If Graft were to pursue a 2.0, it will definitely take at least several months if they want to do it right. It takes time to redesign, remachine, retool, field test, etc.
Got a tip for us?

If you want significant protection, then there is always Otterbox and similar ugly cases.
This case will provide drop protection and many people are also looking for appearance.
This is a very unique and attractive case.
I ordered mine on Cyber Monday since they were offering 20% off. Received it on that Thursday. Pretty quick shipping! So far I like the case. Total thickness is a little more than I expected. It fits on there very snug, maybe because im using SGP ultra crystal on front and back.
PS: My Skullcandy Titan headphones do not fit the headphone port.

Really like the feel of the case. My AG Power support screen protector bubbled up but that was because it was not a perfect fit, it was no biggie though. My sister gave me her extra one and i got a perfect fit w/ no dust or air bubbles 
. Also like the fact that my BOSE IE2 fits. Thumbs up from me!

I agree...The BOSE IE2 just barely does fit...I would perfer a little more clearance...
Has anyone else had the on off button seperate from the rest of the case? .I applied some epoxy with a tooth pick to re-attach it....
I think it's over priced but,I do still love this case...It's the only one I use on my 4s....
Going on about a month now with my black/chrome case. I take it off every morning and evening when driving in my car, and the latch seems to be holding strong.
For all those with the chrome lever:
1. How easily scratched is the chrome?
2. Is the chrome painted on or is it just the metal highly polished?
Regarding #2, if it's highly polished, that is good news because that means we have the option of repolishing it or even making it brushed!

Yeah, just tried my Phillips CASSETTE to Audio jack and it did not fit, was loose
but oh well. 's all good!
Loose...even with backplate
All I've done is put it in my trouser pocket, but otherwise I am seriously babying the 4s right now. Fact is, even with the backplate, I can feel that right edge is already getting looser - which is somewhat concerning since I've only had it for a week!
Going to agree with jterp7, but for a $47 case (cyber monday deal) this is ridiculous. If I paid $60 I would definitely be livid.
*Don't get me wrong, this is a dramatically different experience than the Otterbox (aka Uglybox) I came from. The packaging and presentation - it is beautiful, I wouldn't have bought it if it wasn't. But realistically, I need it to also function, so I'll see in a couple weeks if my right edge continues to get looser.

yup..neither my koss ksc75 nor UM2's fit the headphone hole in the Graft. Strangely my caze fit both fine. I realize there is a minimum thickness for rigidity but if more than a few headphones don't fit they should probably be including the adapter.
If your case is loose, contact them. They are very responsive and easy to work with. My first case chipped and they promptly sent me a replacement.
Neither case has been loose. You may have a defective case.
As far as the headphone jack, unfortunately, many cases now have a small opening. You may need to purchase an adapter.
Don't bash the case without talking to the company first.

Try holding the case without the backplate in your left hand. Right where your middle and ring finger touch it there is flex, it has already been reported earlier in this thread so it does not sound like a mfg defect to me since it's happened in both their earlier and current versions. Admittedly, I had already read on this thread about most HPs not fitting, and I don't expect HD650s to fit, but my koss's aren't high end and did fit into my last bumper case so it really isn't asking too much. I have already contacted them both on FB and through CS but they don't seem to be the same person. For a $60 case there are just a bit too many things that are off:
1) the antenna scratching, which lead to the temporary tape fix
2) on a white iphone imperfections in the molding are very obvious, most notably on the top right corner where the latching system is located
3) just after switching to this case, people are having trouble hearing me on speaker phone, this was not a problem on my caze bumper which as far as I could tell was thinner, but had similar cutouts
4) headphones fitting, adapter necessary
For the leverage 2.0
5) tactile buttons for the volume: On my $14 caze (retail 23), this is acceptable and even the apple bumper and SGP hybrid snow have these for about $30. For $60, I think they can do better than just a cutout.
Okay, I just received my black Leverage with chrome, and I don't know what you guys are talking about.
* I've put on and taken off the case 4 times now and I didn't get any rubbing on my antenna band. Maybe I was just being extra careful not to "overdo" it.
* It was really easy to put on and off. The only time I had issues was when I was being a tard and didn't properly align the case along the iPhone's antenna band.
I only have 2 gripes:
1. The lever is ever so slightly not completely flush with the rest of the case. By how much? I'd say about 0.5 millimeter. For a $60 case, I expected it to be completely flush.
2. The fit is not as tight as I'd like it to be; using the supplied backplate did not tighten the fit. I even applied an iColor wrap to my antenna band afterwards to see if it made it tighter. Nope. I say this because the sides can be pulled a little away from the antenna band. I don't dare to see how much I can pull it though. I'm not surprised though since this is a really flimsy case that is only reinforced by the iPhone upon application.
My conclusions:
It's an overpriced, albeit nice looking, case with a few minor flaws.
Oh, and for those who can't wait a few weeks when Graft Concepts will replenish their stock, this person is selling the black matte again on eBay:

Spare 50% coupons?
Hi!
I'm just wondering if anyone got a "one-time 50% off coupon" that you are not going to use?
If so, I would be extremely grateful if you wanted to "pay it forward"?
(I live in Sweden, and the international shipping cost for the Leverage makes the total quite alot to swallow..
Thanks and have a nice weekend all of you!

Does anyone know if the Monster Cable/Beats By Dre "Diddy Beats" have any issues fitting properly with this case.
It's L-shaped, but the connecting side is quite long and thin so I guess it's no problem...would be nice with a confirmation though.

Sweet! Thanks
Will look nice together with the black/matte case whenever that is back in stock!
...also, while posting, just adding a humble reminder of my request a few messages up. FatChick, or any one else with the possibility to give up the 50%-off coupon...it would make a great difference!
Coupon
I'm interested in a leverage too. I emailed them and they are going to revise the current version to prevent the antenna issue. I live in the UK though so it is going to cost me a ridiculous amount on shipping/duties. I'd really appreciate if anyone has a 50% off coupon they don't plan on using as this would make the price a lot more realistic. My email is wassupshash@hotmail.com
