Here's a few pictures of my Spigen champagne bumper. Sorry for the poor image quality, the only camera I have access to at the moment is my iPad 3rd gen.

Some things I've noticed after receiving the product:
  • Only the apple charger is compatible with the case, my Amazon charger is not compatible
  • The white part of the case seems to be prone to staining. However, I have been able to clean the bumper with Antec tech wipes
  • The champagne portion of the case is indeed plastic
  • The case fits well, I do not notice and looseness (disclaimer: this might be influenced by the fact that I have a full-body Ghost Armor installed).

Thank you so much for those pics! Really appreciate it! I see that Antec also offers it in a spray bottle! Might have to pick one of those up! Unless the wipes are better?

One small gripe I have though...it seems like those silicon edges protrude a little to much for my liking. Compared to my black Apple bumper on my iP4, it seems a bit more "bulgier" lol I guess that's the compromise for protection! All in all, looks good! Can't wait 'til Monday!

I own both Antec's spray and wipes. I use the spray for cleaning products while at home and I carry the wipes with me to be used on-the-go. If you only want to buy 1 product, I'd suggest the spray. The wipes can be a bit inconsistent in moisture levels.

Thanks for the suggestion! I already went ahead and ordered the 2 bottle spray pack from Amazon last night!
 
My case combo....for now

I'm sure I'll end up trying a new case setup in the near future...

I've got the Caudabe Veil and the Luvvitt Clearview. I like th Caudabe because of how thin it is but I like the Luvvitt because it shows the gold better. But the feel of the Caudabe is much nicer than the Luvvitt.

I just end up switching between the two depending on my mood!
 
Spigen Linear Crystal Champagne Gold :cool:

Finally received my Gold 32GB on the 21st! for T-mobile after a month of waiting! I know a couple people already posted the Spigen Neo Hybrid EX Slim in Champage, but just wanted to show off some of my shots. Case feels very light, yet tight fitting. Comfortable in the hand. It's a pain at first to put it on and off as it's 2 parts. Trying to take it off several times to show it off the first day, my screen protector got bubbled on the lower right hand side. Thought I would give up on the case and just use my Apple brown leather case. Now after a week of using the leather case, I went back to my Spigen and I just can't resist! Protects yet still shows the elegant gold color on the back! I'm back in love. Plus, the installation was a bit easier this time! I'm using an SPG Ultra Crystal Screen Protector along with a BSE Matte Backside Protector.

Photos taken with an iPad 4. Apologize in advance if the quality is not up to par.

I made the mistake of putting on the bumper a few mins after applying the matte protector. On the second pic you can see some bubbling in the back, and the skin still needed some time to dry. Those went away after a while and it looks perfect now!

Thanks for the very well written review.
 
Graft Leverage

I have this in black for my 5, and it's one of my favorites. Still waiting for a gold 5S, but thinking of this as a protective case when I need one.

Thanks for the very well written review.

My pleasure! On another note I had my phone in my back pocket while driving in the car. After I took it out, the plastic shield was shifted out of place a bit. Just had to nudge it a bit and voila! Perfection! I would recommend this case. Love that the slimness of the phone still shows through. I haven't done any drop tests on it, but will report if I have an accident #
 
To the two guys with the Spigen Neo Hybrid EX Slim gold cases. Will that work with a GLASS screen protector?
