Jett Case, Case-mate's take on an aluminum case!

Did you not see Case-Mates video on it? It has foam inserts on the inside so there is NO reception issue whatsoever.

Yea - same inserts were on the alumacase. Still screwed my reception completely.

Not passing judgement on this case, maybe it DOES work as promised, but I don't put a whole lot of faith in the foam insert solution.
 
case looks nice with the machined buttons for all the iphone buttons but the foam inserts really just let me know that they know it has reception problems and that is there answer to it... we will see

I really hope that is sarcasm. The Vapor has those as well some of the others. While the Vapor works fine for me reception-wise (GPS no worky right) it is know to suck the life out of most iPhone signals.

Anyway, I got the e-mail this morning stating my case has shipped. I got the grey, hopefully it is more silver, like in the video. Makes the case look like it is actually part of the antenna.

Now I need to go buy a camera to take pictures of this thing when it comes it. The only one I have and use is my iPhone 4.

The case is adonized? Lol
Looks nice and just $49.99! Hope this one works!
 
This actually looks very nice. And finally, it's from a reputable and well known company so any issues with returns or reception will either be fixed or refundable. If I come across a nice chunk of extra change I'll be picking up the grey/silver one. :)
 
Those metal buttons look like they're going to scratch the crap out of your iPhone's metal bezel especially the volume rocker....:confused: But it looks nice and is priced right;)
 
I really wanted to wait for reviews, but with the case-mate 30% off discount, I could not resist, ordered the grey one! AHhhhh hope it doesn't kill my reception / GPS.

Someone tell me a good carbon fiber backing that will go well with this case!!

I posted this in the other thread, but the price is making it hard to refuse. Though I wish they had silver, like the one in the video. If they did it would be a no brainer for me.
 
Damn they are fast! I ordered the Jett Case 20 minutes ago, and have already got my shipping notification with tracking number. So hopefully I can do a review of this case by Monday at the latest, as Case-Mate's shipping warehouse is not but 30 miles from me here in Georgia.
 
i'm in for two. hard to turn down this discount. actually i had meant to order one but while on hold with customer service to cancel the duplicate they shipped them both. impressive.

Mine shipped too! So fast. Also free shipping! now this is what I call service.

a certain other aluminum case manufacturer gave me the runaround when I first ordered, took them forever to ship, they said they accidentally put me in the "international shipping" bin, etc etc.

I guess this is the kind of service to expect from a big corporation.

I'm excited! but at the same time, worried about reception issues...
 
now i mthinking about ordering a jet case, on the fence though. i currently own 2 swbox white bumpers, a white hula so im not sure that id need this one.

i have a lucky labs wrap that i use under all my cases so theoretically only the buttons would make contact, but i don't see why we couldn't cover the buttons with one of the dots left on the lucky peel away sheet.
 
i also went for it!! pretty excited. i was gonna get a atomic, but this deal is better. anyone get a different color besides grey? seeems like everyone is gettin grey..

Actually it doesn't look like that. I would assume they are the same as the power button and are solid. Once they are on and since it is a tight fit it looks like it will be like the Atomic or Vapor buttons. Those were fine and caused no scratches at all.

The only one that looks weird is the vibrate switch. That looks interesting. I'll hopefully find out tomorrow.
 
Jumping on the band wagon! It looks like a great case and for the price (Plus discount) you really can not pass it up.

im actually thinking of going with the red, only problem is i don't want it to be a chic red, so i don't know. I might just stick with the gray.
