Scratching - So what do you guys say, is this case really scratches the phone? Do you think that problem is a deal braker or just specific issue for some costumers?

Not sure about others, have been very careful with it but scratches already appear, it is not so obvious and not a deal beaker. Still loving it.

This casing is make of poly-carbonate, sure prompt to scratches with certain amount of use and after the special coating wear off, it will get worst.

Previous PSAJ for iphone 5s already full of scratches, but still supporting PSAJ for its fitting, feel and looks great.

Are you talking about scratches on the case itself or on the iPhone? It makes sense that the AJ case will get some scratches after some time, but if you talked about the device itself it a deal breaker - case should prevent the iPhone from scratches and not make them.

Sorry for my wrong respond, the case does not seem to scratch on my phone even if I remove it. Thanks for pointing this out.

Have used Power Support Air series cases on everything Apple starting with the iPhone 3G. The 3G, my 4, and 5 all look brand-new to this day after two years of hard use, each.

The PS cases also saved my 4 and 5 from drops onto asphalt and concrete, respectively. Combined with the PS screen protector, the 4 survived a 4 foot drop off my motorcycle seat onto a pebble-strewn asphalt surface. When I picked the phone up I thought the screen had been dinged- turned out the protector took all the damage along with a corner of the case. Similar story with the 5, but on to a side, not the screen and corner.

That's why my 6+ is in a Power Support clear Air Jacket. (My MBA is in a PS Air series cover as well).
 
I wouldn't say that it doesn't get scratches. I think that would be misleading. I have one on my iPad Air, doesn't NEARLY get the use of my iPhones and it shows a decent amount of scratches on the back. That being said, the fit is awesome and I still don't regret getting it.
 
Matte

Anyone got pictures of the Matte version on Silver 6? Dont want to get the clear as i hate how it starts to look once it gets scuffed and scratched.

The silver looks amazing with the clear matte. It is literally the best case money can buy for the iPhone 6. I had both the silver and space grey but ended up giving away my silver 6 after debating between the two. I'll try to post photos of my space gray and clear matte.

Please do post a pic. I have the silver 6 and am thinking about getting this case

I would love to see more pics of a space grey iPhone 6 with clear matte AJ - if you can please take some pics of the back and front :)

Thanks for that. I think i am gonna go ahead and get the matte. Anyone using an edge to edge SP with these? Do they play well together?
 
Spent some time using a clear Air Jacket on a silver iPhone 6 Plus yesterday. Really beautiful, minimalist case. It was a bit slippery however. Also, the camera cutout was indeed very close to touching (if not touching) the edge of the camera. Not really a huge deal imo and it doesn't affect camera captures at all. No creaking or give whatsoever on the sides of the Air Jacket i used, so it seems to be a QC issue with some cases but definitely not all.

I used it with one of the revised PS crystal films and I have to say, the cutout is not as bad as people make it out to be. It might look worse on the Space Grey iPhones but on iPhones with the white bezel, the edges of the film blend nicely into the bezel so you can barely see it.

By the way, anybody who was promised a replacement Air Jacket receive theirs yet? I'm wondering if some were shipped out and shipping notifications just weren't sent out. I hope so because I was told mine was gonna ship out last Monday and I haven't heard a peep since then.

I'm still waiting. No reply or tracking number yet. Will email them again today.

They didn't send me a shipping notification for my replacement and I got mines on the 18th when I requested on the 13th.

Does the case have a grip to it or is it slippery?
 
Is the AJ thinner than some of the TPU cases available? Like, say the Rock 0.6mm?
Air Jacket is twice thicker at 1.2mm than the Rock 0.6mm? However, I cannot find any reviews of the Rock 0.6mm case. If you Google it, the search results point to Ebay, alienxpress.com, etc. and nothing in YouTube.

Please post Clear Matte on iPhone 6 space gray. Thanks!
 
Really loving the look of this case and pretty much ready to pull the trigger on ordering but now I've run into a problem. I currently have an order in for a mounting plate to use my Moment lens on my 6+. Never had a problem using one underneath my cases with my 5s but now I'm wondering if it might be enough to throw off the fit of this case given that it seems to be so precise. The mounting plate is about half the thickness of a credit card, just wondering what those of you that have this case think.

There are thinner cases out there. There was one other brand I prefer in minimalistic cases that is a lot thinner (forgot the name, but they sold out)... but there is one thing I do like about the thicker air jacket case. It's thick enough to protect the protruding camera if you lay it on its back hard. I may still buy that thinner case when they have them in stock again... damn... I always forget the name of that case... LOL...
 
I emailed Graham from Powersupport again, and his reply to me was that all replacement cases were sent out at the end of the working week last week.

I too sent him an email on the 15/10, and I am still waiting to get my replacement case... Hopefully it will be in sometime this week.

I am using a clear matt for my iPhone 6 plus... And the creaking has gotten worst over time as it seems like the case has "stretched"??

It's gotten to a point whereby even the bottom left side of the case allows the phone to move....

Probably just my bad luck on purchasing a defective cases :(

Are you referring to the Shumuri case?
 
Anybody tried to use the Air Jacket on iPhone 6 with back protector on it? does it still fits perfectly?

Just received mine and had that same issue. The phone could move back and forth at the bottom. With the plastic being able t stretch if you are someone who may remove your case every now and then it will get worse. While I like the case, which is surprisingly grippy, the movement will drive me nuts. It's black Apple leather case for me again.

Very disappointing from power support.... Well i will see how my replacement case fits and update here again..
