yah these things must be going fast! I hope some retailers get them soon..ie apple!! I really wanted this case yesterday but I am liking the simplicity of my slider. Anyone out there want a case mate carbon fiber? I won one in itsmemorpious' mass giveaway and really have no use for it anymore, leather isnt my thing
 
I have the gray and orange. It's nice, but not exactly what I expected. The interior isn't really soft (it doesn't give much to the touch), it's more of a soft feel. Definitely more of a hard rubber than silicon. This makes it a little tricky to hit the volume rocker and power button, but it's not too big of a deal. Also, the headphone hole is really small. If you use something larger than the apple set, good luck. And just like brickshot mentioned on the youtube review, getting to the vibrate switch is a pain. I've got decent size hands with no fingernails, and I can only use my pinky, or the side of a fingertip.

All that aside, it's a pretty sweet case. Feels really nice, doesn't add much bulk, and the grippy interior is awesome. The build quality is really nice. The interior feels seamless, and the rubber material completely surrounds the phone, so no need to worry about scratches from the plastic. And yeah, about the possible sagging again, it's not happening. Unless you can magically stretch a hard plastic, it's staying in place. Btw, the gray plastic is definitely going to collect a ton of little hairline scratches, but it hides them well, you need to angle it into light to see anything.

Whew, that was a lot of typing. Anyway, I think I still like my Luxe more than this anyway, so it may be for sale shortly, we'll see.
 
yu hve explained it very well..thnx a lot...well i am planning to buy black n yellow and dark grey n green...
 
thanks jmittens for your thoughts on the case. I really want one of these now but I only have 26 days left with my iPhone until I go to marine bootcamp so it seems pointless to buy a case if I am not going to have my phone for 3 months. I will definately be buying this when I get back in may though, i want that white and red!!!
 
The scratching on the back was another concern i had, thanks for the info. I think i am going to pick one of these up instead of a slider. It seems like it would protect better.
 
Has anyone found these things in stock anywhere? The speck site said they are "available at apple retail stores and apple.com" but none of my stores have them in stock and it isn't on the apple website store either. Boo. :(
