does/has anyone make a real carbon fiber case? i would think that it would offer one of the best possible bend/damage protection for the size.

if im not mistaken, carbon fiber is supposed to be stronger than steel right?
 
A friend of mine purchased a genuine carbon fibre case from eBay - he has had to remove it as he said it killed his Cellular signal!

Yup, carbon fibre is not very radio-transparent. Bad case material, IMO. Don't get caught up in the hype.

wow, did not know that. since carbon fiber isnt metal, i thought it would not interfere with cell/radio signals.

thanks for the info. now back on the hunt for a good case :)
 
Evutec (http://www.evutec.com) had a cool kevlar case for the iPhone 5, we'll have to see how good the 6 is:

Really need someone to step up and innovate on the carbon fiber front to produce a very thin (.5mm or less thick) case which would be more rigid than steel.

Would be willing to pay $100 for a case like this.

i am too.. but to be honest, i think itll cost more that $100. :(
 
still waiting on this company to respond to request for eta on 6 plus.

does anyone have experience with this case on the 6?
 
just curious as to why someone would want to put a plastic carbon fiber case on there aluminum iphone. i thought that was one of the key points to buying an iphone was to get a way from the plastic stuff.:D

i dont think it's plastic. unless i skimmed wrong, it's real carbon kevlar. should improve rigidity of the phone.

How much would you pay for this hideous thing?

I had the carbon fiber shell from Evutec for my 5S and I LOVED IT! I emailed Evutec asking if they will create a carbon fiber shell for the 6+ and below is the response I got...

"We will be launching our cases for the 6 plus and our new “SI” Series (available for Samsung GS5, iphone 6 and iPhone 6 plus) soon! Be in the loop for future launch dates of our new products by signing up on our newsletter at our website or like us on Facebook!

my point was that carbon fiber is part of the plastic family. do your research and google it.

even so, it would be exponentially stronger. that's my point.
