Can someone with a soft clear one please post pics of it on a black iPhone 5? I've been waiting to see this combination.
 
For those who are interested, this seems to be the generic version of the Spigen Ultra Thin Air (they even used the exact photo from the Spigen website sans logo and flash ring): http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/0-3mm-Ultra-Thin-Black-White-Crystal-Clear-Air-Jacket-for-iPhone-5-G-Snap-Case-/200827293801?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item2ec23d5069


Here's the manufacturer website for this eBay item: http://www.casesmarket.com/Brand-case-for-iPhone-5?product_id=289

Anyone ordered one of these?
 
I ordered the black one, and it still hasn't shipped! And I ordered it on friday... :mad:

Here's a review of the white one already... It's really nice!

WOW AWESOME to see my video review get linked on MacRumors! It is a cool case. I have a few more reviews of SGP cases for the iPhone 5. I think I will post the Hybrid Ex one on a thread! Thanks!
 
Bought a soft clear after hearing positive feedback here. Mine shipped today, so I should be getting it in about a week. Although, it may take a bit longer since I'm in Canada.

I'm trying to decide between BLACK and SOFT CLEAR for my BLACK iPhone 5. We have finally got real pictures of the BLACK case on a BLACK iPhone 5. We are all counting on you to post pictures of the SOFT CLEAR case on a BLACK iPhone 5.......

No pressure! :)

Sadly, it's not mine. However, I'll try and get those questions answered as soon as possible.
 
Thanks for posting pics of the soft clear on a black iphone. I would also like to see more pics from different lighting and angles. I appreciate it!
 
Got mine today, here are some pictures

Hey guys, I spent a LONG time searching for the perfect case and I finally decided to get the Spigen Ultra Thin Air case. I really wanted to crystal clear version but Spigen didn't have any in stock when they ordered and I was a little nervous that the crystal clear would scratch up really easily. So I went with the soft clear version and I am really impressed by it. The case is super thin, more so than what I was expecting and it has a really high quality feeling and doesn't detract from the beauty of the device at all. The phone fits inside the case absolutely perfectly without and wiggle room as some people have worried about. I have never had a case on my iPhone before but since the 5 is so prone to scratching I decided this time I would give it a try. I have had my phone since launch day and so far I haven't experienced and scuffing, it's been completely naked since I got it and is still in perfect condition so I was nervous about the case scratching the phone when I put in on and took it off, but so far i haven't had that happen. While the case is a hard plastic it does have a very soft feeling and I don't think it will scratch the phone at all. The only complaint I have with the product is the included Ultra Crystal screen protector. After spending close to an hour trying to install it, I could not get it to stick. When it finally did want to stay put there were a million tiny air bubbles that refused to come out. I have put on many screen protectors before and have never had a problem like this before. I have given up on the Spigen screen protector and will be ordering a Switcheasy Pure protector that I have used on my previous iPhone and have always looked and felt great. Overall I am incredibly happy with the case even though I have only had it for a couple of hours. If I do run into any problems with it I will let you guys know!

Nice photos! My black just arrived and the quality seems very high. Your photos also reminded me of how great the black finish on the black iPhone looks with black cases. Not having the silver of my iPhone 4 showing is a really nice look.

Soft clear looks great! Thanks for the pictures. I was curious is the case slippery in the hands or more a textured grippy material?

It's not very slippery, it's a textured plastic that feels somewhat close to the aluminum on the iPhone. It definitely feels nice in my hands and I don't expect to have any problems with it being slippery.
 
Ahhhhh, I can't decide what to do/get. I want to go naked and have been since release day, but I feel like I will be grateful for some minimal protection at some point. I'm torn though between black and soft clear for my black iPhone (or just stay naked). I really wish they would make a "smoke/black" clear case. It would probably make my decision much easier.

I know, tough choice. Along with the Spigen I also have the Photive slim in matte black. I think you would be pretty impressed with how these cases almost disappear on a black iPhone 5. I like them as they add just a little grip.

Sounds good. Thanks! Going to place an order for one.
 
I really want to order one of these, but with the tops and bottoms open, it's a no go. Incredibly excited for the Power Support Air jacket, though.
 
What I would do is remove the serial number sticker on the inner portion. That somehow made a very tiny scratch on the back of my iphone...
 
hi, i'm very interested in buying this case from SGP but i have a few questions...

1. does the white ultra thin turns yellow/beige after usage? and
2. does the soft clear show signs of scuffs and scratches on the back after awhile?

i currently have the white griffin reveal and these are my 2 biggest pet peeves. please help me out, any answers are appreciated :)
 
#1. Nope it doesn't. I have been using it for over a week and it hasn't shown any sign of changing color. Only one thing though, the case does not fit snuggly. The phone will slide up/down slightly if you push it hard enough. Kinda annoying. I think this only affects the white cas though.
