HAs anyone read the warning they have that says it will scratch your iphone??/ Did it scratch yours? Here's the quote from their site:

WARNING: Insertion and removal of your iPhone into your FlakJacket 100% Carbon Fiber protective case will cause scuffing and potentially light scratches to your iPhone body. In cleanroom laboratory settings, scuffing is minimal and mostly undetectable to the naked eye. Your FlakJacket is intended to remain on your iPhone for the maximum protection possible. CREATIVE COMPOSITES IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY SCUFFING OR SCRATCHES THAT MAY OCCUR TO YOUR IPHONE DURING INSERTION OR REMOVAL INTO YOUR FLAKJACKET. To minimize potential scuffing and scratches to your iPhone, keep your FlakJacket protective case where it belongs, wrapped snuggly around your iPhone.

I got mine a couple of days ago and it's pretty cool. However, I just got a notice from the President of the company. There is a brand new design coming which fixes a reception problem in bad reception areas and the sensor block fix. They seem pretty committed to keeping us happy.

Here's the body of the email I got.

"We at Creative Composites are committed to our customers and delivering the best products on the market. Recently you were shipped a FlakJacket for the iPhone and we thank you for your order. However, we have found during testing that in certain areas with low reception from AT&T that the iPhone with your version of the FlakJacket does not received the best reception possible. Our team of designers have developed and delivered a far better design with superior reception capabilities which has no degree of reception degradation.

Because we value you as a customer, we will be shipping you a brand new, completely redesigned FlakJacket for your iPhone. There is no need to return your current FlakJacket. We will be posting new images of the FlakJacket in the next few days. Shipping is scheduled to begin in one week.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you and we appreciate your patience. We stand by our products with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Sincerely,

After many emails, and still no case I just emailed demanding a refund.

Too bad, he seemed nice in his emails, product looked great, but worse customer service I have dealt with.

Sorry to hear that. For the guy who did receive the case...i'm with everyone else. Can you post a picture so we can see what i looks like on your phone. Its hard to really tell with the photo on their site.

Got press release March 06 via email stating iFlak Jacket for iPhones are available from R. Henson (president of Creative Composites). March 07, I placed order for the iFlakJacket. Since then, I placed numerous phone calls and emails to R. Henson. no response to any of the emails and phone messages. The only thing that works right is the shopping cart and PayPal since it is independent from Creative Composites.

sorry to hear about that. They're carbon fiber doesn't look good at all. It should at least be vacuum pumped or something. I mean you can see the weaves still. It's supposed to be completely flat like aluminum and look flawless like belcho's one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/24628227@N08/2325383393/
