Ringke Steel Bumper Case, Looks Awesome!

Got mine today. 1 thing I noticed was that if you have the side protectors like the zagg or bodyguardz the steel bumper won't close, I had to take mine off.
Sorry for the blurry pics, they were taken with the isight.

Signal loss is kind of a bummer. Anyone read or come across anything about the ringke slim case for the iPhone 4/4s?
On page 3 sorry. None in my hand though, not sure why you would need that though. Just curious??
It's supposed to come with a front and back set. Contact the company and let them know about it.
In a way it's good they don't have a version for the iPhone 4 available. I'd be tempted to order one if they did...
Larry Greenberg just posted a video review on YouTube for those who want a closer look at this case. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVHt7vB0C-s&feature=uploademail

Not too bad looking. I guess the question I have is how soft the silicon sleeve is and how long before the part that overlaps the screen get beat up and worn looking? I've had check silicon bumpers before that didn't look new very long.
Also, I'll bet if the case is dropped, the steel band will pop off very easily.
For the price, it seems decent though.
I may consider this one after a few weeks of favorable posted reviews.

Based on reviews, it will work on the iPhone 4. The vibrate switch won't be centered, but who cares about that?

I have dropped it already once and it didn't pop off. To be honest the fit is so tight and because of the way the hooks pull on each other there would have to be some give on one side for one of the clips to unhook and because it leaves no room for movement I find it highly unlikely that it would come off. Just what I have found using it but others may feel differently.

Your pics are really making me want to order another in the red, it looks sweet!

How come the kr site has 11 colors to choose from
But not all available at the US site
Can you post the link?

I was thinking to pick a black one with my white 4S
But it seems that the border will be too obvious
Pale color like the Lime one might get dirty easily
So the only choice is the wine red
If they can offer gray one will be appreciated
I like purple as well
I love the blue and purple! I am going to email them and ask when the US site will make the other colors available.

I ordered one too after finding this thread. Thanks TheiPhoneChick! I like the blue one from the kr site too! I hope that rearth will also start selling just the silicone part in different colors over in the States as well!
No prob! I got a response from Rearth on the color options and separate silicone bumper option. Here is what they said...
"Thank you and we appreciate your interest in our case.
At the moment we are keeping a limited number of color because it will be overwhelming for us to manage so many different colors. However, we are considering increasing our color selection but it will depend on the popularity of this case. If there are a lot of users requesting the various color then we will certainly expand our color selection.I hope this help answer your questions. Keep following us for updates on the topic. If you have any other questions feel free to let me know.
Thank you again for contacting us. ^^

So it looks like if we continue to ask for specific colors then they will get those colors in.

Now you're making me think! Nah... I'm pretty happy with my current Luxe Lean case. Thanks for the info, though.

The silicon strip is fairly flimsy. Not sure if that's by design or because of size constraints or what. The power/volume buttons feel cheap but are very responsive. Overall, it's looks good/great and should be fine provided you aren't dropping it onto concrete repeatedly (like me). Personally, I need a bigger lip/lift so I'm going to wait for Tech21's 4S bands/mesh.

I received mine and I have some bad news. it certainly does affect the signal strength on my 4S. this didn't surprise me no thanks to the crappy AT&T signal in my area. my signal has always been bad but now I can barely use my 4S with the Ringke case.
