Caze Zero UltraThin Case

Well, they never responded to my inquiry but I did get shipping notification last night. Apparently, if you want your product, you need to be vocal about it.
Photive Natural Slim for a snap-on shell, and Poetic Atmosphere for a full-coverage case that's still really, really slim.
There are threads elsewhere on these. I definitely recommend checking out the Atmosphere in particular. It has exceeded my expectations by a considerable margin.
Got my ship notice last night too, btw.
Ordered mine right after I bought my iPhone 5 on the Sept 14. Caze advertised shipping the item on the 20th which is still on their page. They shipped it on the 24th. Getting mine tomorrow.
+1 For the Poetic Atmosphere. Nice and slim, doesn't show scratches or fingerprints, and even works with my glas.t. The only negative is that it is quite hard to get on/off, which means the occasional dust/grit cleaning is inconvenient. I ended up adding some best skins ever film on the back and sides so I'll never have to take it out.
Just got my clear Zero 5 UltraThin case and I really like it. It fits perfectly with my 5 and man it's thin. The only gripes I have with it is the most of the top isn't fully protected. Caze should have covered the top and left the sleep/wake button part open. And it's a little rough on some parts of the edge but so far no scratches made that I noticed yet. Overall, it's a pretty good case if you want a naked phone but also want a bit more protection. Even from a foot away, my phone doesn't look like it has a case on it.
Thanks. My experience with crystal clear cases is that they scratch very easily and end up not looking as nice as you'd think.
they offer a matte version too:

I'd be interested in pictures of the matte one. I ordered a Desmay Slight case and if its not as transparent as they sold it, I will switch over and get some Zero 5's.
I'm getting impatient waiting to get mine order, but somehow it has been trapped in the Los Angeles USPS's Customs sort facility over 5 days now. It only took 2 days to cross the ocean, but apparently there is no established time limit on clearing customs. I finally called up the USPS and they said it is up to customs to release it and the fact that it is registered mail, my shipment needs to be signed off by anyone who touches it, making it even slower. FFS... it isn't contraband or a regulated item, just a cheap piece of colored plastic for a cellphone. Masters of inefficiency.
Most shipments from overseas aren't contraband or regulated. It doesn't matter if it's just a "cheap piece of colored plastic".
Got mine today. The material feels like the plastic on clamshell packaging which makes it feel a little cheap when off the phone. Hard yet flexible. It does not fit with BSE skins (as someone pointed out elsewhere) but I left the skin on across the top of the phone where the case does not cover and it fits fine.
Since it's not super hard and a bit flexible, it doesn't seem like it will scratch too easily.

Anyone able to post pics of the back and edges for the iPhone 5 white for both matte and clear? It seems to me this is the best clear thin case so far..
The threads are useful, thanks everyone that's shared.

The only real complaint I have is the flat edges that run along the top and bottom of the phone (where they don't curl over the edge) are "sharp". I keep catching my fingers on them because they protrude a bit. I'd take pics but my camera is upstairs and I recently had surgery and am relegated to the first floor for several more weeks. 
When I'm more ambulatory, I may find my file and literally take the edges off. Not sure if that will ruin the look or not.

Yah, I was thinking the same. Maybe a nail file will be in order?
Did you grab the clear or matte?
