I got today my lucky labs Spectra Wrap and I love it. I think it's 1000 times better than a bumper (just more convenient to hold the phone + it's not making your iPhone to be bulky. However, it's helping with the reception, I can't get my iPhone to go down from 3 bars).
I also got my SGP carbon skin (for the back), my Phone Devil screen protector should arrive next week (maybe Saturday) so I will post pic's of everything.

Got mine yesterday. Pretty nice, fits well and I like the feel. However the hole for the headphones jack is too small -- even the OEM Apple ones don't fit. similarly the dock connector opening is a tight fit for the OEM Apple connector, aftermarket doesn't fit.
I suppose a few minutes with an x-acto knife will alleviate these issues. After all it was all of $3. Had it been the full $20+shipping I'd be returning it in a heartbeat.

Are these "loose" on the right side?
In both the pics posted in this thread and the YouTube video it appears it bows out a little bit on the lower right side.
Can anybody who has gotten one comment on that?

Follow up -- I'd emailed the company to let them know of the issue. Not complaining or anything, just wanted to ensure they were aware so they could make adjustments on future production runs.
I heard back from them this afternoon that be replacing my iwrap -- it may just be a flaw with my specific case and the cutting tolerances; they claim mine is the first comment they've received about this.
In light of their prompt response and how they're handling it, I felt it would be only fair to add this information to my previous post. I feel fairly confident that if someone is not happy with what they receive, this company will set things straight.
Not on mine. Fit is very nice, no looseness. No bowing out that I can find.
BTW, I'm using mine with an ebay front/back screen protector (something cheap, dry-apply style) and it works fine.
I got mine a bit ago and I can't even use it. It peels up the edge of my BSE back on all 4 sides.
How long has your BSE been on the phone? More than 72hrs?
If so, then I'm pretty surprised. BSE skins typically stick a bit better (once fully cured)
It happened to me too, I just throw BSE out and that's it. my PD screen protector should arrive in a couple of days and we will see, I think they are better than PS.
Sweet. I ordered a black one. I've been buying up a few Hong Kong cases here and there, but they take so long to get. I've wanted to try a bumper style case, and the last one I got from Hong Kong was totally useless (couldn't press the volume or sleep/wake button). Thanks for sharing this!
Sure seems like it. I ordered the black, but it looks more like a greyish, smokey translucent. Not sure how it'll look, but I'm always up for a $3 bumper to try out.
Fit is way too tight around the phone and if you have any type of protection it will peel it off, a little bit less tight wouldn't kill the case. The buttons also have a bulge on the side. It looks uneven and ugly, for 3 dollars i really don't care, but if you're thinking about picking this up don't waste your time.
Just received my black bumper and it's not translucent. It's a glossy, opaque black.
Got mine today. I got the black one, and, like the previous poster said it's definitely not translucent.
I guess it's OK for $3. Of course, it cost these guys less than a dollar to ship these, so these aren't exactly "free". They're likely making a good chunk of change from these (along with all the other "free" - just pay "shipping" offers going around)
The band is really tight, much tighter than the bumper. It really diminishes the feel of the sleep button. It seems like the recessed underneath portion of the sleep/wake button and on the volume button areas isn't recessed enough, because it makes the whole band stick out/pull away over the volume button area, making it look wavy on the left side of the phone
Most people wouldn't notice that, but it sure bugs me.

Yikes, that's worse than Switcheasy.
WTH, it costs like a buck more to ship across the border. Is this "compensation" for the 5 mins it takes to fill out a customs slip? Lame.
Just ordered mine. I'm currently using the black Apple bumper and have no real complaints other than how tight the headphone jack is and you have to use your fingernail to flip the silent switch off/on. Headphone jack works with my AUX cable and Apple headphones, but not much else. Maybe I'll prefer the clear/white iWrap.
Scroll up and watch my review. You're going to be even less happy with the headphone port on this case. :-/
