Is the para duo metal case ok for iphone 5

The new Para Duo Metal case for the iphone 5 looks pretty nice and is not too expensive, but is it ok to have a metal case on this phone and not have service interruptions? Wether it be bluetooth signal, internet (wifi Signal) or cellular network connection(phone calls)? Has any one had any issues with this before?
Thank you!
Here is the link to the product:

Well first off, the case is not metal. It is an anodized polycarbonate plastic with a metallic finish that goes on top of a pure silicone inner case.
You do not want a case made out of metal, if nothing else it would scratch too easily and add too much weight to the phone and that's in addition to the loud clinging you'd get when you set it down.
The object of this case is to immitate metal in the most elegant way possible, and More-Thing has done just that.
The special plastic holds the finish better and gives you a lighter and more cushioned protection than real metal.
If real metal is your thing, you may want to consider a different phone, because iPhone 5 being made of aluminum and glass is pushing case makers away from metal.

    The app game that I bought for iphone is not available in the itunes store anymore. How can I get it back on my iphone 4

    If it's no longer in the store then you won't be able to re-download it - do you have a copy of it on your computer's iTunes (or on a backup) that you could sync back to your phone ?

    Did Apple increase the Out of Warranty Replacement cost for iPhone 5 from $229 to $269?
    I would have expected this cost to decrease not increase with the announcement of the new iPhones yesterday.

    I think they must have increased it recently because I was told $269 to replace my iPhone 5 on 9/13/13.  I don't know how iPhone 5 replacements are going to work out now that they won't be carrying them anymore.

  • Why wont apple accept the fact that 4.0 is for iphone 4 and not for 3gs?

    Having all those problems said with 3g/s running on iOS 4.X why wont they let us just downgrade back to 3.1.3 officially until they find a way on how to solve issues with 3g/s?
    About the downgrade method of life hacker, if you're really not good in those things you might actually ruin your pc like my friend who tried it, she lost her wifi on her notebook, i had to help her find the installer of the driver again. this happened after she tried to install that libusb that is needed to run the application for exit recovery mode and other stuff.
    Yes iOS 4.1 is out but contacts disappearing? And who knows what more problems it brings. I was even peeking around the iphone 4 forums it seems that they are not doing well either.
    Anyway mine is all fine except that im afraid to use wifi or any apps that needs internet connection because everytime i do, my 3gs gets very very hot. I have already done the basic solution suggested by apple (factory reset, start from new iphone) but its still the same.
    And another thing, the multitasking is getting annoying, you have to manually close all apps in the 'multitasking background' everytime you decide to quit an app. I guess they should put a 'Disable multitasking' or something like that.

    Because it works beautifully in the 3GS, with better battery life, faster operation and some great new features.

    If you are having problems it is NOT from 4.0; there is something else wrong with your phone. There are plenty of troubleshooting tips in the forum if you look.

    NO YOU DO NOT. Those apps in the ribbon are not multitasking, they are suspended. You can ignore them and they won't hurt battery life or memory, unless they are streaming apps like Pandora.
    It's amazing. For 3 years people screamed about the fact that the iPhone didn't support multitasking. Now they scream because the phone DOES multitasking. You can't win.

  • The "This Accessory is Not Designed for iPhone" Nag

    "This Accessory is Not Designed for iPhone"
    I guess that's the oldest (bug?) in the iPhone. What I have noticed in going from the (highly coveted) firmware 3.0.1 to firmware 4.2.1 is that after you press “dismiss”, the "This Accessory is Not Designed for iPhone" nag reappears in 5-6 Mins.
    With my old firmware the nag would only show up once, with firmware 4.2.1 it nags over and over again. (And of course, all of the accessories involved work perfectly in every way.)
    Others tell me, jail breaking is required to stop the nagging. I am not jailbreaking my phone. Please tell me there's another way.

    It's not quite a bug.
    The only reason it would reappear is if it loses the connection and then reestablishes it. It should never show up after appearing once and maintaining that connection. Presumably it i showing up because there is an incompatibility. If there is then I suppose it would make sense that it is struggling to maintain that connection.
    In terms of getting rid of it there really is no way besides using an accessory that is compatible on Apple's terms. The same thing happens to me when I use my car dock. Do I really need to be told every time I get in my car that the same dock I have used for months is incompatible (yet still works 100% fine)? Absolutely not. But it's not something that can be disabled.

  • Is the Midnight Blue Smart Case ONLY for iPad Air 2 ?

    Hi,
    Is the Apple iPad Air Midnight Blue Smart Case ONLY for iPad Air 2nd generation ?
    There is no mention on the box and as this is a gift I received, the sticker on the back which identify the model + price was removed.
    I wanted to know whether if the midnight blue color was only for iPad Air 2 or existed also for iPad Air 1 ?
    Best regards,
    FXR

    The Midnight Blue is a new color, specifically for the iPad Air 2

  • "more." metal case weaking signal - iPhone 4S

    Hi,
    I bought myself a "more." metal case (exactly the same one as below) in August... I realised couple of days later, that my signal got worse. I started getting a maximum of 2 out of 5 bars of coverage, and I used to get 3-4 on the same spot on my desk (coverage in my area is pretty bad...). I tried to call my network provider to doublecheck (o2 UK), they said, there was no issues with their network. Oh well, I thought, life must go on...
    I took my case off today to clean my phone under the case, as it looked a bit dusty. Then I realised my phone is getting 4 out of 5 bars again! I tried to put the case back on - 2 bars, case off - 4 bars, AGAIN case on - 2, and for the last time - case off - 4. Now the phone is in its silicone black cover that it was at the time I got the "more." case, and it's been showing 4 bars for the last hour... I have contacted the manufacturer already and I'm waiting for their response. At the moment I would not suggest getting this kind of case (it was more than 20 quid...!) if you live in the poor coverage area...

  • There is no option under the "Preferences" in iTunes to "Look for iPhones or iPads."

    Help!
    Every advice on not being able to link my Remote on my iPhone to my pc iTunes states to go to 'Preferences' in iTunes and under the 'Device's tab to check "Look for iPhones or iPads". I have no such option.
    Can someone help?
    Is my Norton 360 Antivrus firewall preventing remote access? Could this also be the reason why I cannot get the Airplay option on my iTunes either (trying to connect to B&W Zeppelin Air)?
    I have had so much trouble with Apple recently I am seriously getting hacked off!...

    I've connected via USB, clicked on my iPhone (is that 'select'?), but where do I type the 4 digit code in to? What window?...
    No USB, this is done over your wi-fi network.  You do have wi-fi at home right?  Are your computer and iPhone both connected your network, and the same network? (some wi-fi networks have a separate guest network).

  • How do I change the password that connects my Outlook for iPhone app with my Exchange server?

    I changed my domain password so I needed to change it on my iPhone Outlook app. I have looked everywhere I can think of, in the settings and everywhere else, and cannot find anything that will allow me to change the password. I had to uninstall and re-install.
    This seems ridiculous to me.

    Hi,
    Since this forum is for general questions and feedback related to Outlook for Windows, I'd recommend you post your question to the Office for iPhone forum:
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_mobile-outlook-os_device_iphone?tab=Threads
    The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.
    I would very much like to get "the most qualified pool of respondents". However, in the link you supplied there is NO place to ask a question. There was someone who asked a similar question and the response was from a Microsoft Support Engineer pointing
    him to yet another place "for better suggestions". This site is setup like some gigantic maze where when you can't answer a simple question like; Where can I change my domain password in the new Outlook App for iPhones? You pass us around until you
    figure it out, or we give up, delete the app and start feeling like not everyone over at Microsoft has a brain. I apologize for the frustration level, but when I do this kind of thing for a living and it becomes this difficult, I can't imagine what most of
    Microsoft's endusers feel. 'Thank you for your understanding.'

  • Can the iOS 5.0.1 update for iphone work on my ipod touch?

    Is was woundering if you could use the same iOS 5.0.1 update for iPhone on your iPod??

    No, it will not. It must be the version specifically for the iPod Touch.  On top of that you must have a 3G or 4G iPod Touch in order to even install iOS 5 onto it.

  • When do the tough or hard case (waterproof) for the ipad 3 will be in store ?

    I want to use an Ipad 3 for sailing (Gps,music and everything else) but i need some protection... like against water, salt, sun and sand. So if you know a company or some stuff that can do the job just tell me pls.

    Do a Google search for "military duty ipad case" and see what you find - I did and several options showed up, including Griffin (a well-known case provider). As to when they'll come out, you'd have to ask the manufacturers... some may state that their iPad2 cases will work with the new model, because their large form factor will not be affected by the slight changes, but others that are more form-fitting may be working on a new design.

  • Case recommendations for iPHONE

    Is there a thread with suggestions for best cases? if not, what are you iPhoners loving?

    I have both iphones and the biggest problem I had with the older one and now the new one is the cases. There are too many bulky cases that defeat the purpose of having a smart phone. The best hard case I found after buying seven of them is the Agent18 Shield. I have had it for all my ipods and have yet to get a scratch on my phone or ipod when dropped. The best part is it does not fall apart when you do drop it like many other bulky cases. The bad part about the Agent18 Shield is that there is no clip or holster for it to snap into it. You will have to carry it in your pocket. It is pretty slim though and less bulkier.
