It looks like the Lightning connector opening on these is large enough to work with the Lightning Adapter cable, unlike the iPhoneCase ThinEdge (which is a fantastic bumper otherwise). However, not looking to spend $50 on a bumper. :(

I wouldn't make that assumption until you have one in hand or someone confirms. If you look at the images on the site, there seems to be smaller circular cutout right by the larger rectangle cutout.

I was contacted on IM or private message from this user saying that they offer shipping to US. Here's the message I got. Anyone tried this ?

Hi there!

if you are planning on buying the case, we can help! Our stocks are imported directly from Japan then exported worldwide.

For more information, kindly visit http://www.aconcept.com.sg

Note that the prices are in SGD. You may end up saving some money due to the USD-SGD currency conversion. ;)

I didn't get that pm but I checked the site in his sig the other day. Chuwa imports is $10 cheaper.

This is correct. Unfortunately I don't have an adaptor to test it.

Does the edge of the bumper raise in thickness? Is it the exact same thickness because this is not ideal if the phone is dropped :( might have to miss it if it only protects sides.

Front and back are both raised- the back slightly more.

^and no. Fit is already very snug just on the phone. The bumper comes with screen/rear protectors so you'll be covered anyways.

I had this bumper for the iPhone 4S and while it is sexy the bumper wasn't really durable. the silver part of the material is easily scratched and rentable. the black rubber area does protect your phone from shocks and falls quite well though. hopefully they made the case a bit more durable this time around

I had the white/pearl coloured PS bumper for my 4S and thought it was the best fitting bumper I had owned (previously used the Apple bumper and the SGP Linear EX).

i agree that the support for the top of the phone was quite thin but it just felt right for me.

As soon as the insurance comes through for my stolen iP4s I am going to hunt one of these iP5 bumpers down as I am sure it will be just as good as the iP4s bumper.

I want to order this case but I have the Spigen glass T screen protector on my phone. I'm not sure if the case will fit.

All the accessories are overpriced to be honest, even iPhone itself.

No idea how they can charge what they charge for a bumper and people buy it.

I remember when Apple first introduced the bumpers at $29 and everybody was screaming overpriced.

Hey, does it hurt the reception?

Thanks for all the interest, inquiries & PMs. thought it would be much easier to reply to all of you here.

Flat Bumper's stocks are in & ready to ship immediately after the New year holidays! ;)

by the way, take note that the prices are in SGD & not USD. Thus prices will be lower after converting back to USD. :)

Happy new year everyone!

Nice review!!!! It answered 2 of my questions!


1- I am so glad that you put the silver/white on a back iPhone! It doesn't look as good as I though, so I will go for silver/back!

2- This can protect the iPhone 5 frame because I got some dents on mine with the Elago outfit case.


I found this is also available in HK local store for $339 which is US$43 and shipping should be less than US$10bucks.

It is quite expensive but it is still cheaper from any website.


I wish Apple is not going to make any change on next iPhone...
