Graft leverage case - I want I want I want... (Update: I got).

Case for Case

I have a question out of topic.
I thought to start another thread, but people not familiar with Graft case will not be able to answer.
I have Black Graft case and usually carry it in my pocket.
The work I do require a lot of bending and work under Big Semiconductor Mashines.
I used to carry my 3GS phone on the belt and looking for a leather case that I can insert Graft case in during my work
(preferably with Magnet latch),something like that:
http://www.amazon.com/Vertical-Carb.../ref=sr_1_131?ie=UTF8&qid=1320642583&sr=8-131

I am not sure which one to choose as no cases have internal size specified.
If anybody use it with such case or have an idea, please share.
Thank you.

@ CounterCulture that looks great! Can't wait to get my metal backplate in..

My black/matte Leverage has chipping/stripping on all of the outside edges. Pretty disappointing.

Was expected since it is made of the same material, just different dye. I am glad I returned my white/matte case for a refund instead of exchanging it for the black one..

My black/matte has not shown any wear, still looks new in terms of fit/finish... hopefully it stays that way

Sucks to hear that yours has started to show this kind of wear/tear already though

what is your respective usages and care? that is, do you baby your phones, lay on hard surfaces often, hold your phones in your pocket with loose change...?

i'm wondering if, like what Graft is claiming with their white cases, these are only isolated issued that affect only a certain batch of the product

Received my case on the 25th and have had it on since. Typically carried around in a sweatshirt or jacket pocket, or trouser pocket when I'm working. I have dropped it once (only about 3 feet and onto a linoleum floor). Typically set it on softer surfaces but do set it on hard (smooth) surfaces as well. Phone stays in its own pocket always.

My black chrome still looks great too.

Mine is still perfect. Don't baby my phone at all..slips in and out of my pocket, messenger pocket, sits on hard surfaces etc. no chipping and I have had the case for 3 weeks.

my phone has not seen any more chipping and still looks great. Just awaiting the 50% coupon.

I have had the case (Black/Matte) on for over a week now and it shows no sign of wear. I also put a piece of my old SGP Screen protector on the top to protect where the latch causes the scratch. Time will tell how long this case will last, but here's hoping for the best because I have gotten used to the form factor at this point and it really does look excellent.

Mine still thesame from the day I received it Perfect!. I normally place my phone on top my desk or place it inside my suit jacket but I normally switch cases every week or 2 when I get bored. I'm still waiting for my coupon code you consider buying another one for my daughter.

 

[gmaines]

I also got the black/matt and it still looks like new. I keep it in my pocket and no chips, when I get my coupon I will get another.

 

[peapody]

I'm probably going to pick up another case with the 50% off coupon code. Probably going to go for the white one when they fix the finish issues. I really like the graft case.

will they email you the code or you'll have to ask them for it? i gotten the black/matte from them a few weeks ago but i didn't receive any 50% off code from them lately.

Here are a few pictures I snapped of the wear on my black Leverage ...

The phone pretty much goes from my nightstand to the cup holder in my car to my pocket/desk ... Nothing abusive or anything ...

Sorry bro sucks that is happening. Mine still perfect. I hope it last long time that way. We can only hope Graft will stand by their products.

I think more worrisome is that their quality is not consistent since some ppl have zero wear vs say the images above.

HI , I have the white/glossy case (about 4 days in and no issues yet !!!)
Does your black case have just the one cut-out on the bottom (or are my eyes playing tricks on me? ). I have separate cut-outs on the bottom for my microphone, speaker and dock connector.
Does this mean the black and white are taken from different moulds ? different design ? materials ?
just a thought ...

Your eyes are playing tricks on you ... I have 3 separate cut outs.
