Power Support Slim Frame (formerly Flat Bumper)

did anyone order ? I'm curious how legit the site is and how long the shipping would take
 
Here's to hoping this will be the last case I buy!
The Power Support screens included are a plus too!

It's not a case rather a bumper (big difference). Even with the screen protectors, $45 is a steep price to pay for a plastic bumper. JMO.
 
By case I meant "protective accessory". Hope this clarifies my post... Sorry for the confusion...
40-45 for this +screens pretty much makes this a $20ish bumper doesn't it (which is in line with any other decent bumper on the market)...
 
The Silver one I ordered from Japan just came in today. Fortunately, I only paid a little more than $40 for it.

I will post pics when I can. I have rubber bands on it right now as the top is bowing up. This is probably because it was 108 here today (packages are left outside). It is already going down.

Initial impressions...

It is cool how they made it flat so that there are no protruding buttons. To do this, they had to provide a gap under the bumper. You really cannot see it due to the inner softer plastic, but...

If you look carefully at the pics on their site (see link above) you can see a little tiny gap between the case and the screen. You can just barely see some of the silver band. The good part of this is that it will work just fine with screen protectors and rear stick on products. I have a wood decal on the back that is not restricted in any way.

There is also some pull away at the sides, but only if you manually pull on it.

I will say that it is very light and the phone almost feels naked. Craftsmanship is very good.

Clever design and it looks nice and is very low profile, but probably not worth $40, unless you are like me and have to have the latest!

While you wait for pics, those on the site are very accurate.

Reminds me of the UCO Skinny Bumper, which I like a lot. I am so tempted to get the black one, but $40 seems too steep for what this is. Though the price does include 2 front screen protectors and 2 back protectors...but still.

I'll wait to see if some reviews come out first.

Yea same here. $40 for a plastic bumper seems a bit steep. I'll wait for reviews before deciding if I want to pick it up. Although I am a case whore and will probably pull the trigger and get it lol
 
Wow it includes 4 screen shields, front and back in crystal and anti-glare! $40 is a bit steep but the fact that you get $30 worth of PS screen shields helps justify the price more.

Does this bumper have lay on the table design?

Is it easy to put on? Does taking it on/off make it feel like you'll wear out the plastic (and permanently damage it)?
 
Would love one of these but they want $37 shipping to the UK. No chance I'm paying $77 for a plastic bumper.
 
Easier to take off than to put on.

It does have some lay on table protection.

The guy that sold it to me in Japan says their PS site states that the case has a self-healing coating. I saw no mention of that on US site.
 
Yes and yes.

I actually fixed the part that was bowing. There was still a little nubbin on the inside rubber part that was left over from the mold. I cut it off and all is well.

I like this case.

Taking pictures now...

Isn't it cool how it looks like there are no physical buttons?

I have a rather thick wood skin on the back. Without this, or with just a film, the edge of the black inner plastic protrudes just a bit for table down protection.

I may get another one. Wish they had more colors...
