Anybody know if Apple stores usually carry Power Support cases? I know they stock some of their screen protectors. Hoping to pick one of these up in store.

They have in the past, but I wouldn't count on it. Order online from Power Support, be sure.

No it did not. That authenticity hologram checker looks like something Power Support would give the store to hang near the cases so you can verify the legitimacy of the product before buying it. I guess the guy in the video must have taken it from the store.
 
I got this email from customer support. Anyone know what the difference is between Air Jacket and Slim Air Jacket?

The Slim Fram Jacket is the bumper.

This Case is going to be expensive then.

The price on the Japanese website converted to dollars comes out to ~$35, so i'm guessing once it hits the American market it's gonna go for $35-$40. Expensive indeed, wish I could just pick one up without the screen protectors.

Maybe. Japan Yen is really strong right now so converting the screen protector price to US$ is ~$22. That's well above the price in the Apple store for $15. But if you go by Apple's retail pricing of the Air Jacket for 4S, then it could be even more, currently $39.95.
 
Picked up a clear one in Tokyo night before last. The screen film alone is worth price of admission. Looks amazing on the white i5 and protects everything very well.

Also got a spare two-pack of crystal films for future use.

Has a very good hard-coat so it should not scratch for quite some time. Have used PS cases on i3 and i4 with no issues and several saves from drops. Absolutely the best fit and finish by a wide margin and about 0.7 mm thin.

Well considering I stupidly spend $24.00 on a Zagg utter piece of crap screen protector, $22.00 for TWO PS crystals seems pretty darn good. But the dollar to yen rate is killing me here and I don't see it improving anytime soon.

If you actually use one of the protectors you might find its worth the premium.
 
Oh man.

I want this case. It's pretty thin and keeps the good design of the iPhone.

It's probably going to cost a lot though, so...:(

I'm sure PS makes great screen protectors, I previously had a Spigen Ultra Oleophobic on my iPhone 5 and they seem to be comparable. However, I just replaced it with a tempered glass protector (Bodyguardz Pure) and there's no comparison between a glass and plastic shield. So yeah I wouldn't have any need for the PS ones that come with the Air Jacket. If I ever pick up this case, maybe I can find someone who wants the protectors for $10.
 
Just purchased a PS Anti-glare for my 5. From a third-party vendor, but got free 2-day (as a Prime member). It'll be here Monday.

$21.99 no tax.

I loved my anti-glare on my 4. Looking forward to getting it. Now if AtomicCase would show what's doin' on the 5.
 
I had a friend in Japan order the ラバーブラック (Rubber Black; PJK-72) version for me. It's being delivered on Monday by FedEx. I really like the clean look of it, hopefully the quality is just as nice.
 
Just received it today, it has a nice feel. Case doesn't look cheap certainly because of the great fit this case has been made. And yes I did get the authenticity checker card (ordered online). But maybe I'll get the clear one. More my taste or just go caseless.(it seems it doesn't fit with side protectors and such. I couldn't get mine in so had to remove them.

Edit:
Not compitable with lightning adapter. Cant push in far enough in :(

That's a pretty epic fail.
