I just received the metallic red version today (ordered from Amazon Prime). It does have a glossy finish but it's not obnoxious. It's a deep red and still looks great to me. I'm happy with it so far and it does work with the Lightning-to-30-pin adapter cable I use with a ProClip holder in my car.
Yeah would love to see a video or pics! I'm thinking of picking up the red or the blue one.. The silver one is perfect for my white. What do you think would look good from the metallic version. Red or Blue?
are you speaking of the .2Meter lightning to 30 pin adapter cable or the 1 piece adapter?
I was thinking of ordering this but broke down and decided to order a Spigen Linear EX Slim bumper. It's decent and I am happy-ish. Anybody by some chance have the Spigen bumper and then ordered this one? Is it a major difference worth the price?
The main reason I settled for the Spigen was I was given the $7.99 off code so it was under 15 for it. Seemed worth the sacrifice.
This is the one I have, it doesn't look as nice as the power support but not too far off.

I did the exact same thing you did but once I relieved the spigen bumper I ordered the power support one. I also had the code for the discount so it was only $15 so it's ok I guess. The spigen one feels horrible IMO and cheap. I haven't received the powersupport bumper yet but I'm sure it's going to be better than the spigen one.
what 7.99 code are you talking about for spigen?
When you buy things from them sometimes they give you gift cards worth $7.99.
Received it one day early from Amazon!
The case comes with one crystal clear anti fingerprint screen protector and one anti glare screen protector. The anti fingerprint is easy to install and really repels fingerprints well, to tell you the truth i think its on par with the antiglare in that respect. They really did a good job with that screen protector. I have saved the anti glare one, but we all know their anti glare ones are top notch.
Now, on to the back protector. Now this is one thick back protector, but it really feels like the glass back of the iPhone 4 and 4S. This was also really easy to install but I cant seem to get some bubbles out, so I guess thats the only negative. I'm gonna keep trying and I'll let you all know if they come out. Other than bubbles, though, it is really nice on the white iPhone. I'm not sure if it would look all that great on the black one because it has a ton of glare and attracts a lot of fingerprints. But in Chicago winters its nicer to touch this than ice cold aluminum, but i might take it off in the summer time.
The bumper feels really nice, but there is no way that they can call this a silver and WHITE bumper. It's silver and GRAY, but it still looks really nice on the white iPhone.
I don't really know what else to say about it, but if you have any questions, let me know.
I have posted some pictures below of how the silver and "white" bumper looks on the white iPhone 5.

You can order from this seller. He delivers to quite a few locations:

thanks! that's nice and thin. my current case is closer to 0.98cm, and my cheap bumper i have at home is about 0.95cm.
too bad the black and silver seems to be out of stock at amazon right now.
With the THATTECHSHOW one it's 58 total.
Also, their shipping seems crazy fast. I ordered it Sunday night/Monday morning around midnight I think. It's already gone from Japan to Chicago to only being two hours away from where I am in Louisiana at the moment so hopefully it'll arrive tomorrow or Saturday.
Not bad for traveling around the world.
I suggest getting it from amazon (the links were given in some previous posts above). I bought mine from amazon for 46.95 including the free super saver shipping. It even arrived a day early. #
I wish I could say the same. I ordered on the 27th and its the 31st and no case yet !
And yes, I do have a prime account. I checked the tracking status and is still in transit ... I don't know how that happened. Anyways, contacted Amazon and told them my story and they are going to refund me $46.95 back my account because they missed their delivery date miserably and told me to enjoy my item when it finally arrives. So in the end it worked well for me
