And here I was thinking the traditional Christmas colors were red and green...
But yes, that "Christmas" one is quite hideous

I got my Blade today. Did all the test, no signal or wifi issues.
The case looks great! Very Clean and detailed craftsmanship.
But like all the others say here, it's a bit sharp on the back corners. But it's okay with me.
The gps is a mess! lol! I don't use it that much anyways.
Bottom line, I'm in love with this case!
Monday will be the E13ctron day! Let's see if this will be as good at the blade!
Very excited now!

sorry to hear that. Jun from Tiger Design is a great guy to deal with. try to contact him and ask him about it. did you ship it by Express? do you have a Tracking Number? i don't buy online without a Tracking Number, it keeps me relax to know where my item is everyday until i get it.
mine took only 4 days to arrive.
Agreed, express is fast efficient and safe. Lucky you man, did you ordered from their website or ebay? T.D seems don't ship international, also didn't respond my email, but I ordered from a Koeran procurement agency on Nov.25th, still haven't got it. Consequence of trusting wrong people
he's a busy guy i guess. i keep on sending him messages until my item was shipped.
just tell him that you still haven't receive your case. and if he don't reply or do something about it, you will be force to open a case on ebay and paypal. and you will give him a negative feedback. i'm sure he will reply after this.
my tracking number says this

I send another mail and nothing i will do some break after monday is not respong i open a case in paypall how i open one i never have this problem and i buy stuff from korea and arrieved that to rare damm
I'm sure there are other folks in the same boat as I am...
I just registered to say I heard about the Blade thanks to this site and ordered one via eBay on 11/26.
It showed up at my door yesterday. YESTERDAY.
So they are out there and making their way to people.
My initial impressions, in case anyone cares, are as follows:
First impressions: the packaging is wonderful the case appears to float in the package in a way that's really well done. I usually don't comment on packaging (b/c who cares, right?) but I thought that was a neat touch.
I ran a Fieldtest right before and right after putting the case on. I didn't see a difference, but saw some issues using the Compass. Could be the case, could be that I live in a very small dead zone. Pandora took two attempts to fire up but once it did it was good. So as far as signal issues go, the installed foamy pads seem to work well. They include a new set the user can install later on down the road if wanted or needed.
The buttons install with a tiny bit of play but that's kinda expected. A flush sleep/power button (as seen in some other metal bumper cases) would have been a nice touch.
The trim piece that secures the phone in the bumper (the red bit on mine) has a bit of play on the side with the volume. Not enough to see, but enough to feel as the tiny lip slips over the edge of the phone and back.
The silence switch hole is plenty big enough.
The buttons are nice and responsive.
The headphone jack is only compatible with the small style connectors. I had to get an adapter for my car lead and I have to switch to my Apple earbuds (ugh) since my favorite JVC Marshmallow buds don't fit.
I got this for my sister but I think there's a good chance it will stay with me. I *really* like it.
Pics tomorrow.

i've been using this case for few days now. i can truly say now that it doesn't affect my signal at all.
my only gripes are, sometimes its not comfortable with the hand because of the sharp back screw corners. but its tolerable. and i'm telling you guys, this case really attracts attention! it's gorgeous!
i have a Papago Thailand, and it locks in, but it sometimes messes the gps and can't follow me when i'm driving. strange thing is, with the iphone maps, the gps locks in as fast as without the case. is it the Papago that is slow? or the case hinders the signal of Papago? i don't know. anyways, i will do a comparison when my e13ctron case comes tomorrow.

and with my E13ctron:
I've been following aluminum cases since the Element Vapor was only a rendering. I own a silver/silver Element Vapor and a Karas Custom silver. This case to me, after looking at all the others in pictures for months, is hands down the best looking, most interesting, best machined case available.
I've ordered a silver/silver a week ago. Its been shipped. I can't wait.
