Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

No bs discounts for reviews here, I just appreciate honest reviews from people because I put a lot of weight into those before I buy something. So here ya go. Clarity/Appearance: Case is nice and clear, I wanted to show off the back of my pretty new iphone and the stainless steel rim- this is one of the few cases that is entirely clear (as opposed to some others with frosted or black rims). The cutouts are accurate. With any clear plastic though, it does show your gross oily fingerprints. But maybe you'll clean the case more often and get that nasty bathroom germ party off it then? Writing on the side: Something I don't like and almost returned it for is the "Designed in Irvine California made in South Korea" engraved along the right rim of the case. Bad taste, ruins that nice clear edge that makes the case so valuable. Get that crap off of there. Protection: Hard TPU on the back with rubberish bumper along the rim. Comes up above the screen enough that dropping the phone face down will give you slightly less of a heart attack than cases with no screen lip. That's another reason I went with this case. I don't give this 5 stars yet for the bumper writing but also because I haven't dropped the thing yet to test the protection. I think it will hold up well so long as i don't launch it screen first into a blunt object, but that won't be the case's fault then. Bulk: Probably the slimmest but still protective case you'll find. Adds some weight and about a half cm of bulk on each side, but feels adequate for cushioning falls. I hate bulky otter box cases, but did consider them for my $1K device that I really don't want to break. This one appears protective enough. Fit: Saw some people complaining about this but I had no problem, fits well. Price: Can't beat it, and it's decent quality for the ~$10 you'll shell out. I've bought many o' ebay cases for $3 that were terrible quality. You'll be pleasantly surprised by the heft of this plastic for the money. Overall: Working well for me after a week of use. Shows off the gorgeous design we all fell in love with, which aside from protection, was my goal. Haven't given 'er a good drop yet, but I'm fairly confident it should hold up to your typical waist height drop. Wouldn't throw the thing against a wall though- you'll need something more intense for that aggressive lifestyle. If you can deal with the ugly writing on the right rim, give it a try.
