Casefanatic Kommandant aluminum case and signal degradation - Galaxy S 4 Accessories

I'm strongly considering this case but am partly worried about the aluminum causing signal degradation. For those of you who have it can you comment on this? If I'm in a relatively low signal area I'm guessing this case will render my phone useless?
The case looks sick as hell but I'm on the fence between this one and the Neo Hybrid...

I personally just want their bumper, not worth losing signal with that back plate.

I'll let you know when I get it. But it even says on the site that they have tested signal a lot with the case and the case does not pose any issues with signal.
Fear isn’t ‘evil’, it only allows us to learn our own weaknesses. When we learn our weakness, people can grow stronger and kinder.

from watching youtube reviews of their aluminum case, they generally lost 1 bar of signal.

[Q] case similar to the incipio semi rigid soft shell?

http://www.myincipio.com/iPhone-4-C...ne-4-NGP-Matte-Semi-Rigid-Soft-Shell-Case.asp
my friend has this case for his iphone and I love it. It is similar to a silicon case but it's more like a soft plastic/hard rubber. it is not sticky and it does not collect dust like a silicon case. It is pretty low profile and doesn't add much bulk. It has a lightly textured finish and it's not glossy so it doesn't show prints. Does any one know of a case that is comparable?
Hi,
It may not be exactly what you are looking for, but I think you may like this one based on what you said. I'm pretty happy with it.

You can buy it from: http://www.amazon.com/Premium-Thermoplastic-Polyurethane-Universal-Silicone/dp/tech-data/B004PJY8P0
Just so you know, their picture is crappy (you'll see that their picture doesn't look anything like my pictures), but the actual product looks like the ones I posted here. I don't know why they don't post better pictures. More people would buy it if they did lol.

LG Nexus 4 E960 Soft Cover Rubber Gel Case

Has anyone tried these? Do you have pictures? Mine is on the way but I probably should have asked first. They seem a bit thicker than the S-line cases and others that came before

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
that definitely wraps over the top edge more than the diztronic i am using. which means that moving icons and widgets across screens will be even worse.
pics. Don't mind the less than awesome background. It is raised above the edge but I don't think more than the s-cases. and it attracts particles like a mother.

what do you guys think about this case?

Kinda cool I think..(just kinda) I just found it weird and interesting lol
But I wouldn't really get it cause that's too much metal around the phone (if it really is metal)
and it would mess up reception and of curse battery life like crazy

Same thing as this:
Not my cup of tea. I like that its different though.
Looks cool and unique, but also makes the phone look gigantic IMO. That or the guy has tiny hands in his video.
I'd be concerned about having to slide the phone into the case since it appears to be metal (?). I'd be afraid of the screen or sides getting scratched if the metal was even the slightest bit warped due to manufacturing defect or just a drop or something.
All my opinion. Overall, it isn't something I'd buy because I like slim cases and hate flip cases. But it sure is different.

Devilcase M9 Series Aluminum Bumper Case + Skin

During a long time I have always liked the Devilcase bumper cases, but since almost no one seems to talk about them here on XDA I was a little cautious. Last month I decided to give them a Chance and I ordered my M9 Series Aluminum Bumper case and a few Vinyl Skins and now I blame myself for not ordering before!
I'm gonna let you some pics for your viewing pleasure. The skins are textured so the Spider web one has like a raised Hex design and the other ones have a Vinyl record feel to them. I'm really Satisfied with their products
The bad thing is that GPS accuracy seems to suffer because of the bumper case, Phone signal seems to be unaffected tho....
Enjoy!

Ipaky Design Case Mi5 (Gold)

Thinking about getting this case. Seems good and is curved at the back just like the way Mi5 original body is. And would look perfect if you have one for the Gold Mi5s.
Any opinions?

iPAKY looks better than Imak Case http://pl.aliexpress.com/item/Origi...er-Fashion-Luxury-Color-Baby/32645757737.html
Hi, I got this case by accident, and I can assure you it's absolutely dreadful.
I haven't even managed to fit my phone in it correctly and it definitely does not offer much in terms of protection.
(it's very low profile/thin etc. but I don't care if I can't put my phone in it)
My advice would be to absolutely avoid it.
The same manufacturer makes a pretty decent one .
It not nearly as thin and discrete but it offers real protection and has a (very small) front lip that protects the screen.
That's the only decent one that I found.
