Power Support Slim Frame (formerly Flat Bumper)

I really wish they offered just the bumper. I don't use screen protectors. This could easily be a $20-$25 case without the margin maker screen protectors in the package.

Going to pass for now....even though the silver would look pretty hot on my white 4s.

It is available in the US. Posted above.

I guess in Japan the site mentions self-healing plastic (seller mentioned), but not this case. Already scratching from my Seidio holster. Be careful.

Excellent feel from the buttons. Not sure how they did it, since it looks like a band from the outside.

Great case!

Is the polycarbonate a solid silver color throughout so it's still silver when scratched? Or is the silver painted on so scratches reveal a different color underneath?
 
I can confirm that the MEElectronics M9P fits the audio jack cutout. The retractable auxiliary cable from Monoprice, however, doesn't. (I'm hoping to fix that by buying their new aux cable that's advertised as being designed with case cutouts in mind.)
 
I just received the case today and am I'm loving it. I was previously using the Graft Leverage case, which I also think is awesome, but I love how this Power Support Slim Frame case makes it look like you don't have a bumper.

The headphone outlet, however, is slightly smaller than that of the Graft Leverage. I use the Yuin PK2 earbuds, which already have a really small plug, and now I have to squeeze the plug in to get it to fit.
 
I just received the gold one, which is only available in Japan. It appears to have a clear film protecting it. I am hoping it is the self-healing stuff they have on one of their other cases.

The silver one I got does not have this coating and scratches pretty easily.

I will keep you posted...
 
Shipping adds a fair amount. It came from Japan. Total was ¥ 3,740.

I just got the gold one, which is only available there, on Amazon. It has a protective coating on the outside that has so far prevented scratching. The silver one, which I also got from the same seller, does not and has scratched way too easily. If you are careful, it probably will not scratch so much. I was using it in a Seidio holster, which can scratch the sides.

The Flutterscape user was very nice and we Emailed several times. Check out http://www.flutterscape.com/product...lat-bumper-set-for-iphone-4-4s-champagne-gold

Shipping was fairly quick.
 
That's a real bummer to hear that the silver one scratches :/ I've had too many happen that way:

The black bumper from apple (black shiny part scratches easily) and the moohie juice pack air (silver part scratches)

Anyways, thanks for saving me the $. Ill just stay with my current setup.

You still get the screen protectors correct? PowerSupportUSA says 1 set of the Anti-Glare (front and back) and 1 set of the Crystal (front and back).

How's the button response and feel?
Click to expand...

This was my main concern and because of it I'm sending mine back.

The power button became too sensitive. Barely touching it would depress it. Even pressing on the headphone jack would activate the power button.

The volume ones weren't as sensitive though.
 
I will post pics when I can.

I am confused. The silver one, as I said, is scratching and has a different surface that the gold. Both came from Japan.

I Emailed PS and asked them about this. Their response only states that it does not have a self-healing layer.

Maybe the pics will show you the difference.

I have not had issues with button response. Works well for me.
 
Looks very nice with the simplified.i have used Power support but haven't bought a case from them. I like it how it doesn't have buttons, but isn't it hard to control volume?
 
Not sure if the people on this thread are still interested in the UCO Skinny Bumpers, kinda like the Power Support Slim Frame Bumper, but I got two that I am giving away. Go check out my blog to see my review and enter the contest!
 
I'm not sure if my eyes are playing tricks on me or not, but...

I've had the silver case for about 2 weeks. I love it, however, i took it out for cleaning and noticed that the metal antenna on my iPhone 4s seems more "yellow" now. I'm not sure if its just the contrast between the case and the antenna that's playing tricks on my eyes, or if the "yellowing" is even caused by the case. But maybe others can chime in.
