I have the hybrid and I have not noticed any signal loss (unlike with the Cleave/Draco that completely killed my signal). Durability does not seem to be a problem. After 3+ weeks of use, it still looks brand-new. And I get lots of positive comments on it. I'm quite pleased with mine.

I got the case with both an aluminum and hybrid back on AT&T 4S- it looks good and feels great, unfrotunatly i had to send it back because it cut a bar of reception. i do live in a bad reception area and my phone couldn't make reliable calls. other than the reception issue it was a good case.

Thank you for the quick response. I show it to my wife and she likes it but once she saw the price she said " Hell No" too much moneyI think some woman are cheap when it comes to buying phone accessories but not for shoes and purses. Is this care also fit the 4's ? don't know if I will get her the new 4's white or black. Currently she has the black iPhone 4 and don't want to make douple expense for premium case.
I've just received my Blue/Black Hybrid model
Cool, post some photos! I am getting mine today (same colors) but I have to wait until I get home from work.

Nice photos. Is that a regular dock? reason I ask because I couldn't dock in my Iphone 4 with apple bumper.
Just got mine. Here are some photos. More later...
EDIT: I got the hybrid plastic back material.

I got it from Etsy. It's a little reusable vinyl sticker. I paid $4 for 2 of them.
I used to have it under a transparent case and it worked pretty well there, now it's just stuck on the back of my phone (on top of a back screen protector) and it'll probably fall off soon but that's okay.

Okay......is that matte finish? I guess once you get bored you can either change the top or bottom. It can get pricey if you start collecting all the colors. Hahahaha
I was just driving with mine and I realized I can't plug my USB charger in with this case on. Maybe it was a weird size but it didn't look very big.
Has anybody had a problem plugging in cables with this case or is it just my cable? Despite that problem it docks jus fine.

It definitely works best with the OEM Apple cable. Although, I have a Griffin, and I just filed the edges to get it to work. Sad but true.
This might be a solution for you: http://www.google.com/search?client....,cf.osb&fp=f9dc7d9405fe1803&biw=1440&bih=764
Hmm that was an OEM apple able but possibly an older one. I just got home and tried a different cable (the one that came with the 4S) and it works fine, so that's a relief.

Yep, Matte. Haha yeah it can get pricy. The only change I might make is I might get the aluminum back some day, although I am pretty happy with the plastic material, but it might be nice just to be different.
