I bought this case largely on the basis of the positive feedback, which I read on my phone. (Yes, only myself to blame!)
Something of a mistake. The majority of the reviewers giving this item 5 stars have written no other review. Normally I would check and exclude such reviews from consideration.
On to the item itself. It fits the phone well - it's in two parts, which creates a sort of lip around the screen of the phone, and protects the rest of the phone including the buttons - but it isn't aluminium. The back of the case has a piece of aluminium stuck to it, but that's as far as it goes. The case is actually plastic, so is pricey for what you actually get. I have had no difficulty synching by Apple lead or by sticking it into a Logic3 radio.
So fine as a plastic case, but over-priced. If the addition of an aluminium backplate is important to you - as well as the cosmetic effect, it adds rigidity to the case, though I'm not sure how much protection - then this might be the right case for you. I'm keeping it on (the other case I bought is on the shelf - there is a review of it) unless I see something better.
I did actually buy it from Case Buddy, by the way!
