IMO it is def worth the wait
My top case as of right now (sending back my Incipio NGP until they are updated)
Feels solid, great grip in hand, slim, no oversized branding on the case, and I like the way they did the back of the case (matching the middle with the top 2 glass pieces of how the phone looks.
Nice review and pics!
Can you please tell me how much space there is for the headphone jack?
Is there room for a headphone jack that is slightly thicker than the Apple ones?
I have the Bose MIE2i headphones.

pics almost make the black version look slate colored. is it true black/gray or is it a somewhat blueish gray color?
either way, this one looks damn nice.

It is true black and gray...I didn't adjust the white balance so it looks a touch of blue in the pics.
A few days with this case and it's simply perfect for my needs
Solid feel, good grip in hand, slim, perfect cutouts all around with a small lay on table design.
you made me a believer...just ordered one. currently have a belkin sheer (the soft matte black version). It's very nice..fitment is excellent, tactile feedback is excellent, but something about it is just a bit boring...
IMO the Incipio Kicksnap is the best case all around. Although it could be considered in a different category than this one. Kickstand cases ect. I just like cases with a raised lip in the front.
Im a very picky case person, unlike most of you guys i dont run out and buy nine cases a week into having the phone, i buy one cheap ass case that holds me over till GOOD solid options are out there
i made this one my 1st REAL case purchase cause is not too bulky, its simple and there are bottom cut outs and not some lame huge ass opening all the rest of these companies are doing
idc how sexy a case is, even if i like it, if theres a big opening at the top and/or bottom its a no go

Got my black tone today and it's a keeper. Looks great with little bulk and I feel like the phone is protected well.
from videos ive seen the connector cover looks flush against the case but the headphone jack cover looks raised, is it like that?
I was able to plug in Bose MIE2i, Harman Kardon NI & B&W C5 without problem with Switcheasy Tones.
Wow, nice!
My black one just came in today. Wow, this is one nice case of it's type. I wanted a medium protection case for some uses. Not too hart to put on and off, very slim. The buttons have a great feel too. I also really like the fact it is really a two tone, more like black and dark gray. Looks super on the black phone. I have the military green one too just for fun.
I was thinking of a Candyshell, but this might fit the bill. Kind of a CandyShell on a diet.

Otterbox and switcheasy
I bought the otterbox defender since I'm a long time otterbox user for previous phones but I feel otterbox rushed the defender and the phone moves within the case when I plug it to charge or unplug it the phone moves back and forward which scares me because after getting a replacement phone for scratches I don't want the phone to scratch because of the otterbox so very dissapointed with otterbox
So I went ahead and ordered the tones I used to have the capsule rebel back in the day well I'm waiting to recieve my tones my question is that I noticed the camera opening is small have you taken pictures with flash did you have any issues with flash when taking photos
P.s. otterbox used to be my favorite company not anymore they built a horrible case for the iphone 5 and I will be returning the otterbox once I recieve the tones

You could punch out the screen protector then install either Bodyguardz Pure or Spigen Gas.tr, it will push it down a bit tighter!
