I order this case out of China about 3 weeks ago and got it in mail yesterday just had to try it. I like the look. That's the only pro for this case. Cons went from 86 db signal to 126 db. Had lte seeds at over 10 mbs dropped to 3g and could not load a Web page. Wifi dropped from full bars to spotty 40 mbs downloads to .3 mbs download. Switch back to my poetic case and ordered the slim armor in metal. Edit wanted to add that any time i touched this case my phone would light up the back and menu button. So it was conducted as a touch to the button area at the bottom of the phone.

I had almost the exact case for my N2 that I paid $60 for because it was also all aluminum but I didn't notice any signal loss nor did I drop calls so you should be good!
That's is an awesome looking case. Looks similar to the neo hybrid by spigen but with a real metal bumper. Love it. Here's the link .

I love the look, but I had this for my Note2 and it killed my LTE. No more metal cases for this guy.
The look is amazing, but a thread a few weeks back about it said there was a bar or two signal loss. Such a shame because it's such a beautiful case.

nice looking case, its missing a hole for the small s-life sensor (like the now fixed UAG)
It would be nice if the added a kick stand to it.
Had the kxx aluminum case w which was very similar. My LTE speed for reduced to half and honestly although the case looks cool and all, it made the phone heavy and slightly difficult to hold. I'm back to my slim armor

It looks nice but will attenuate the signal!
Also if you drop the phone, even from a modest height the aluminum will ding and look nasty. $60 is a lot to spend only to wind up getting it messed up and realizing you're killing your signal (which will reduce battery life) and it winds up sitting in a drawer...

Signalstrenght and everything is the same as before, did not notice anny signalproblems 3g, wifi 4g and so go on

Not trying to be that guy, but from the pic you provided the phone is using wifi but its roaming so do you actually own this case and is that roaming from the case? Every aluminum case I have seen posted here or any other phone accessory section on XDA has signal loss.
It looks nice but there's no way it doesn't degrade the signal strength.
Don't bother. I bought one of these from ebay a couple weeks ago and it degrades your signal by 1-2 bars. It was night and day.. the minute you took it off your signal went up.
I also used this case for two days and it went to trash due to horrible grip(very uncomfortable grip) and side bumper being not tight enough.
It does look cool though..

Reason is becouse im using Mycall and www.mycall.no is using Telenor as nationally roaming partner. As there is better coverage with Telenor then the phone shows R. Mycall does not have as many sites as telenor so im connected to telenor instead.
This is mine case yes lol, check my other threads about tempered glass screen GLASs-M.
I agree with you guys it does look good, but its slippery and can easy fall out of my hands. Thats the online down I can find of this
Proof screenshot
Im in Oslo,Norway.
I think it will create the signal problem......I want to buy a metal case for my N3 but the only reason I decided not to buy them is the signal problem...Is there anyone who can suggest a metal case for N3 which does not create this issue.....
I have this case. It looks great, except it makes the phone look thicker, like the neohyrid - which I don't like.
As for signal, it's fine in areas with good signal, but in areas with poor signal like my office it sucks - which is why I switched back to my Diztronic case. Not as pretty but does the job.

Does anyone have this case for their G3? If so how do you like it? This is the case I am talking about. I want to get it but hesitant because I want something thin and I like the aluminum frame. If someone does have it and does not want it LMK and ill buy it or trade for a brand new otterbox defender case. :good:
I'm curious about this case as well seems this company mimicks spigen (Thor=slim armor,iron shield =neo hybrid) but their cases appear to be high quality since spigen doesn't make a neo hybrid for the g3 I'm really debating on getting this case

Verus
I had the Spigen Slim Armor case Black. It was a nice fit and very low profile. It also had an extra hold on the plastic so Im not sure if it is truly for G3. I sent it back and got the Verus. This case is very similar to the Spigen and has a perfect fit. It is slim and has a thin metal frame around it. Making it look very nice. I would say these are the best two cases out there and I would say the Verus is number one. The metal frame makes it standout.
I would send a few pic. here.
I've got the Versus satin case. I had to run some sandpaper along the cutout edges to knock down the sharp edges (top) and bottom, but nice case and not slippery like the one I picked up at Verizon.
It takes a bit to remove it tho so not for the person who likes to swap batteries.

The hole is for the Korean variant of the G3. Spigen made the decision to make all of their cases "universal", so they all have the hole. That why I went with Verus and got the Thor. The Thor is nice, but it also adds significant bulk and weight. I've ordered another case to try out.
I have spigen slim armour with no hole. You need to buy the us version of the case
When I was talking to the VZ rep that was helping us when we were getting the LG G3, he showed me his Spigen case that is similar to the Iron Shield. He loved it but the "metal" frame around the headphone and charging port kept cracking. For something that is metal, it breaks easily.

oh shucks. i got amazon one and it has hole for the clear case that is
Just ordered this case after reading about it here and watching a couple of reviews on youtube.
Pretty excited about this one. It looks great, has pretty good protective features and is still relatively inexpensive. Just purchased on amazon directly from verus for 19.99 plus 2 for shipping and zero tax.
Should have it within a week.

I bought this case at first I like it but I noticed with the case on my signal dropped down to 1 bar from 5 bars and my download speed went from 15 Mbps download speed to less than 1 Mbps it took me about a week to figure this out as to who would think that the case would block the signal but it does I spent countless hours on the phone with Verizon trying to figure out what was going on then just by chance when I was switching the dim cards back and fourth from my g2 to my g3 to see if it may be the phone I noticed that my signal was fine until I put the car back on so don't buy this case hopefully this will help anyone thinking of buying this case

Yeah I was going to get this before unread the same thing in a few reviews. Battery killer.
I have the exact same case that you link to, OP. It has already survived a fall with just a little ding on the metal band around the case. I haven't noticed any drop in signal or battery life while using this case.
I got this case yesterday and have to say that I don't like it at all. As others have said, the metal is sharp in places and the signal does drop. I went from getting 4G in my home to 3G after putting the case on. Once I took it off, it went back to 4G. If anyone wants to buy one for cheap, let me know.
I just received the verus iron shield the other day too and I love the look and feel.
On this thread, I believe, and elsewhere I read some people were seeing some signal degradation due to the metal frame.
This made me sensitive to this and I've been trying to see if that's the case. I was testing two nights ago in my basement and it appeared that I was getting one less bar of signal. I was pretty tired and bleary eyed so I need to try this again hopefully this weekend.
I was wondering if you or someone else has checked this out.
The case is beautiful and gives above average protection, which is more than enough for me, but if the signal is being affected that would be a dealbreaker.
On another note, I have the supcase frost/clear back case and I love that too. It's thin, light and looks terrific. It offers no better than average protection but that's ok with me too.
These 2 cases give me everything that I personally look for in phone cases.
Thanks in advance
Edit:
Been testing and the iron shield definitely degrades signal for me. I'll be returning it to amazon

Signal gone down here too. I'm in Italy, where i was getting 4G now it's 3G and where the signal was bad (1 bar) now i can't get any at all.
Switched for the Spigen Slim Armor (i think verus iron shield case is the best looking and classy case for LG G3 but i can't stand the signal issue)
Just for information...to all the people with my same experience, have you got the model with the antenna cut or the plain one?

It's not so bad. Case is much more enjoyable without the corner jabbing you in the palm. People still comment about phone/case looks, don't even notice it.
I just wish they didn't make the inside lanyard corner deeper than the opposite side. Otherwise it would be nearly identical. I picked up another MAX today for $10 and an extra FUSION for $6.

Hopefully the Fusion doesn't come with scratches. My first one did :| not very happy about that.

Why not just get a black skin and use the clear ringke slim? If that isn't acceptable, then try aliexpress. They have some of the best clones I've seen.

It is a really good case. That's all I've had on my phone since I got it. I've dropped my phone from waist height so many times and the case just has a few dings in it. My phone is still in damn near mint condition.
Tried a few other nougat roms. Came back to this one. Had to go through setting it up twice, more slowly the second time. And everything is perfect. I haven't ran into any issues at all. Thanks RP for the superb rom.
Whoa no black slim on eBay?
