they tweeted that the launch date would be pushed back a few days because of issues in production or something like that.

the website now says the pre orders are fully allocated. I registered on the first day and received no email.

Has anyone here actually been able to order at the pre order price? I smell a rat here!:eek:

Yet another aluminum antennae wrap for the iPhone 4 ... but this one will be different. :rolleyes:

In my humble opinion, yes, this one will be different. The sides are almost completely open and metal can not touch the antenna. The case is padded where it touches the glass.

The joining of the parts will not be as much a problem because they join at the sides and bad alignment will not be as obvious.

The depth of the connector ports isn't as much a problem because thickness for screws isn't as much an issue (screws are located at the corners, not along sides or at top and bottom).

The finish from all pictures seems uniformly brushed, no problem with matching parts viewed from the front.

So yes I believe all metal case issues will be improved or will not be an issue.
 
this case and the Karas Customs case resolve all metal case issues. I realize the look of the Karas case is an acquired taste.

Have to pardon my skepticism, but I'll believe it when I see it :)
 
I'll be the blue one in the corner holding my breath.

I think I'm addicted to cases. I don't really care for the look of this one, yet I got my slot in the pre-order queue and want to order one just to add to my collection of cases.

On the flip side you never know when a profit is to be made from ebay. (like the vapor)

My addiction to cases was resolved by buying a Samsung 55" 3D TV. I suddenly feel poor. So now I'm a metal case observer for the drama.
 
Really looking forward to this case. It's all speculation on my part but I think this design is smart. I don't know if I like the look as much as the Vapor but we will soon see. These guys get points with me just for not rushing a case to market.

Haha, yeah right, just another way to hype up the demand (if you fall for it you are a fool), how many people really care for another aluminum case after all the other case's debacles - I can't believe people on this board are still "addicted" to metal cases that COVERS the antenna (opened or closed).

I've read somewhere on the board where someone asked, "What needs more protection? What's easier to break? Glass or the Stainless Steel Band" I agree and asks: What is the point? Metal on metal? Aluminum is softer than steel, if you drop it i'll ding like no other or transfer the energy to the phone and shatter the glass. If you just want to stand out, then a sticker (those fugly printed ones you see everywhere) will do just as much a job, and without yelling out "I'm a wanker" :rolleyes: Sorry, it just don't make any sense… well the drama is the only fun part :D

How is the Samsung? Is it affecting your phones reception and how does it attach to the Phone?

I love Samsung:D

It sticks in my pocket. The finish is good. I broke my phone trying to put it on.:D

Seriously it has one dead pixel so Best Buy it's coming back.:mad:
 
I would not touch it with your money until it's submitted to GearDiary/Larry Greenberg for thorough, unbiased testing.

i liked the look of the cases until i got my Vapor. I guess the thing that is most appealing to me about the vapor is the fact that it does not overlap the screen at all. I hate the cases that overlap because it makes it difficult to move icons from page to page sometimes.

Just my opinion.

And yes, the vapor degrades my signal, but after a week of using it, I only dropped 1 call, and it was in an area with extremely poor coverage anyway.

the vapor is really cool but im still waiting on a pre order code I may get this one or the new hybrid material atomic case.
 
this case and the Karas Customs case resolve all metal case issues. I realize the look of the Karas case is an acquired taste.

The Karas case degrades GPS signal here, so it's a no go with the rest of the metal wrap cases. On top of that, it's bulky in a pocket. LTD Tools was better. Good luck with this FusionCopy ... here's hoping their customer service is good.
 
Got my email to order this afternoon. Despite saying I would wait for reviews, I just couldn't help myself and went ahead and placed the order. Hopefully will arrive by the end of the week.
