Has anyone gotten one of these or seen a review of one?
Case-Mate is re-tweeting every blog on earth that's posted about it being launched but I've yet to see a single review, or any mention about anyone who's actually held one in their hands.

This was my first thought. What is the point of this exactly? $300 to degrade signal, without actually adding any protection. It does look pretty snazzy though.
so true. I have 3 elements and the plastic fails super easily. Unless they changed the design this thing is a double fail.
Naw
This case is expensive if you are poor! lol jk it looks pretty nice if it wasnt titanium color

I get the feeling they'll never send out review units, they'll say "Its a premium version of the Jett and for that reason we don't send to reviewers"
Yea that seems overpriced from the images, the design looks really simple. Although titanium would make your iPhone 4 really protected haha.
From the pictures it looks like it's broken into three pieces like the case of the iPhone, and so it may be that the titanium is intended to simply "extend" the antenna so that the case becomes the antenna, rather than blocking it.
But that's just a thought from the picture...

No, it wouldn't. It's a pretty strong misconception that just whacking titanium into a case design will improve protection. It won't. The way that bumpers work is that the energy from the drop is absorbed in the flexible rubber material to buffer the shock created during impact. This shock absorption is unlikely to occur in a titanium case.
Elements dont have plastic on them. The vapor pro has a small piece of composite material but it is not brittle not weak, never heard of anyone breaking theirs.
True that! I would rather buy another apple gadget then to spend it on an expensive case.
sorry stand corrected...meant to say Jett...I own 3 of them. sent 2 back because of the broken plastic pieces. Then basically gave up when one of the sides of the 3rd broke.
