Free iPhone 4/4s Case - Zoogue

I just got my case in the mail. I ordered one in green... decent quality, but mine has a noticeable bulge on the top. The flash also washes out the pictures with a green tint. It's not a terrible case but I will most likely be going back to my Magpul field case as my daily case.
I have gray and black from the previous transaction. Big fan, thin, common sense and has saved my phone sent from a drop of performance from three yards, the spinning into the concrete. Obviously off button is not 100% perfect, I wonder if they fixed that for new models. I'll probably try again, white and red, but I want all the colors were darker hues.
Free needs to be removed from the subject line. Only stupid people think something is free when you only have to still pay money.
So, anyone else's white case pick up greenish discoloration from their jeans? The case in general has also definitely picked up a dirtier coloration over the course of a month. Ah, the curse of a white case. That said, it does still look pretty good so long as I'm not examining it up close.
^^ unrelated but I got the grey one and after two months of abuse, it looks as good as new. I have the white one as well, but it just did not look good to me compared to the grey, so I have not used it much. The navy blue is pretty sharp too. My GF uses the navy on her white iphone, and loves the contast. She didnt like the white either.
Really? Of course it's not free. Yes, yes we all know they make money from the "shipping" but for $4 it a reasonable price to test it out.
*sigh* Sometimes I wish people that have nothing to do but complain, should just not post.
Common sense tells you that of course shipping is going to cost you. The title doesn't read free case and free shipping. Just free case. And the case is, in fact, free!
Looks like Zoogue is refreshing these cases again. Still "free," but with some new colors (replacing others?), and the camera cutout is noticeably bigger:
They also removed the BS "for best results, please remove the case when taking photos with flash" language that used to be in the product description, so seems like arguably this case's biggest flaw has been taken care of. I'll be interested to see if they also improved the fit around the sleep button.
I already own three of these cases, but I do really like that new, deep red color. I'm sure I'll eventually pick up that plus a new white one, because I really like how the white looks (though the old one stained pretty quickly).

Does the camera issue seem to be fixed on this now with the redesign?
Also how easily does this case scratch the back of the phone? Does the material they use scratch it or is it quite good?
People who are using it, has it caused any scratches on the back of the phone?

I think these cases worked well for the first version, then the second one, when they added the navy, the brighter (?) red, the bright pink etc., the fit was not so good.
I got an early version "grey" and the fit was fine, no sticker was needed and there was no bulge. I still use that case to this day, it's excellent!
Then I ordered the navy & light blue colors and they shipped with stickers and the material seemed noticeably stiffer with a not so good fit at the top which made the case fit awkward and I never use those 2 cases.
Now there's another new version with a larger camera cutout, but is the bulge still there? Has anyone received any of these new models yet? I'm interested because I'd make a ton of orders if I knew if the fit was back to how it used to be.

These new ones fit perfect. Tapping the back of the case while it's on the phone produces a nice, rock-solid sound. I love these things. And at a rate of about $3 each when it's all said and done, I'm not complaining at all.
Well, even on the not-so-good ones I received the fit on the back was always snug. And I never even cared about the loose sides. The only thing that got me on the 2nd version was the power button and the top being bubbled/warped when actually on the phone.
If that's gone everyone should order this case.

I read somewhere that it makes the signal slightly worse. I'm rather doubtful (thought only metal would do that) but has anyone experienced this happen on their iPhone 4S with a case on?
I didn't see Paypal.. I paid by my card. Done it twice now with no issues and these guys are really good on shipping fast.
