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

Graft concepts discount code: 69YG927
They gave it to me because the first iteration of the leverage scratched my phone. Needless to say I returned it and didn't need the code. Buy at your own risk. Even if they fixed the scratching issue, the case did seem like it would have to be replaced eventually from the latch wearing out. This is especially a problem if you're like me and have to remove the case to use a charging dock.

Not great :( What a shame. I am just not sure that it is worth the risk buying this. It sounds like it is not as great quality as I was expecting.
 
Any updates? Was wanting to do one of these with an invisible shield on front and a mas back. Seems like great attractive protection that would allow easy removal for docking.

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 :cool:. Also like the fact that my BOSE IE2 fits. Thumbs up from me!

Great to know on the Bose ie2 - they're my favorite :)
 
I see that the white one is finally available for purchase online. I've only seen the black one at the apple store (oddly their site doesn't carry them, though). Does anyone have experience with the white one? Have they corrected the discoloration issue? Anyone else have a discount code?

Cheers!

It's only been available for three days or so. I ordered one... guess we'll see soon enough. Without a matte coating, I would imagine that issue will be moot... so I hope.
 
Ordered a white one (again). I loved the original white one and the discoloration issue was a huge bummer so I stopped using it.

Fingers crossed.

Never knew they carried them at the Apple Store. I'm going to have to look in to this.
 
Would love one or two of these, but with shipping to the UK and the high risk of taxes and duties on them, they are simply too expensive. :(

Funny that so many companies do discount codes for use on their site(even Element Case can do this), yet there's nothing from Graft...

No-one wish to sell their used one? :D
 
Took the dive and bought the black version at the Apple store on Wednesday. Love it. Lacks the shock protection of my Switcheasy Capsule Rebel, but its much slimmer and definitely a more attractive case. Enjoying it thoroughly thus far. We'll see about the soft touch coating wearing off with time.
 
Really surprised (and not) that this is at the apple store. I am hoping the white one has gotten better since I have a coupon code just waiting to be used
 
My glossy white version arrived yesterday. I was gonna post some high res pics I found it hard to convey what the surface looks like so I'll let someone else do that. The case seems like a nice revision over the back matte I owned which aged quite poorly. I suspect this glossy case will see lots of scratches in the coming months. One night between my pocket and a few tables put some fine scratches on the back plate.

Yep saw them at my local Apple store too! Apple really liked the latch design. Shame you didn't let me know sooner, I'm expecting a few of the new white finishes to come in to have a look at :)
 
Speaking of coupon codes... Anyone want to PM me one? :D

Me and the girlfriend are finally replacing our black 4's with new white 4S's tomorrow and I'd love to order a couple of these bumpers to protect our new phones.

I'll order the new gloss white for her phone, but I may go with the matte black for myself... Loving the contrast it has on the white 4S, but I'm still not totally sure on it. Thoughts?

I have the black one on my white iPhone 4. I'm fond of it so far.

After a week of use, my only complaint so far is how recessed the volume buttons are. Not unusable by any means, but I can see it be annoying with more time.

Definitely a great looking case. Not sure about its ability to protect against shock, and wouldn't want to find out the hard way.
 
After gone through the Draco IV, Power Support Slim Frame, and Graft Leverage, I've always come back to the Graft Leverage. Both the Draco IV and Graft Leverage really makes the iPhone look more elegant, but the Draco IV unfortunately affects reception. The Power Support Slim Frame looks nice too, but the silver paint looks cheap so cheapens the iPhone's overall look.
 
So I'm one of the original buyers of the concept case. I had both the white and black matte versions. The white discolored very quickly but it seems that was recently fixed.

The black matte did fine but the latch part broke off in about 3~4 months because I frequently removed it to attach earpieces or to charging stations.

It still is a pretty case and I might just use my old 50% coupon to get another white one.

Any new reviews out on the "fixed" versions?
