Here's a mini review in case anybody's interested.
This is my first iPhone and I've had it for one week. Before the iPhone I had the iPod touch (last year's version) and I loved how thin and light it felt on my hand. I wanted to protect it so I went with the Griffin Reveal Case, which was as close as being naked. It was a minimalist case that didn't add any noticeable weight nor bulk to the iPod, but still offered enough protection.
So when I got my iPhone, I wanted to get something that would be as true to the iPhone's design, size and weight. I went with the Griffin Reveal Case for the iPhone 4s, which was the thinnest and lightest case available.
But even then, that case offered noticeable weight and bulkiness, although it did feel good in the hand while adding protection. I hated the size and weight it added, but I felt safe with the case on... but I still wasn't happy.
Before I bought my iPhone I did some research and came across this case in Larry's video review. It appeared to be what I wanted, a minimalistic clean and light case. A case that would be almost invisible to the naked eye and on one's hand, while still adding protection.
I came here and read some of the comments regarding the case, specially the antenna issues... but I still gave it a shot.
The case feels lighter and thinner than what people are describing. I can't even feel I have a case on, and it has a very minimalist look (I got the plain black one).
The fit is ridiculously tight, i have a skin on it and like Lindalou described, it caused the corners to bubble up. I had a hard time putting the bumper on due to the skin. If you have a screen protector on, it will be a tight fit.... but that's a GOOD thing.
It offers both front and back lip protection, so you can lay it on any flat surface and you'll be good. I feel that it's strong enough to withstand a fall on a concrete floor, which is why having a tight fit is a good thing. I'd be surprised if the bumper comes apart on a fall, so it will definitely protect it if it falls, either on the edge or face down.
Again.... this thing is unbelievably light!!!
And now to the big question: "Does it hurt reception"
I know this will be a debated point, and people's results will vary... but in my brief experiences, I haven't seen any signal loss.
I MUST remind you that I've only had the iPhone for a week, and within that week I've only gone to work and home. I only used to get 1 solid bar at home (Sprint network Los Angeles) and full bars at work and in the street. And I'm getting the same with the bumper. I don't have any call quality deterioration (as of yet.... *crosses fingers*) and data speeds seem to be the same. So in other words, no noticeable changes in reception/data performance.
My two cents are.... BUY IT!!! def worth the money.
It appears to offer solid protection
It is extremely light and thin
Looks aesthetically pleasing
No noticeable antenna performance deterioration (so far)
All I have is an old Macbook so the picture quality will completely suck. Either way, the pics won't do the case justice.
Order it ASAP.
