Patchworks Alloy X Short Review

Hey guys, never really done this kind of thing before, but I felt as though I should put this information out there.

I fell in love with the look of the Patchworks Alloy X Case

I couldn't find any review on it yet, and went ahead and bought it.
I used to have an old Element Vapor Nickel which degraded reception, and an Abee jacket before that which wasn't too bad, just bulky.

I received the case, and it looks amazing, packaging, presentation and the quality of materials and production is great.
However it quickly reduced my signal to 1 bar or SOS Only when I usually have 4 to 5 bars in the house. I had my girlfriend try to call me and it just went to voicemail, sms took a long time to send etc. I took the case off and received 5 sms and a few missed call notifications. The only other positive is that my connectors fit (Car, Dock, Cable).

All in all its a waste of time and money, despite looking incredible, moreso in the flesh. Extremely dissapointed, complete waste of money and time on such a good looking case.

Sorry for lack of pictures and brevity, just thought people ought to know!

 

No problem,

I am really, really dissapointed

I am looking at it right now with the bumper off, I can however recommend their back and front plates, which are made from genuine wood, they feel amazing! Sans metal bumper, its fine! I think I might return it for an Element Case Vapor Pro Stealth? Oh well
