Should be the official iPhone 5 case
I just received this case, and similar to other reviewers have been very pleased with the product so far. The case is translucent (not clear) with dark gray edges, which in my opinion complements the black iPhone very well. I've uploaded a couple pictures of the case against light to give you an idea how the case looks without the phone in it. The case is slim, constructed well and has an excellent finish. The buttons on the case viz. power button and volume buttons align perfectly with phone buttons. In fact the volume buttons have "+" and "-" signs on them, which looks good. The back cut-out is precise and does not interfere with the camera or the flash. and the bottom cutout doesn't interfere with the EarPods jack, speaker or the Lightning cable slot. The case seems very sturdy. The edges and corners are much harder than the rest of the case and feels it would protect the phone well against falls and impacts. One of the best parts is that the back is leveled, and has slightly raised areas which seem to have been designed to give case a little elevation to prevent scratches to the case itself. Look at the photos I've uploaded to see what I'm talking about. The case itself is super slim and light. Doesn't add much weight or width to the phone at all. If I were to describe it, the width and weight of the case with the phone in it is close to an iPhone 4/4S without a case.
Summary: Definitely Recommended!
Pros:
- Ultra Slim & Light (Weighs and feels like an iPhone 4/4S without a case)
- Solid Built and Quality
- Great Looking
- Prevents the scuffing reported on the black iPhone 5 :)
Cons:
- None really
