iPhone 5 - Page 137

When you read up about their cases or view the youtube videos, it's pretty common to lose a bar or two or three of service when the case is on. Brass cases are worse about this than the aluminum. Have only seen the brass on a clients phone. Users love them or hate them but they look great.
You have to screw the case together when it's on the phone. If my CC reader wouldn't fit with the case on then I would have to unscrew the case to remove it. Too much hassle.

Interesting considering the regular housing is made of aluminum as well.

Yeah, go figure. If you go over there, ask them what gives with the poor service comments.

This is beautiful work



The only case I can't get is made from kryptonite, for obvious reasons.

I will see if they are "open to the public" but their website says this:

About Reception

We test out our iPhones in all of our cases but in some areas reduced reception or spotty reception is more apparent with the brass case. If you feel like you live in an area or use your phone throughout areas with spotty reception we suggest you purchase an aluminum case. All colors and styles of aluminum prove to have consistently better reception than our brass versions. We made the brass because we love its beauty and most people won’t have any problems, though we cannot guarantee this for everyone. Our brass cases have been our biggest sellers and most customers are happy and continue to buy a second (or third) brass case, but if you are worried about this we suggest the aluminum. If you do want to try the brass, I’m sure you will LOVE it, but if it isn't’t the case for you, you are welcome to exchange it or return it with in a week or so of receiving it.



The wood cases are really beautiful, however, you people might make fun of me for this, but since I don't wear brown shoes, or anything brown for that matter I am against getting the wooden case for matching purposes... Maybe if they had an ebony case I would get that one...

Totally serious. It is well documented on Style Forum.

Get this in Blackened Ash from casemate



lower cost, wood back, aluminum sides that follow the shape of the phone. They make this in zebrawood too

I don't like the logo... Plus, I like supporting artisans and such.

Would you prefer an alligator or polo logo?

Hmm, that's a tough call. Can I say a hanging sheep? Is that an option?

Aluminum



Black and brass

Was not aware. I'm sorry you have this issue. Perhaps in time you will feel comfortable enough to seek help.

That's just it, I feel comfortable enough not to seek help.

Whatever, farmer.
