The ID America Gasket case for the iPhone 4 is an unusual looking slim-line brushed aluminum case that is inspired by the shape of a head gasket on an engine. The case is constructed from real brushed aluminum and has a suede inner liner to protect the back of your phone from getting scratched up.
This case will appeal tho those who prefer a slim case that provides scratch and bump protection while maintaining the slim, beautiful shape of the iPhone as much as possible. The case feels very solid and smooth when handled, and provides adequate grip. The front of the iPhone does not get a protective lip but a screen protector is included and can be used to protect the screen from scratches.
The Gasket Brushed Aluminum case is available in 4 colors, Titanium Gray, Modern Bronze (the color I chose for the review), Aluminum Silver and Vintage Gold.
There are large cutouts for the dock connector, volume buttons, mute switch, headphone jack and power/sleep button. None of the buttons are covered, and hence they work just as well as they would without the case installed. The case works perfectly with the standard Apple dock. Connecting third party headphones and charger cables also worked without any issues whatsoever. The camera gets a big round cutout on the back and I had no issues with taking pictures using flash.
All ID America cases come in a nice package and include a front and back (clear) shields (protectors) along with a cleaning cloth and squegee.
Pros:
Absolutely GORGEOUS case, very UNIQUE, sleek, slim design
Signal reception was not affected at all (even though the case is made of metal)
Generous cutouts for dock connector port and all switches/buttons, make it very amenable to dock your iPhone
Cons:
No lay on table design, no front lip to protect the glass screenRating: 4/5
Price: $29.99
