This company has the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced hands down! Dro concepts will not call you back, respond to emails, or more importantly deliver what you order. I ordered a case a month ago still not a word. They will make up lies like it’s been shipped(If you call them)…. They are EXCELLENT however at taking your order, charging your card for items that they don’t carry & most likely outsource to china to manufacture.
Buyer beware! They are in indiana but there customer service is in San Diego, CA.??? You will never talk to the company, just some phone jockey who will feed you lies. I should have searched for there company first. Just Google Dro concepts in Indiana it doesn’t exist, no address, no business & no phone number!

Just rename the company Dro-Con and drop the cepts.

I read on another blog they are under new ownership and trying to turn things around. I got mine just a few days ago and it took it took 4 days with Fed-ex (I’m in Cali). I don’t know what Poey means about “took me a week to figure it out”. The case is a simple slider style case that clips together. DRO’s website and a couple of videos on youtube show exactly how it works. Personally it seems like overkill protection wise, but I really like the neoprene liner and the cosmetics of this thing are GREAT! I just bought one for my wife too

I would say! I’m really disappointed about this iphone carbon fiber case. It’s not supposed to be tbat expensive! $15.00 to $15.99 is the right prize! The quality is very poor tbe fitting is the worsiest part, it took me one week to figure it out! And extra two days to make it fit right! Whoever! Is the designer on this cases your good! But you need to go back to school! To learn how to Measure right! This is not a joke!

I bought the CF iPhone 3G case from DRO Concepts 2 months ago… but they sent me the silver version. So I returned the silver CF case the same day … but they refuse to credit my AMEX and have not returned any of my emails. I am going to report them to the small business bureau and have AMEX contact them.

Don’t buy from DRO Concepts!!!

I bought one of these cases about 2 months ago. As far as fit and functionality, the case is perfect. But there are some things I found about it that i really dont like. First there is a seam where the two sides of the case are put together, this is a terrible design flaw. This so-called super protective case broke apart at the seam when doing nothing more than sliding my phone into it.I have sent DroConcepts four emails from three different email addresses and i have not gotten a single reply. I thought that a case costing almost $100 would last me longer than 2 months. I could go to the mall buy a $10 dollar case from a kiosk and have it last longer. Secondly, and this was something i noticed on the first day, CARBON FIBER BLOCKS CELL RECEPTION! My phone displays my cell signal strength numericly (1 to 100) and I found that the case can block up to 20% of the signal. In low signal areas I have to take my phone out of the case if I want to make or receive any calls.

I’ve purchased of of these cases and totally love it! By far my favorite case out of the 8 cases I’ve already bought. Someone said something above about the proximity sensors…. The case does not interfere with these at all. All the auto screen backlight adjustment and auto off when answering a call all works perfectly with this case on my phone.

I ordered one of these. It is a very nice case, but the one I received had a fatal flaw. When I slid the phone into it, it cracked down the seam on the volume rocker side.

DRO took it back and issued me a credit. I never tried another one, as the cracking cemented my perception of the case.

Price and aesthetics are opinions. Personally, I wouldn’t mind purchasing one and like the look. As far as cretouch goes, I don’t see any carbon fiber cases there.

If you are looking for carbon fiber case of iPhone 3G, take a look this site. cretouch.com. They sell it for $19.99 which is way cheapter than $85. The case is slim design and nice fit for iPhone 3G.

$85 is waaay too much for any phone case. Especially one that ugly.

That is a great point. It did not occur to me.

Thanks

The case needs to be open around the headphone because that is where the proximity sensor (to detect when you have the phone against your head) and the ambient light sensor (to detect when the screen needs to brighten or dim) is. Just FYI, it’s not just form, it’s also function.
