Ringke Steel Bumper Case, Looks Awesome!

I think this is good thing to get the information on to the i phone accessories.The ringke bumper case is very good and it looks awesome.
 
Looks awesome, though I wish the volume buttons were cut out allowing access to the actual buttons instead of using the silicone skin. Otherwise, this black/silver bezel that imitates the look of the iPhone is the best I've seen.

I just wish they have a iPhone 4 verso :(

Looks awesome!! Like it's a naked iphone and no other bumper or case out there has been able to come this close to looking like there is nothing on the iPhone.

I am worried that the steel would do the same thing aluminum does and have a horrible impact on reception so if anyone out there a little about this please shed some light because I am 10 seconds away from buying this!

I'm at the CES and stopped at the Rearth booth and chatted with Inwon Byun and some others. I mention this forum and "TheiPhoneChick" and a couple laughed and said they remembered you and this forum. Could be BS, but they seemed on the up and up.

I tried to talk the into selling me a case on the floor, but they wouldn't. And to be fair, they aren't allowed to either. They didn't give me a 20% discount card though, which was a nice gesture.

Good folks, nice case. Their US office is based in Louisiana.
 
So my boss and I got the 4S. I showed him this case, he loved it and bought it. He had it on for about a month and I noticed he no longer used the case. I asked why and he said it killed his connection. He said losing a bar or two isn't that bad but he lives on the fringes and as he drives into work his 1-2 bars then lose 1-2 bars from the case means he loses connection completely.

Advise against for anyone without an optimal and consistent connection.
 
Fortunately, I'm usually in a place with a great connection so my Ringke works great. I love the case.

its august, still using the case?
 
I have a Ringke and I recommend to not buy it and instead spend an extra $20 for a Graft Leverage. My signal is lowered by the Ringke and I'm annoyed with it.

yes ive read the signal is degradeda little but im ina city so signal strengh is generally full bars. other then the signal issue do you like th ecase?
 
Im actually looking to buy one of these, but ringke discontinued their bumper version and now only sell the ones that cover the back, which I dont want.

If anyone has a black bumper only version and doesnt want it, drop me a PM.

Just got mine. Overall, it seems like a pretty decent case. My main gripe is that the case creates a weird buzzing sound when the phone vibrates. I think this might be caused by the two pieces of metal (since there is a little gap between the top/bottom connection). When I grip my phone tight around the connection I don't get the buzzing sound.

Is there any chance you still have this bumper?!?! I'll buy it from you if you do!!!
