If you guys remember the all aluminum bumper available on ebay for $65? well the silver one is down to a much more palatable $18. just ordered mine and it should be in in a week are two. unfortunately the black one is still $65. links are below.

Silver:

Black: (reference)

EDIT:
ok so i've had the case for a couple weeks and have had time to thoroughly examine it...
IMO it is a beautiful case, it does make the phone larger much like every other case. at first it does feel larger because it has a wider girth than most other cases. you will get people to comment saying "thats a big phone" it happens alot lol
the edges near the screen are actually a little sharp, the company didn't smooth the edges very well. its not gonna cut you or anything like that but it is noticible for the first few days, much like its size. another con is that many 3.5mm headphone cable don't fit well if they are very wide cables...the headphones i use and the aux cord in my car fit without a problem but the one in my mom's car (tape to 3.5mm adapter) does not fit, nor does the one i use to play music on my home theatre system.

it is a beautiful case and adds a good amount of weight, both giving it a more premium feel...overall i'm happy and will suggest it to anyone. with the only con being that some headphones may not fit, all other you can easily get over. i bought the silver one and mixed it with a blue brushed aluminum textured skin from skinit.com, and it looks sexy haha

i like it, but if you want a small case that you'll barely notice, i'd choose a different case

I'm ordering the black one, most likely.

How long did shipping take?
How is the build quality?
Any pictures that are user posted?

Once these questions are answered then I will buy. Spectacular find though!

I know, that's why I said once these questions are answered then I will order.

Another concern I have is covering the microphone. I wonder if this will cause concern.

    Did you guys get the tools to take it apart? I just got the case but no way to take the screws out.
