Wrong, I take care of mine and do not abuse it. Any leather would be damaged if you drop on cement
And plastic doesn't scratch?? You need an otter box like I told you in another thread

Trust me dude these cases tear very easily, I literarly pamper my phone
Can't agree. I know more than a few people with the leather cases including myself and not one person complains of "tearing". If anything, the leather gets discolored and worn, but tear? Nope. This is the first I am hearing of this.
The smoke one has really grown on me. Contacted power support for a warranty replacement and they sent me another one, no questions asked. Not bad.
So final review on these cases?
Worth it? How is the bumper?
Does it scratch your phone when you put it on/off? Drop test?
Thanks guys. First time paying full price for a phone.. 950 for a phone. I don't consider them phones, hand held computer. But jesus, 950.

As with all cases, it's a mixed bag with these ones. I did not see any scratches on mine when taking off my first one (the black rubber version) the "force" version from Apple has the lip.
Worth it? Not sure. All iPhone cases are overpriced.

I went to Apple Store today and got exchanged my peeling Force to a clear one. I haven't opened it yet, but keeping it as a backup.
Meanwhile I received non-Force Air Jacket in Clear Matte finish directly from Powersupport. Interestingly the matte finish on this one feels very different from the matte finish on Force. I'm going to give this one a try for a while and see if it holds up better.

Did you receive it as a warranty replacement? I'm using a "force" version from the apple store and contacted power support about a replacement and they sent me another "force" version. How does their version differ from mine? Except for the lip?

love my clear non force version. its the only case i dont constantly want to take it on and off - ive taken it off just once to see how hard it was and to make sure it didnt scratch the phone for peace of mind. mine is very tight with no creaks and has barely any scratches after a good month of use. I do have a good bit of lint along the bottom since that edge goes into my pocket, and just a tiny bit around the other edges, but no lint in the back of the case since it fits so tight.
most definitely a keeper.

I just had a matte 'Force' exchanged at Apple Store where I bought it because I live very close to the store. I explained that the coating started peeling off within a week of purchase, and they verified my receipt and exchanged it. I could just return it, too.
After reading and finding out there are two different designs of Air Jacket on this forum, I separately ordered non-Force version directly from Powersupport. In addition to the lip being smaller, this one has smaller cutout for camera and flash, and easier to put on and off. Also the matte coating has a different texture to touch. It's difficult to describe, but non-Force one feels rougher. I noticed that non-Force version was made in Japan, and Force from Apple Store was made in Korea. I'll post again to let you know if non-Force version retains coating better or not.
how "wet" is the case? meaning, taking it out of your pocket and putting it back in with no struggle? I want to achieve the feel the iPhone gives me. it just glides in and out. and a phone this big needs that.
Dis coloring and wearing?
This is usually referred to as developing a patina on leather goods
Whatever the term used, it's a symptom and characteristic of the use of aniline leather and the coloring used.
Need your advice!
So I bought the AJ Force in clear matte at the Sydney Apple store around Christmas and I thought it was the most perfect case for my iPhone 6 silver until the matte exterior started peeling off. The case is also becoming very sticky and dust get stuck onto it every time I put the phone down. Also lint gets trapped around the edges as well and this drives me nuts. I really love the look and feel of this case on the phone though... Should I email PS to request for an exchange and get the non-Force one? I've seen comments that the lip is not protruding as much and the case is not as rubbery or sticky. Anyone else experiencing the matte peeling off?
Please advise! Many thanks in advance
PS: I really hate spending so much on cases so I would really like to settle on one asap. I've been considering the Apple leather case but if it was not for the fact that my iPhone is not in space grey, I would have gone for the black leather case. Other colours would wear and tear rather obviously as far as I know and do not really go well with the white front. Any ideas?

I have the smoke color AJ, force version.. I contacted PS for a warranty issue, and they sent me another force version air jacket and not the version they sell directly on their website.
