Very nice! That's a hot looking case for sure...
Any signal degredation or all is as expected?
I have had a lot of cases..this looks odd at 1st but after putting it on the phone its awesome..feels great in the hand too..love it
Yeah, mine's doing some hanging out in Miami the past couple of days, according to the tracking number. Damn Postal Service...I can get something from Georgia to Cali in 2 days sometimes, yet they are taking all week to get this case from Florida to Georgia...1 state away.
Spoke too soon! My Diamondback was in my mailbox at work today, even though the tracking number still showed it in Miami. Will post pics in a bit. Great looking case though! I got the all black version.
this aluminum case is going to give the phone horrible reception and i cant wait to see user reviews! Never choose metal!
Here are some very quick photos of my black/black that I received today. So far, I'm really liking this case. I'll have my full review up (with much better photos) in a few days, after I've done all my standard testing.

Hi chris975d, so there is no front lip ?
A very subtle one, but not anything pronounced. Just enough to keep the screen off of a table's surface if placed face down on it.
Yah thats what i noticed from the pics you provided. IIRC, the early model pics showed a healthy front lip with the case covering a bit of the glass at the edges. I really liked the looks of that design.
I was on the fence with the price being at $200, but with no front lip, Im going to pass on this one. It is a stunning looking case though, especially in the silver/white color.
I never understood that. What do you plan on cradle-ing on a table with the face down requiring a big lip
Lose change? water drop?
Chris one question I see a photo that the case has a part pealing off ? like the old atomic cases

Pocket ergonomics, plus cases with healthy front lips protect the front screen better. Ask me how I know
Actually, I just like the looks of cases that cover just a bit of the edge of the front glass (something like the iChair or the old Incipio slider style cases). I dislike the gaps visible otherwise, looks ugly and detracts from an otherwise stunning case.
Its still is a very good looking case (need any color other than black on the front).......maybe I'll get it if I find it for half price, lol

Chris what happen to the 25% code ? I remember that u says that atomic will have one for macrumor member
Its heavier than any case I have used but you really can't tell it. If you didn't know then it wouldn't be even noticeable.
I wonder how heavy it will be. By the looks alone it could stop a bullet.
