Review: ElementCase - Nickel Edition

Shortly after the iPhone 4 came out, the guys over at ElementCase.com decided they were going to make a case that matches the looks and feel of the metal antenna of the iPhone 4. They have succeeded. At first they only had the standard Vapor line of cases: CNC machined metal bumper-style cases in multiple colours. Then, as their operation expanded, they added some new products to their line, including the Extreme Metals series of cases, among which was the Limited Edition Satin Nickel case. At first it was a little hard to justify spending nearly $100 on a phone case – one made of signal-attenuating metal, no less – let alone an extra $40 for the Satin Nickel edition. It also didn't help that with all the initial demand for the cases my place in the pre-order line had gotten lost for almost 6 months, during which time I had to use a "regular" case, which wasn't nearly as nice as the ElementCase, but which let enough time pass by for the Nickel edition to become available. An unfortunate coincidence with a happy ending, I suppose. I tried a few of the then-free iPhone 4 free case program cases (nice, but too bulky for my liking), a few Otterboxes (way too bulky compared to the naked iPhone), and a handful of generic cases (none terribly good). While most of them offered the kind of drop protection a lot of people looked for, and the kind of style that appeals to 95% of the general public, I already know I'm not part of that 95%. Even Apple's bumper case, while nice, just seemed to take away from the style they had worked so hard to get out of the iPhone 4's physical design. Finally, in early February 2011, the Nickel case showed up at my door. (Metaphorically, anyway. In reality I had it shipped to my work because I was working some long shifts that week and knew I wouldn't be home. But I digress.) It was beautiful. It made the iPhone 4'a antenna, while very nice, seem somewhat... stock, plain, standard almost. The Nickel case felt like a complementary addition to the iPhone 4's dashing good looks. It added a bit of colour and richness to the phone. There was even a metal button covering the phone's own power button. I would find out later on that it so closely matched the style and looks of the 4's band that a lot of people would think that it was part of the phone (which, I assured them, it was not). It also had a bit of a richer feel to it compared to the iPhone's stainless steel band. Whereas the stainless steel had a mostly smooth feel with a hint of a machined texture, the Nickel case emphasized its metallic roots in look and feel. It took a bit of effort to get the two parts of the case to line up exactly right, but afterwards it was like a seamless band of protective style surrounding my phone. I loved it. Until I wanted to listen to music. I soon found out that the opening for the headphone jack would only fit the slimmest of headphones, such as Apple's own included earbuds or their in-ear offering, and certain Bose headphones. While I did own Apple's in-ear headphones, they weren't as comfortable as the Shure headphones I had recently acquired. I managed to use an iPod nano-turned-watch as a workaround for a while, but that's more work than listening to music and podcasts needs to be. The other problem I ran into was attenuation: without the case I'm able to get 4-5 bars at home, living a stone's throw away from the nearest tower. With the case I was down to 2-3 bars, with the occasional complete loss of signal (although that may be a problem with the towers more than anything else since I'm far from being the only one in town with that issue). While those two issues weren't deal-breakers, either separately or even together, it does leave tend to leave one wanting if you're a music enthusiast or live in an area with a weak signal. Personally, I can insider myself lucky because I have an iPod nano watch I can use as a backup playback device for my music and podcasts (although it can't run Instacast), and there's enough network coverage in my area that I hardly ever need the extra signal strength. Overall, unless either of the above two minor issues are deal-breakers for you, I would whole-heartedly recommend the limited edition Satin Nickel Vapor case, or any other edition of ElementCase. The guys over at ElementCase go above and beyond the call of an iPhone case maker and manage to make a case that successfully surrounds the phone in a protective, stylish metal band that would make even naked iPhone purists want it. Rating (from the arbitrary rating system of the day): A-
