AMAZING!
This case is nice and sleek. But i did a big crash on my bike and it got all banged up. Not saying its a bad quality, I'm saying that my phone is still alive and works fine thanks to this case! Awesome product!

I love this case!!!!
This case rocks!!! It's tough, stylish, thin, lightweight and allows easy access to the buttons. It has a snug fit so it stays on and doesn't come off too easy. It seems like the brushed aluminum helps keep it from being too slippery if I set it on my lap or something. I tried a few other cases (different types and even different brands) that had the phone buttons (power and volume) covered as part of the case, but it made it tough and uncomfortable to push the buttons. This is a pain since you have to push the power button every time you want to use the phone. I did have one or two drops so far with it on and no phone damage, so good job there. You guys nailed it with this case design. I'm praying that y'all make one just like it for the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket. :)

Great look, horrible experience
Bought this through a friend who got a discount as an employee. I loved the way it looked and it seemed like it could handle a drop fairly well. Then I started to actually use my phone.
My GPS would never get a lock. If it did, it did it for about 10 seconds, then went back to "Searching for satellites".
I got a new phone thinking I had a bad one. this one did the same thing. I returned it and decided to not root/custom rom my new phone. It did the same thing.
On an off chance, I posted on a forum asking for help and someone mentioned that if my case had any metal in it, to get rid of it. I ditched the case, and my GPS works 100% now.

I really wanted to like this case
As much as I wanted to love this case, I couldn't. I've used many Case Mate products before and I am just disappointed in them for the lack of quality of this case.
There is a noticeable issue with the case fitting the bezel on the top right corner of the phone. The lip of the case fails to properly wrap around the front bezel.
There is also the connectivity problems that come with this case. GPS has especially weakened with this case on.
Other than that, I like the quality material that this case is built out of and feels very sturdy. Unfortunately though as of this writing, this is really the only choice for a decent case for this phone on the market. Time will tell if better choices come about.

barely there
Now I need a cover for my cover. It is so nice and fresh. In my opinion about the weight of the phone I think it adds the perfect weight balance. The phone itself is light and everytime I hold my phone I felt like I was going to drop it. The barely there case adds perfect balance to my new phone.
I read the previous review and I tried speedtesting with and without the cover and it is very little speed compromising. This cover is so far the best case for this phone, you won't regret it.

Perfect fit and finish but, hurts network connectivity
I can't say enough about how the case looks and fits, perfect in everyway. There is only one major problem, your phone and data speeds suffer when you use the case. I have run several speed tests and the results are dramatically less with the case on your phone. Somehow the metal back cover blocks signal.
