Okay. Here are a couple that I took with my iPad. Resolution is not so great. I'm traveling to Japan, so I don't have a digital camera with me.
AirJacket holds by two side pieces that go over the chamfered edges. Interesting how my Mac doesn't know what "chamfered" is.
Looks like there is some extra room around the lightning connector. Maybe to allow for the lightning to micro USB?

It's snug with my iPhone bare. I didn't even put the front screen protector on yet as I don't have tape for the hinge method. Popping it into the case was easy.
Yes. Only the sides are covered. The top and bottom are exposed, but the lip of the AirJacket comes right up to the glass so I don't see how you could chip it unless you took a knife to it.
If you are worried about dust, Power Support warns about that:
The jacket does not completely prevent scratches.
(Which may be dust enters from the opening, with a scratch)
Which case is that called? I can't read Japanese...is it called "air jacket"?
Just wondering so when it comes out in the USA I know what it is called.

Power Support Air Jacket. It's in the first post and PS has them for the 4 and 4S.
I think the air jacket for iphone 4 came with a screen protector too.
Did the Japanese one also come with screen protectors?

I have read some reviews up for the iPhone 4/4S Air Jacket, and it's highly viewed by the consumers. I would like to try one when it comes out.
From the photos, it seems the case is quite thick. Probably over 1mm? Does it feel like quite a bit of bulk to you? Thanks!
That's what I'm wondering. I have Rearth Ringke Slim and it is quite thin. I'd like to stick to that thickness.
This would be so my permanent case if it's not much thicker than Ringke Slim/SPIGEN Air.
Rumor has it Power Support US will start to carry this around November.
Returning to states in a couple days.

Doesn't feel thick at all, but I only bought it last night, opened it, put it on, and went to bed. I'll be carrying it around today so I'll have a better idea later.
+1, the quality of the pics are a little iffy but your input is very much appreciated in any case. I'd also like to know how the case holds up in the real world once you've had some time with it. I'm kind of worried about the case being held into place by the side pieces latching onto the chamfered edges. Hopefully it doesn't put too much pressure on the chamfers and they end up getting scuffed/discolored. Also kind of wish they made the lip all-around so that dirt/grime doesn't slip into the crevices.
