Just received my clear black. Using on white Iphone. Really high quality as described. The smoke wasn't as dark as I initially thought which is white I chose this over the white. I still think the latter would be very nice but the clear black was the safer choice atm
 
Nice!

Anybody know if their retail store in Burbank has them in stock yet? I e-mailed them a few days ago and they told me they should have it by mid November, but now it's available online at this moment...
Going to give them a call in the a.m. to ask this very thing.
 
This case is nice but I don't think I can spend $40+ on it. I'll probably look into the Elago Outfit.
 
Extra $16 to ship via Ground to Canada! :eek: And that's the cheapest option.

Confirmed, Burbank Store has them in stock.
 
I need a Smoke vs Black shoot-out. All Black sleekness but not seeing the actual iPhone, vs possibly Scratch prone but seeing through to the back of the phone.....
 
Shame they're not on the UK site, shipping from the US will no doubt be expensive PS style :D

Its still cheaper to order from Japan and use a mid service (you pay 17 dollar extra to repack it and send it to europe then above the product price)

I might go for this option, any good links to companies who do this?

Thanks!
 
Dammit I wanted them to release the frosted white =( I don't like pure clear cases cause they scratch easy and have that rainbow effect against the iPhone. Blah.
 
Picked up the smoked case today from the Burbank store. Unfortunately, I'm extremely unhappy with it. It fits nice and covers all sides, but it is extremely slippery. It has almost a hard gloss feeling to it and it is not comfortable to hold. Your phone will move in your hand. The case is also a fingerprint magnet. The smoked color mixed with my black phone shows everything off. Every scratch and every fingerprint and grease mark was there. This actually makes it even more slippery to hold.

My advice is to go with the black and stay away from the clear and clear black. I would also check out the Noot black case sold on Amazon. Picked it up for $2.99 and can't believe how wonderful it is. Perfect fit and feeling. Trust me and give it a try.

I have the noot case currently, do you think the black version of the Air Jacket would be an upgrade? I love the fit and feel of the noot but I just don't like the logo on the back and I find the non-precise speaker holes on the bottom to be kind of ugly. How does the Air Jacket compare to the noot case in terms of slimness and weight?

For the $39 price, which is pretty outrageous regardless of the included screen protectors, i would stick with the Noot. The "marshmallow" feel of the noot actually feels better in the hand and would protect the phone in a fall better. The slimness and weigh are pretty close. The noot is more rubbery though and in my opinion more protective without relinquishing the slimness.
