Desmay Slight 0.33mm iphone cover

Anyone got their desmay case for iphone 5 yet? Please post pics..
Looks like their site doesn't say sold out anymore... but I can't seem to add to cart and order.
 
Looks like they are sold out already. I was going to get one, but I'm not so sure now - the case is one big open hole on the bottom. Not sure what I think about that. Does it offer a lip around the screen to help prevent scratches when lying face down?

Why anyone would put the phone lying face down is beyond me.

For the most part this case is for people that want to keep the look of the iphone but offering some scratch protection for the back not "drop" protection. I don't mind the bottom cutout since I use headphones that have oversize plugs.

I agree, I had this case for my 4S and the top of the case cracked open when I dropped it from waist-height.
It's to protect the back of the phone from scratches, nothing more.
But it allows the phone to keep the same slim profile and that's why I am putting it on my 5.
What annoys me more than anything is Desmay charging me $20 for faster shipping and then not supplying a tracking number!!!!
I will report how fast their shipping really is once it arrives.

Why I put my phone face down is the same reason Apple moved the audio jack to the bottom.

Or perhaps, to show off the back plate which is the most customizable area of an iPhone.

Anyway, someone should do a review of the Slight 5 vs SPG Ultra Thin! :cool:
 
I have just received my clear transparent case after I should have received my black transparent when they sent the wrong order.
All I can say is DON'T order this case.
It is bad fitting around the bottom and doesn't stay firm. The clear transparent is rainbow already and looks and feels as cheap as they could make it.
Also the screen protector is those terrible ones that are cut all wrong and badly around the camera and home button.
This is NOTHING like their 4/4S case.
AWFUL, AWFUL case.
If you really want one, stick the the ebay copies or go for the incipio feather or SGP ultra thin air.

I knew this case would be no better and probably identical to all these cheap Desmay like slim cases on eBay you can get for a couple bucks but everybody believed otherwise.

Damn... I'm glad I wasn't able to get an order in. Glad I bought the 3$ replicate on eBay. Pics please!!!
 
Ahh I was tempted to pull the trigger on this also, but I haven't yet. Right now I'm still naked with my phone, BUT I have purchased and received the Waterfield Designs pouch that fits the phone PERFECTLY. For 12 bux shipped I really can't complain. I just can't get myself to commit to any bulky case right now and will probably go naked+waterfield pouch+applecare. Tempted to go an icarbons skin for back/side but not sure how that would effect it fitting in the pouch..
 
Guess I'll be using my Poetic Atmosphere Case when it arrives this week or the bumpers from Target. Damn I just got a $27 education in cases overseas, Never again :mad:
 
Jake from the other thread seems to be okay with his case?

My only gripe is that it's out of stock again. Basedon Jake's review. I think I'd want to get one. I think this looks like a superior case to SPIGEN Ultra Thin Air or Rearth Ringke.

The transparency seems to be lacking, I agree. But it'd have to be better than the lack of the smoked black option at all from either SPIGEN or Rearth?
