The case for people who don't want a case
As someone else stated already, this is the case for the person that wants as close of the feel to the naked iPhone as possible. I can't imagine a case getting much more minimal than this. The 2 things that it does really well are add a better grip to the phone so that it's not so slippery and it protects the protruding camera so you can rest the phone on its back without worry. The only thing I don't like is that the edges are ever-so-slightly raised above the screen line. And I mean slightly. Maybe 1mm. Maybe. But it's enough to detract from the best part of the new iPhone design, its curved screen rounding into the aluminum on the sides. If you're the kind of person that has rocked your iPhones naked because you appreciate the design so much, then this will bug you as it bugs me. This slight lip will not protect your screen in any way. I think it's there because it kind of has to be, not because they cut any corners. It just is what it is. I'm glad it was so inexpensive. If I decide later that the lip bothers me too much, I'm not out 50 bucks or anything. Right now I'm going to try to get used to it because it really does make the iPhone much, much easier to hold with confidence. And I'm certain I'm going to scratch the lens so it's nice that it helps keep the lens off of surfaces. We'll just have to see if my compulsion for great design wins out over the practicality and comfort of this case.
