Cool color, looks awesome. Light might be throwing the true color off a little, I think?

Anyway, thanks for posting and sharing!

Ya, the pics do not do it justice because of the light. In person though, it is perfect..... I just posted a new thread about some new bluetooth headsets made by contour that i picked up at Apple. Check them out. They rock!!!!!!

I've never uploaded pictures before on here so how would I do it? Also, it is neither glossy or matte. All i can say is it looks awesome and the bottom is easy to come off right off the bat unlike the white one that took a couple weeks.

Really, its easy and better fitting ? the way you post pictures is by using the HTML link I believe

so where did you buy it, what apple store...in Dallas ? how many did they have ? does it say gun metal on the box ?

the Southlake store. They had 3 rows of them and yes it said gun metal on the box
 
I knew I should have not posted anything because all these forums do is assume people are liars and making stuff up. I went to the Southlake Store in Texas and they had plenty. I used to work for Apple and we used to get products that would just show up and it is not even on Apple's website and not even shipping from the manufacture yet. Anyway, here are some pics to the non believers.....

Hey Macsterling,

Just wondering, you had a post earlier and you said it's neither glossy or matte. Can you be more specific on what's the texture? Is it a lint magnet? Easy to slide in the pockets and take out? Still the same thickness just like the black matte and white glossy finish for iPhone 3G I presume. I like to try out that case, I might probably need your help hehe

Mac sterling, one last question....how hard is it to remove the bottom and the whole case itself....is it super tight, or does it slide off with ease, and is perfect fit, because if its easy, i switching my crappy matte one tomorrow...please get back to me
 
Hmm, I missed the part where I called you a liar. Get a life.

My bad, it was late and I hate it when people question other people on how they got their products. I did not mean to call you a liar. I know people have been waiting for the new colors to come out and since I got the Gun Metal one, I thought I would be kind enough to share it with everyone......

Ps... I do have a great life and thanks for the encouragement.

It is not a lint magnet.. It has a smooth finish and easy to get in and out of packs. Feels great in the hand... So far it shows no signs of smudges or scratches etc. It is the perfect case... I have several for different occasions...

I also recommend the Switch Easy colors too. They are the best silicone cases on the market and do not attract lint and are simple with no designs on the back. they even come with a protector for the headphone port and the bottom port to keep dust out of it. I also love the hard home button they have on them... Feels great. I can easily pull this in out and out of my pocket easily too.
 
Just called my local Apple Store and they said they have "Silver". I wonder if they meant the Gun Metal or the Aluminum. I'm going later today to switch my case.

Just ask them if it says Gun Metal on the back... If it is different then post pics when you get it. They are supposed to get an aluminum I think too

I like the Gun Metal and Silver so it doesn't really matter to me. But if it's not the Gun Metal, I will post pics when I get it.
 
Of course, they release this in different colors shortly after I've purchased mine. :rolleyes::p Guess I'll have to stop by an Apple store shortly to check this out - I'm a big fan of gunmetal in general, though I'm loving the matte black one I already have...

Just came back from the Apple store after seeing the gun metal version.



I found it totally disappointing. I own the black matte version. Compared to the black one, the gun metal finish is totally different. It's almost sticky to the touch, not velvety like the black one, and not smooth like the white version. It felt like it was painted and the paint had not dried.

But does the surface smudges with fingerprint and dust?

I much prefer the black matte with my black iPhone but I fear the lifespan of it is way too short...

Edit - I just noticed the first rip in the matte surface of my case. Just after 3 days for this one. DAMN INCASE!!!!

I didn't play with it very long. I didn't notice any smudges. Dust? Who knows. I played with it for 5 min.

My gun metal is perfect. Not sticky like one said it was painted on. Mine is very smooth and no fingerprints like glossy ones and won't peel like the matte one. I've had mine for a couple days now and everyone I show it to wants one because it looks amazing. No flaws whatsoever. Of course not every case is gonna be perfect since i'm sure they are made on an assembly line of some sort.
 
If this one doesn't start peeling on people, then I'll be switching out my matte black for one of these. My second black one is already peeling again.
 
The gunmetal looks really cool. Why?! I shouldn't buy another case!! I have the white and love it. To have the gunmetal would be a nice alternative if i don't want the phone to stand out so much.

the gun metal won't peel because it's not made of that matte rubberish stuff that always peels after awhile. Some sooner.

I have 4 cases all for different occasions. WHOOA. I just sounded like a girl. Oh well.
 
I just exchanged my black matte for a Gun Metal and I like it. InCase is also sending me a replacement black matte because my other one was stuck and they told me I could keep the other one! So I returned it for the gun metal and I have a black matte on the way lol.
 
I mean absolutely zero offense by this, and don't intend to be an ass, but we could all just stop by our local Apple stores :) This way you can really see if it's what you want, and hell, you might run into some other stunning color that catches your eye!
