I just got my Case Mate Naked case this morning.
A few quick observations and some photos later:
- Easy to install the iPhone in the case...a bit of a challenge to get it out but nothing too bad.
- In terms of bulk, seems like it adds a bit more than I was expecting. I bought an open-faced clear acrylic case at the Apple store when I bought the phone and it is thinner than this Case Mate case. To reach the phone lock button on top or the ring vibrate switch on the side requires you to dig your finger in there.
- The front screen protector seems to work very well. I was able to navigate around in a normal manner without noticing any slip-ups. Initially, the screen protector produces a bit more friction when trying to move around but that might just be because it's brand new. One thing I did notice is that when I turn the phone on the side to view webpages, it was a bit harder to zoom in/out than without the screen protector. A minor quibble.
All-in-all, my initial read is positive with some quibble points that are probably similar to most other cases out there.
**Edit: One other thing I'd mention, which is true of other hard cases I've bought, is that when you are talking on the phone the case is very uncomfortable on the ear. All of the cases I've ever used have the outer edge of the case raised up, which is quite painful when talking on the phone.
