looks plastic-y like you said, but still looks good.
Yes it sits flush so you can't accidentally turn your phone on in your pocket.
