Hello all. I've been through my fair share of cases and today I'm going to give you a short and simple review of one that I couldn't find much information on before purchasing. Here we go.
The case is called the Diamondback Ultra from Atomic Industries. You can find their website here: http://atomiciphonecase.com/
They really only have one or two pictures of the white case, so I uploaded a few I took myself here:

I'll start off with what I like:
What I don't like:
As I said, I'm not looking to write a multiple page review. I just wanted to hit on some of the major things I noticed about this case. I was really looking forward to getting this case and now I'm disappointed. I'm going to use it for another day or two and make my final decision, but I think I will end up returning it. It's just not what I expected at all.
On a side note, the case came with Atomic's version of a screen protector. The application was pretty annoying. There's still a ton of air bubbles in it but those usually work themselves out over time. Also, I tried emailing their sales department with a few basic questions about two weeks before ordering the case and never heard back from them. Just something to consider.

I'll start off with what I like:
- The backplate: The design really does look pretty cool
- The camera cutout: It's large enough that there are no light refraction issues.
- The screwdriver it comes with is pretty nice.
What I don't like:
- The color: In most lighting, it looks cream colored next to my white 4S.
- The feel: It feels cheap. No other way to put it.
- No shock protection: The black lining on the back plate is not rubber. It's just black plastic.
- The sleep button: It's almost too snug. Sometimes I'll check my phone and it will be asking me if I want to turn it off or not.
- The fitment: It makes the phone look fat. Also, the four screws in the corners don't keep the sides together well, so there is a hairline gap on the left side.
