Case-mate JETT pictures and initial impressions

You have more patience than I do. I stop messing with this case after the second time. Returned it and got my cash back. The first case I had broke at the plastic joints and the second case had tons of sharp ridges and defects along the inside border.

I was going to wait until I could get a unit sent to me for testing but really wanted it early so I bought it outright. Still my favorite overall looking aluminum case since it looks like it is part of the phone. Too bad on Case-mate has had so many problems with this case. QC appears to be hit or miss.

Yes, their CS is top notch. Returns and exchanges are a breeze.

The only reason I have the patience is because their CS is so good. They send me replacements without waiting for my return and respond to my emails very very quickly. On the other hand, I'm going through such absolute hell with HP at the moment on an Envy laptop that Case-Mate's CS could tell me to suck it and I would still be thrilled.
 
I tried to get a good shot of the difference on each side. You can see it better here. But its barely there to the point that you can't feel it at all when you run your fingers across it. All in all case is sweet!

......is that the grey gun metal version you have there?! The reason I ask is that if it is the grey version, your volume buttons & mute switch look almost silver when compared to the rest of the case. My grey/gun metal case has the volume & mute switch pretty much the exact same colour as the rest of the case - weird?!?!?

Anyway - I used the code posted earlier to get 20% off the black version, which looks awsome!

This is my iPhone 4 number 1 case of all time :D
 
WOW! This case look amazing. But how can I buy 1 or 2 pieces in switzerland! They don`t ship international! The EU Site from case-mate does not have the JETT!

I think it all depends on the lighting when taking the pics. I didn't get a chance till I got home, so I used the kitchen lights that are halogen spot lights. I bet if I took a shot during the day, it would look different again. :)

But perhaps your right. I looked closer this morning and they do look silver.

Like these?

Yes, but those seem to have the same issue as the CableJive - the plastic housing around the dock connector doesn't fit in the opening of the Jett case. Only newer apple charging cables seem to work, so far in my testing.

I'm hoping to continue to use my Dension IceLink and Bose Sounddock...so I need slim cable extenders or adapters.

Figured someone here might have found one that actually fits.
 
I ordered one today! i really like the grey version. But I have to pay 33$ shipping cost to switzerland... I hope the case is worth it!

I think you'll love it. It's not bulky at all. More like the Apple bumpers but feels much more sturdier and sexy! Just be careful with the install. It's not that simple as the video and don't force anything down. It should drop in smoothly.
 
That black looks amazing,
I have had no signal issues whatsoever since using the case and I am still using my superglued one :D
Anyone in the UK that wants to buy a brand-new grey send me a PM

The gray case that I recently received has silver buttons. I loaded pictures on this thread. Take a look.

...its weird that the grey case seems to either be shipped with silver buttons or grey buttons - mine definately came with a grey set! And by that I mean, the buttons are the exact same colour as the rest of the case....:confused:

Anyway, now I have my black on order (should arrive in about 3 weeks as I didn't opt for the fast delivery option which was $33 just for that and is only 1 week quicker anyway:eek:), hopefully will get a nice set of silver buttons.....:D

.....gotto say - that looks stunning :cool:

I currently have the grey/gun metal colour but have ordered the black one - have a carbon back on my iPhone 4 so that combined with the black jett should look equally stunning........:cool:

I also have the black Jett with carbon fiber back and it looks amazing. Not just the looks but the feel in the hand is really nice. You feel like your holding something of high quality not just some plastic or TPU case. The Iphone 4 deserves this case. Im going to try out that black leather skin next, looks sharp.
 
Just emailed Case-Mate. I'm going to see if they will send me the new silver buttons for my case.
