When in the world will they have the Synthesis available :confused:

I read on their MySpace page that there was a problem with the original molds and they have since ordered a new engineering tool to adequately address the TPU to proprietary rubber combination that increases the drop protection of 3 meters to 3.1 meters. This is all very scientific and takes time.

Patchworks Level Arc case. Excellent grip, excellent buttons, nice case but I don't care for it.
This $13.99 case has one of the best grips of any case I've tried so far. No worries at all of dropping your phone while wearing this case.
The problem is that the case is bowed like a banana when the phone is not in it. Even when the phone in the case it does not lay flat when sitting down on a flat surface. It rocks back and forth which would drive me crazy. Not bad for $13.99 though.
Here's a few pictures.

Just got an email from Thanotech. Due to the new antenna locations in the new phone their bumper is now delayed to January 2019. Yay.

And as some of you know, there was a change to the iPhone that has never been done before since the introduction of the 4G iPhone and antennas. They have added a few more antennas and PC separators (seen below) on top of the original (4) lines have been accounted for in the K11 each year. That is why we have the TPU gaps so we can separate the metal on the bumper to minimize interference.

Due to this delay we now have an estimated delivery of January 2019 (one month delay for additional tests and another few weeks for the holiday overload at the factory).

I had the patchwork’s level ITG for my iPhone X and definitely thinking of picking this one up.... but in the wine color!
 
Just took off the Sheath as the Symmetry came in from Amazon today......wow, this is exactly what I’ve been looking for. The Pursuit is a little too big, the Sheath has great grip, but I wanted something a little thicker. The Symmertry is right in between both, really liking it so far.

Symmetry is the same as the Apple store exclusive “Statement” case right? My wife has a statement on her white 8 plus and it feels very sturdy, pretty grippy for a hard clear plastic case. I usually find them slippery and has not yellowed since the 8 came out. It does add a little width but feels good in hand.

There are some felt statements along with leather ones in Apple store.

What color Symmetry and was it tough to get the phone in it?

I think the Statement is a little bulkier then the Symmetry; I was interested in the Traction as that’s just like the Statement without the bottom piece but took a chance on the Symmetry. Glad I did.

I don’t think the Statement has the new improved buttons
 
Is the Symmetry the same sort of slick hard plastic it has been in the past? Wish someone would powder coat them for grip.
