Rather odd that a company that makes fishing reels would start making iPhone cases. Not too bad looking and cheaper than most the other ones.
 
Wow, that looks awesome. Even better than the Vapor, IMO and I like the fact that they went with the case split front to back instead of on one side. I still have to wonder about signal attenuation though.
 
Well, went to their site - it seems that they manufacture fishing parts:

I'm going to try to send them an email and see if i can convince them to ship a demo model (highly unlikely since it'd be coming from overseas) so I can do a vid review. I actually REALLY like the look, but would be willing to bet it degrades signal in much the same way the alumacase does.
 
Nice new aluminum case. Not bad but I can't get over the ElementCase Vapor 4, call me crazy but that's my taste :)
 
I like this case a lot. OMG here I go again. The finish and machining looks way more precise and clean, even more than the Element Vapor. its not as simple but I like the look of complexity.
 
Here we go again.

I finally pulled the trigger on the hybrid Atomic, and now this come along. I still have the alumacase on my phone, and I definitely like the look of this one as well. I'm just not sure how much $$ I want to sink into these cases, especially with a new phone, and a possible new design, looming around the corner.

I would be interested in a review though.

haven't everyone learned by now : if it's alum surrounding the phone it's gonna screw around with the signal....unless you don't care about your signal !?
 
I watched the video linked above and while it is someone speaking Chinese (I think) the whole time I think and never does much other than showing the case at all angles (I was hoping they would take it off at some point) and the guy does hold up a 3G or 3GS beside it and they have the same number of bars, FWIW (not much, I know). Would have been nice to see numerical signal and a test on teh same phone with it on and off, but at least it did not seem to block all signal entirely.
 
Wow, this case really isn't all that bad, looks nice. Any idea where to get it and if its available to buy yet?

I already emailed him, I'll let you know if I get a reply. I really like this case, the black with the blue would look sweet.
 
Can't really tell in the pictures but let's hope that the round power button has padding so it doesn't stamp an impression onto the iphone button. Other than that observation, the case looks pretty good. I'll take gunmetal with black.
