I bought this back snap on case & got it delivered today. It really only offers protection from scratching, but if thats all you need this case is pretty damn awesome.

It's SOooooo thin and light. from a foot away doesnt even look like you have a case on. It looks great and feels great in the hand, no slipping.



for anyone wanting to go with a minimal case for a decent price this is it.
screen protector is precision cut and application was easy. Comes with a squigee card and soft wipe cloth and a plastic stand for your phone.

not to mention CAZE customer support suck big time...All the empty promise and slow or never bother to reply.
 
I used to feel that way. Until I got a few cases from eBay. They all look the same but the feel and alignment can have a huge difference.
Not ready to trust a 800 dollar phone in a 99 cent knock off.....

I've ordered cases on ebay for $1, and i've ordered a few in the $20 range.

most of the time you truly do get what you paid for.

as for customer service, i had no issues. the shipping was free & i had a tracking number. plus if you pay with paypal you're 100% covered. i can't lie though this case gets 'fine' scratches like crazy. not the big scratches like most clear plastic cases get.

i just like the case because its the lightest one i've found...EVER.

is it worth $20? no..i get it, its just plastic...but I dont think iPhones are worth $800+ either. I work in retail. Everything is marked up in price.
 
unless they're made locally, then all the cases are pretty much of the same quality. the .3mm cases should technically be the lightest and thinnest cases out.

Very true. I'm a fan of the light/ thin cases, while others prefer the heavy otterbox look, etc. to each their own

Thin/light are definitely the way to go, the heavy look just ruins the phone. I'm gonna give the $1 case a try and I'll get back to you on the quality! I do believe in spending a premium to get a perfect one like you did though, so I wasn't attacking you or anything, I was just browsing alternatives :)

I know.;) And hey if the case works out you can get 20 of them, and sell those at $20 a pop, lol. $$$ profit.

Let me know how the case works out. I always like browsing ebay for cases & switching it up.

I'm with you i think the otter box cases are awful. Why hide such an awesome looking phone. And the minimal case is all i need cause if I smash the screen i got AppleCare+

Definitely! I bought like 10 $1-5 dollar cases on eBay just to try them out. Waiting for them to come in!

Yup. So many people complimenting and ooh and aahing over how thin the new phone is.. then they just cover it up with that tank :p
 
some people need a Defender to the point where Applecare+ would only last them a few weeks. if you knew my sister, you'd understand why it's imperative that some people require a Defender for their iPhone...

I paid 849 for mine. So to me it IS 800+.
Is it worth it that's another question....
But I certainly agree with you get what you pay for....... And if I need to shell out 9 dollars for a knockoff that cost 20 retail. I probably will just pay retail and get it at their own store....

That truly is a lot of dough for a phone. At least you have the freedom of an unlocked phone.

But I agree with you why not pay a little more. people will shell out hundreds on the phone and then go as cheap as they can for a case.
 
yes, as i described, my sister does. me, on the other hand, just got my new black 5 last night, plan to keep it bare (or at the very maximum use a clear skin just for the back).

Enjoy your new phone! I've had mine since October 17 & can't put it down.:p

i had the white version since release day. unfortunately, Sprint put a damper on enjoying its full capabilities all the time. thanks for the reply though, already loving this black mamba. :apple:
