apple isn't here to design their os around the few who have restrictive cases.

also, you have to swipe outside of the screen due to the presence of dock icons.

It is not restrictive. It does not obscure the touchscreen.
Swiping outside of the touch interface is stupid.
maybe your next dream will be about getting a different case.

I'm sure it's a fine case, but I notice it covers the bottom portion below the screen, but leaves the top portion above the screen wide open. Why protect one and not the other? If the bottom were constructed like the top, you wouldn't have any problem.
Yes I would.
Why do you have to swipe on the bezel for Control Center, but not for Notification Center?
because there are dock icons that would be pressed. I have already explained this. It's not hard to understand.
Again; Apple doesn't care about your case. They designed their OS with the assumption that most people would have some real estate to scroll up from the bottom of the screen. Most cases don't cover that area, and the ones that do are obnoxious.
This is a problem entirely of your own creation. Entirely. You chose a case that covers the home button area (and not a particularly protective or nice case) and you must deal with potential usability issues.
It is 2013 and gestures exist.
I'm sorry, I did not buy the iPhone with the intention that I would have to use both the bezel and the touch screen to do something that should've been entirely touch from the start.
It may work for some, but the fact that this is control center, it's just not as reliable as double tapping the home button in iOS6.
So I will not be upgrading and it's getting harder and harder to like Apple products.
I bet you if they included that gesture for Notification Center, you wouldn't have been happy about it. And your answer, "because dock icons would be pressed" well there's icons around the top bezel too, so that's not an excuse.
it's not reliable because you have an obnoxious case on your phone.
You will not be upgrading to iOS 7 (a massive improvement on 6) because of your ****** belkin case. Dream about that.
It's getting harder and harder to come to this forum and read the ridiculous nonsense some of the people here post.
There is also a status bar which acts as a buffer.
To the main issue, this is why I didn't buy a Defender. The NC was too hard to drop reliably.
As far as 7 goes, I'll pick it any day over 6.x. The multitasking is so much better let alone all the other features. I'll never understand why people get caught up in the minutiae and don't see all the great improvements.

There's a list of things I don't really like about iOS 7 but hey I can't do anything about it.

So, I've read four posts of yours in this thread. I deduced, you have issues of your own. An idiot so to speak.
The control center is meant to be used from wherever you are. Not just at the home screen. It still doesn't work.
Out of curiosity, what's the usefulness of covering that bottom area? There's not much to rally "protect" there and it doesn't look that good, especially compared to the completely uncovered top which unbalances the whole thing.
The Belkin Flex cases are gorgeous. Minimal branding, soft yet resilient.
It holds the case into place. It also looks more uniform, when I want to disguise my white iPhone 5 as a black one on business days.
