I hear ya. It's a killer case.
Here's what I found yesterday on Tekcases site, yet it sounds like you already pulled the trigger! I'm in LA, so I'd probably go with Draco's site, or IGearUSA.

I wish I would receive this information before hand. Just finished speaking with Mike from tekcases and they have them available. Now I wonder how easy to cancel my prior order.
I'm thinking of ordering this tomorrow from Tekcase.
Does anyone know how well this works with a protection skin around the aluminum antenna band?
Also, can you lay this down on a flat surface without it touching the front/back?

A long time lurker and my 1st post here. I see that some people said some retailers sell knockoffs of this model and I was wondering if igearusa.com is an authorized dealer of Draco Design Inc? This retailer got some mixed reviews on the web which makes me a little reluctant. I've contacted Draco Design directly but haven't received a response yet. If anyone purchased this bumper from igearusa.com and can share some feedback that would be great.

Yes, they (igearusa.com) are listed as an authorized retailer right on the Draco website.

Thanks!
Does anyone know where igear is located at? There doesn't seem to be info on there whereabouts on the site.
Hey eg2007 thank you for the information, I ended up picking up the Draco IV case from Tekcases. My co-worker live about 15 minutes away so he pick it for me.
Now I sent a email yesterday to igearusa.com to cancel my order but I've a bad feeling they're shipping me the one I ordered. I'll just return back or give it to my wife. Now my only concern is if this case will fit a white 4's which I'm planning on getting this month. I hope so. I'll post photos later.Thx for clarifications. I ended up ordering 2, one black & one red from tekcases.com, one for my old gsm 4 and the other for 4s. Amazon reviews say this bumper has some durability and quality issues after several weeks of use. But obviously mine will be arriving new hence will not be able to comment on that for the time being.
Will post some pics for those of you on the fence once arrived.

(((Update)))
Just installed the case and I'm very impressive the design of this case, it's one of a kind...having said that it was a PITA installing this case,I see why this case was design with sim port opening. I had to put preasure on the case to put the little screws on. Is this normal? Also I see a tiny gap all around. Overall I like the weight in put on the iPhone. I hate light cellphones. I did place a small scotch tape ontop of the power button to avoid scratches. This case has no drop protection but I'd be curious to see if phone gets drop in concrete the finish of the case will hold up or scratch. I might buy the royal blue as well.
Oh! almost forgot, I've all my bars showing for reception!

Let me take some pictures and loaded up. I will tested on my daughter white iPhone 4
Can anyone post up a straight eagle eye view? Everyone has slanted pictures but never a straight eagle eye view of what it looks like if you were staring right at it.
Thanks! Really tempting to buy this but the price tag is biting my butt.

I just order a blue Draco IV from IGEARUSA with 20% off using coupon code IGEAR2011
Thanks! Just ordered the white.
I just noticed this case totally kills of my GPS signal, which is a let down
Yep. Makes you wonder why some of the "reviews" don't post field test mode signal stength db levels comparison photos with the case on & off?

Wow, thanks for the code! Makes it $56. Do you know when it expires?
So can anyone post eagle eye view of the case please?
How does the reception hold up with the case on?

I have read mix reviews about loss signal, but most say that they didn't notice any loss of bars and those that check the dB level says that you lose about 5-6 dB's which is nothing compared to other aluminum cases, and I think that the ones loosing considerable amounts of signal are buying the knock off version, but I will know for sure in a couple of days.
can someone clarify on the fits for the IPhone 4s.... it states that the Draco IV fits iphone 4 and 4s on att verizon and sprint.... but the iphone 4 for att is slightly different than the verizon one so I'm confused how this is possible? It doesn't ask you to specify which phone you have at checkout.
Darn...I only got 10% off from tekcases.com. Pics are inbound as soon as they arrive.
^ I talked to tekcases in regards to the claimed compatibility w/ 4s and 4 at the same time and apparently the mute switch has enough tolerance to accommodate both variants - 4s and gsm 4. So good news for those who had doubts whether it will fit 4s or not. I ordered 2, one to fit my old 4 and another for my new 4s, so the only thing left to do is to ascertain their claim. I don't expect problems to arise in that part.
As some people have reported loss of strength of signal, I fully intend to keep my zagg max IS on and try to insulate the bumper from the coated band. I read somewhere that it's a tight fit hence aftermarket coating around the band may not work, but will see how goes.
