I think the case is awesome and unique. Nothing else looks like it on the market. I am getting one when he lets us order them Friday or Saturday. I confirmed with him today that I was on the list and he said I was in the first pre-order group so I should have it next week he said.

We're all be keeping an eye on our e-mail inbox for sure. The open sides are a big plus, should be a great case in weak signal areas.

i like the fusion best, the quality of the alumacase i can see in every picture the bottom part is installed a little crooked, i know it cant be perfect but its there. So im going with the fusion. hope they have some PVD black
 
Is there any word on the colors that will be available ?

I'm on the preorder list as well
 
The fusion Raw and Raw 0 are silver. The other fusion case named Saber comes in different colours and is a different design. The Sabre will not be for sale yet as they are still working on design and finish. IMO the Raw is a much nicer looking case than the Saber.
 
I was told today that the raw would also be offered in black as well.

Open back looks incredible. Price is right too. I'm looking at Polished or Brushed. It was mentioned on twitter they shaved it down and it's now slimmer and lighter.

I'm also on the preorder list. This case looks great. I also like the modular aspect of the RAW. The back panel is going to be an optional addon so you can covert from covered to open and back. I just hope the addon is not too pricey.

Sweeeeeeeeeet! Black will look great! I think I read that they are offering 3 different types of finishes. This design and look show a lot of promise. I pre-ordererd a month ago and I will order 1 at least. You cant have too many cases.
 
fusionwerkz@ajresendeza you were after black/orange or black/red right? I should have a red sample and black this week, yes you can wait and pay pre-o

Here is what he told me when I asked him about colors. I may go ahead and order when they become available though. as much as a red one would be cool to have.
 
i think it looks too square.


Who asked you?:D Just messing with ya. It does look square to me as well, but for whatever reason, I still like the design. I'll definitely order when I can since I was in the first pre order group.
 
Noticed that pre-order deal ends on 10/16. Hope that means that will be the first batch ship date. I'd like to see pics of all 3 finishes to compare though.
 
The following four post via twitter were posted yesterday by fusionwerkz.

4 - fusionwerkz - I do expect three test anodized colors back tomorrow, these were shipped in advance. Pink, blue and gray. I'll post pictures for a vote.

3 - fusionwerkz - Expect order info to be sent from the 16th onwards...these odd day delays really add up to frustration, but were near the end now.

2 - fusionwerkz - raw is delayed at anodizer and hasn't shipped to warehouse for packing, expect it here either weekend or early next week.

1 - fusionwerkz - sabre pre-production has restarted with a modified bumper design, will update more next week.
 
I'm very eager to see what they end up with on the sabre. It has a more "Vapor" look, but with an "alumacase" style to how it attaches. VERY interested to see how this all shakes out.
 
Yeah it's looking good. I don't know if mixing and matching would look though.......maybe

Hope these guys get their time frame straight and get themselves rolling.

Colors look awesome, im sold on these. The childs play over at Alumacrap is not gonna end well.

i preordered on the first pre order day for the raw but have decided against it. If they issue pre order codes that can be used, I'll give mine to the first person that asks for it.
 
Well its up to the Raw to deliver. Nobody else could so hopefully this case wont be a let down too but I have a feeling this one will actually work. I just wish we could order already.
 
i feel like a matte black version of this would be SWEET if it's trimmed down as much as possible

i noticed on the pictures, thought, that there are no cushions or anything on the corners of the case. What gives?
 
I don't really think it looks that good to be honest. open sides are nice, still probably won't fix the reception problem (maybe slightly)
 
I bet your wrong! Its lined with felt and the rest of the case does not touch any part of the antenna and yes the corners are cushioned from what he told me. So I have a good feeling about this case. In a week or so I guess we will see.

lol, just because it doesn't physically touch the antenna isn't going to make everything all better. It might be slightly better, but the metal surrounding the antenna is still not good for cellphone signal

I noticed the felt on the back, but in the pictures there are no cushions, absorbent material, or anything on the corners for insulation. Maybe they should update their pictures?
