I had purchased this brand for my iPhone 4S last year and I was very happy with it back then.

I was interested in the new back cover that they are selling for the iPhone 5 because of the texture of the aluminium and glass.

What they have put together is 3 pieces on the back. 2 standard pieces for the glossy glass and then the middle section is the matt textured that some use on the front of their phones.

They results are great. I used the hinge method and it when on perfectly. If I'm really picky it could have gone less than a millimetre more to the edge but honestly, you would not know its on there. They back feels exactly the same as it always did without the cover on there.

The front screen protecter is also very good. Again I used the hinge method and it went on quickly and perfectly.

The back especially is truly invisible, not only to your eye but also to the touch and feel of the phone.

Over all I would highly recommend this.

You get 2 protectors in each pack along with cloths etc. Overall good value for money.

Here is a link to the back protector - http://mediadevil.com/index.php/bro...gicscreen-dual-tone-back-edition-iphone5.html

Is your phone black or white? Is there any bubbling around the Apple logo like there is with the Spigen matte mid-back?

If you would be able to post a picture, that would be great!

Sorry for the delay.

I have uploaded some photos but they aren't great.

They show the detailing around the speaker and home button and then on the back, no bubbling around the Apple Logo and also the detailing around the camera on the back.

I hope these help. The front you really cant tell its there, the back middle section is also invisible and feels great, the only errors I got was on the smaller top and bottom sections for the glass covers, these fit well but I couldn't avoid some tiny bubbling on the edges of these.

Here are the images, I'm not sure how you of thumbnails sorry...

Thank you!

If anyone has tried this with the black/slate, I would be very interested to know if it bubbles around the logo. I've installed a few Spigen back protectors on friends' white iPhones and there isn't any bubbling, but I tried a couple (Spigens) on my black phone (wet and dry, doesn't matter) and I can't get rid of that bubble around the edge of the logo and "iPhone" text.
