Can you post a closer pic of the power button opening? Curious if they made a change yet. I have small fingers and was not able to press it with the face of my finger. I had to angle my finger so the very tip of my nail pressed it. Is it the same for you?
[quote name=Also, the headphone jack on the phone is completely accessible with the Metallo case on. (See the first photo below.) No problem if you have to switch jacks from amp to phone with the case on.
Other things I noticed right away that have not been mentioned here yet:
(1) The VentureCraft cable works fine, but the lightning connector doesn't click firmly into place with the Metallo case on the phone. The connection works, but I can see where it might not stay seated correctly if the rig is in your pocket, etc. To correct this, I used the 2nd rubber boot included in the package; I cut about 1/16th inch off of it and used a heat gun to shrink wrap it around the lightning connector. There is a tiny bit of white visible when I plug it in, but it seats perfectly now. If I really wanted to, I could buy more shrink wrap tubing and try doing that again until I get one that is the perfect length, with no white showing.
(2) When I first unpacked the amp, the battery charge level LEDs were both lit, indicating a full charge; however, it drained and stopped working after only a few minutes of use, and then the lights did not go on. I'm charging it fully now.
(3) I also noticed that when the 2nd toggle switch (the one that toggles between iSync, Charge+Vamp and Vamp Only) was in the Vamp Only position, I was hearing music very faintly, even at full volume. When in the Charge+Vamp mode, everything was fine--I was getting all the volume I wanted with my M-100s at 10-11 o'clock and low gain. I wonder if the Vamp Only mode wasn't working because of the battery being low; the iPhone's battery was fully charged. I'll check this out again later when the Vamp Verza is charged up.
(4) There is a clear protector included with the Metallo case, but it's for the BACK of the phone, not the screen. It protects the back of the phone when sliding it onto the Versa dock; it has a cutout for the camera.
(5) As for the sound, I've only had a few minutes of listening so far, but it's definitely an improvement over the M-100s alone with the iPhone. The already great bass is less boomy, deeper when needed, and has a nice solid impact when the recording calls for it. The mids are a bit more forward, and the treble has some sparkle without being overly harsh or bright. From just a couple of brief tracks, I like it a lot so far.
(6) Last, for now anyway, the build quality, especially the fit and finish of the amp and the case are absolutely top notch. My headphones, amp and case are all black, and the whole rig looks very classy. I'll be looking for some kind of pouch or small case, possibly with a belt clip, to hold everything when I'm listening while walking outdoors, etc. It's a little big for a pants pocket.
