Not sure what else to call this case. It's a flat back with clear sides that come up past the front glass. Got it on eBay for $6.99. It's not a bad option, it pretty much looks like the phone is actually turquoise.

That case definitely looks like it will cause flash issues.

Yep, it makes the flash a mess. But, to be honest, I'm not using the flash much anyway since it makes my pictures look bad. Like I said, for $6.99... It's not bad.
 
Looks great thanks for posting pics I was very weary, but the quality is actually good.. How does it fit around the front ?
 
Thanks for the review, it actually looks a lot better than I thought it would.

I can't wait to get my red one in the mail, ordered it sooooo long ago. Damn China shipping. 😉
 
I wish it didn't interfere with the flash I'm going to wait and see what cases apple is going to offer and then possibly get the pink one I def like the look of it!

Im serious, if you just mark inside that ring with a black Sharpie it will cure the flash issie.

Is the plastic on the back rigid or more rubbery?
For example, I consider the Belkin Vue rubbery since you can bend it.
The Griffin is what I would call rigid hard case.

Thanks

edit:
also, does the case put a lip around the front glass too?

It's very rigid.

The edges on the side rise up above the front glass but don't wrap around it. If I were to lay it on the glass, it wouldn't sit flat on the table. I hope that makes sense.

I'll take another pic when I get home.
 
I ordered 2 of these; red one from China and white one from an eBay seller in NJ. Does this look like something that might scratch the back or sides of your phone if dust/lint gets in? Is there any padding on the inside of the back (the part that touches the back plate of the phone)?

I received one in white yesterday. It's pretty useless and I was afraid it would scratch my iPhone. I put it on, it was a real tight fit with no padding. I tested the flash and it washed out the photo, but no matter, because of the tight fit and no padding I took it off immediately. It was a chore to take it off carefully. I'm not going to put it back on. Good thing I only spent $.99 for it.
