Can you tell me if it has any effect on the signal strength? Mine is shocking, and I have read one other similar post. It really is completely unfit for the purpose!

You may be referring to my previous post concerning this case. "Not fit for purpose" is what I had to quote several times to Expansys before they eventually agreed to a refund.
I couldn't believe how badly the Noreve affected signal strength but extensive testing alongside the Imak Count case from Obostore (which had negligible effect) confirmed beyond doubt.
Try cutting out the metal threaded bit from the back of the case - see whether it makes any difference.
In my house I can surf the web no problem without the case when in my bedroom, with the case I cannot even connect to the network... very good case, but yes, big problem with radio sensitivity.

Is that WiFi, 3G or 4G?
BTW, I have been offered a 50% discount due to the large cost of returning the cases from Oz. I have accepted and will try to remove some of the metal. If this succeeds I shall post my findings.

I see many variants of this and was wondering if anyone has tried it. if so can you let me know your thoughts? Maybe some photos of the phone with the case. I am really thinking of getting it.

Will do, first person to get it post
I'm using one that's nearly identical --
http://www.amazon.com/Cimo-Hybrid-H...8&qid=1368653617&sr=1-4&keywords=cimo+htc+one
I like it! Simple, doesn't add much bulk. Only issue with it is the volume rocker is covered up by a harder rubber material, so there is no longer any tactile feedback with presses.

Hi guys, no a long time ago we saw a chinesse website selling Iphone-like aluminum case for GS3. But this website was WAY too creepy and unsecure. I've found the same product over here : www .casefanatic.com/samsung-2/galaxy-s3/metal/hunterf-galaxy-s3-thin-alu-bumper-case/ no spacing
on a secure website and with a lot of choise for color !
I've ordered one today ! :laugh:
looks like an ad...
look cool
If you want your phone to look like an iPhone then but am iPhone and not some cheap look alike.
Even come topped off with a brushed bezel haha
Well, not a bad idea, I wonder about the reception quality though since a metal case also shields the built in antenna..
I have one, and I have to say that I have got it not because I want my phone to look like an iPhone, but I like the metal touch and sturdiness my SG3 has now.
I have notice some minor wifi signal but has far as gsm, there was no loss (that was one of mine concerns).
I can say that I am happy with the results.
Ordered mine today.
hmm thinking of getting this case but some comments on the video said it blocks service. can anyone confirm?
You can buy it from ebay for 18 dollars seach ultra thin case samsung galaxy s3

looks good but...
wifi and cellular reception will drop dramatically. I used this. no doubt it gave the phone an awesome looks and feel but i couldn't live with very low reception.
Just received it, it's really nice. Haven't noticed any difference in signals. Still need to check NFC.
Ordered the black/silver. Don't like the combo, so I'll be ordering the all silver.
I'm going to start telling people it's the iPhone 5S/6... Lol.

Where are you located?
I don't have this case but I tried using a different case with a metal backing and NFC (including S-Beam) is blocked. It was only the backing and not all around so I can't say for sure if the signal strength will be affected by this case. Looks very cool though.
in uk as well quick look

It looks to be pretty new so it will probably take a week or two before you see anyone receive their order. I order one a couple days ago.
Sent from my HTC One
I would t think it would NOT effect any antennas...the phone is aluminum alloy anyway...from my prior readings that's why they have the rubberish lines on the back of the phone...for antenna use.
But these look pretty cool. If order one if someone said they were decent enough.
Edit::I ordered one... Should have it by the end of the month...I'll post pics and opinion at that time.

aluminum bumper
im using this metal bumper right now. it does affect the signal because i compared the speed test results with and without the aluminum case but its not that much. i still get around 35mpbs on LTE signal. no GPS issues either.
i bought the one from that link also. i like it but it doesnt protect the back of the phone.
here's mine. with 3M Dinoc in the back

Does it affects the phone signal ?
2 things:
1) Phone signal. Both CF and AL are NOT RF transparent.
2) IR blaster. It's covered.
That is all.

This in theory. I don't have the case. All I'm saying is, unless the people who designed this case are absolute genii, this case is either a) going to have signal issues or b) be made out of materials other than just CF and AL.
Just recieved mine today, the red with black back, im not keen as it makes the phone look quite big, reception wise i didnt keep it on long enough to fully tell, but it did knock a bar off my reception, also ir/power button is metal so ir blaster will not work with case on.

good thing you didn't buy it, it looks amazing the bad things are,
its incredibly bulky and very bad reception
i usually had 1-2 bars at home not good reception but something.
NOW i have completely no reception. I'm not using this case. it is completely horrible for me.
I even researched online where the antenna of the phone is and the whole back is an antenna, but because of the case all the antennas are touching each other.
Like this phone has the same issue as the iphone 4 (bad grip) signal issue. not complaining i love the phone more then any other phone out there. just with it had better reception or i had better reception at home

The back cover look too shiny for me, but look forward to seeing your review on metal bumper.
I had some ebay bucks so I grabbed one I will post some pics when i get it and post a review.
DO NOT BUY THIS CASE! I just got mine and it just feels cheap, the "carbon fiber" backing is not good, but I would say the worst part is the chrome sides, if they just left it all one color and didn't have the "bling" studs on the case it would be much better. Also doesn't help as soon as I out it on just for kick my reception tanked. Stay far away, I'm glad I just spend some spare eBay bucks on it and not any money.
Thanks for that I was just about to buy one as well.
In addition to the signal issue and the IR blaster being covered, there may be a third problem -- the noise-cancellation microphone hole on the right upper corner of the back is covered by the case. This will very likely affect the clarity of voice, as the noise cancellation mechanism is impaired.
Just got this a couple days ago. It's great but don't know yet how well it holds up. I think it may be messing with my reception but I still need to test it out some more.

The price is great...although I'm curious how much it affects signal. If it's only a few dBm I'd probably buy one.

Any updated opinions? Does the charging connector fit into the phone okay with it on?
By the way, is yours the grey color?
