Casemate Brushed aluminum phone cover !!

**chrispmoto** · 02-12-2013, 08:12 PM

Just picked up my new Casemate cover from Crackberry today. Super stoked, even more beautiful in real life !!
Used Otterbox for years, wanted something else. The Otterbox was too bulky, and was "sticky" going into my smallish media player pocket in ski jacket.
This case just slides right in, and into my jeans pocket WAY BETTER. The downside, is the case almost feels "slippery" and I really have to
concentrate not to drop it. Maybe just because it is so new, I am paranoid. Also, this case is more "bling" than protection compared to the Otterbox.
It looks super amazing though, thank you Crackberry (my first purchase from them) and Case Mate!

Case looks great. Will have to keep that in mind if I decide to purchase a Z10. Still on the fence!

That's hot! Since my profession involves brushed stainless and aluminum, this would be awesome if I didn't need more damage protection from a case.

Does that interfere with NFC?

It looks really good.

That's a hot case. I'd also like to know if it interferes with your NFC

Is that as sexy in real life as it is in the photos?

I've got the real wood version that has laminated Tigerwood on the back. Same design otherwise. I think it's slightly easier to type but does take away a be bit from the sleek look from the front. Looks a bit like a iPhone 3. But you're always going to get that from a case. It does seem a lot less fragile.

Looks great!!! Do you use an OEM holster? Does it fit?

**chrispmoto** · 02-12-2013, 08:55 PM

No holster, dont know, same with NFC, dont have it anywhere out here. It looks even BETTER in real life. I love it. I was going to go with the wood look also, but reading their (Casemate) I sounded
more of the "metal type" guy !!

Pretty sure it is a brushed aluminum look, and is a plastic back isn't it? That is what their site shows. So it wouldn't interfere with the NFC.
I picked up the BlackBerry transformer case that just snaps on the back. Ingenious. Gives me a kick stand. Feels good. Not slippery, and protects the screen when it is face down. Plus it will let me use the side charger with no difficulty.

Yes, aluminum look, but plastic.

I have the same case with the rosewood back (very retro). Put on a screen protector and switched from the flip case. As others have said takes away from the sleek lines a little but feels very good. It doesn't interfere with function at all.

looks great, great purchase

Has anyone found a holster that fits this case? I have the blackberry holster, but it doesn't fit the extra bulk this adds. I love this case, but I miss the convenience of a holster.
