I recieved my Verus Iron Shield about a week ago,I ordered the red for my white N4,it is an absolute stunning case IMO. It fits really well and has a premium feel,and doesn't add too much bulk at all. This is a quality case,although I do think the buttons could use more of a "click feel" to them. As of now,when you push them, you really can't feel much of anything, so that one area I would want changed.
The other thing I have noticed,and this has been brought up in discussion here before, is the Aluminum outer frame of the case and it's interference with the antenna/radio reception. I can tell you, mine DOES interfere with my N4 antenna reception! I tested it many over and over at my house were I have WiFi,but even though it runs on WiFi,it still shows the data service next to it,it's just not lit up when running on WiFi. With the case UNINSTALLED,just the phone, it will run in 2 bars of 4G,but with the case INSTALLED,it's will almost immediately switch over to 1X to no service at all,and all I have to do is remove the Aluminum frame,and it switches right back to 4G,put it back on,back to 1X. Tested it many times. Now keep in mind,this is at my house were I am running on WiFi,so it doesn't have any effect since I'm on WiFi,but just wanted to throw that out there. Now, I have also noticed,that if I'm in an area with full bar 4G service,it doesn't seem to be affected near as bad,and will still run in 4G even with the case installed. All in all, I really like the look and build of this case,it's beautiful and sturdy without adding a bunch of bulk. Time will tell if it effects signal bad enough to try something else. If I decide on another case,the next case will probably be a Spigen Neo Hybrid,iysts the same basic design,but a plastic build instead of aluminum. I love the idea of the aluminum for a premium feel,but if it proves to hurt signal, there is no use in having it. Sorry for the long review, but that's my $.02 on the Verus Iron Shield for our N4....
