The only thing I don't like about my poetic is that since its clear you can see lint that gets in and it's so hard to take off. If it was easier to take off I would absolutely love it.
 
Just got mine in the mail from Amazon last night. A little tough getting the phone it, but not too bad at all. So far I am really liking it, except that it feels funny since I haven't had any kind of case on it since I got it about 3 weeks ago. However I will get used to it pretty quickly.
 
Has anyone noticed any stress scuff marks on their iPhone (especially on the antenna band) after using this case for some time?

Also, what is the easiest way to install and remove the case?

The most I used mine was 2 weeks, maybe. It was a goo case, but I'm more a fan of minimalism. Not problems with the band at all, but it is incredibly hard to take off, yes. Best was to install is through the corner with the button and push it in with lots of force as you work your way around. Same goes for uninstallation since the corner with the buttons has the least amount of pull from its openings. Once you get it out of there, just pull it out until it starts to flow out.
 
I didn't have that much trouble, it only took a little force. Now getting it off is just a little trickier. But all in all this is a damned good case. I even dropped it once, oops. And it didnt even scratch the case. It was $15 well spent for sure.
 
I always feel that this the best affordable case you can find in the market currently in terms of design & functionality. Fits tight and will stay durable for quite sometime to come.

But of course, if you are the type who like to remove or swap cases around this might not be the case of your choice. :cool:
 
I use this case with a bodyguadrz back and siding and it fits snug. Just to note the other day when I placed my phone down on a flat surface I noticed a very minimal wobble. This concerned me because I was one of the lucky ones who received a flawless white iPhone. I took the phone out the case and placed them both side by side. It seems like the case has a very slight curve and has bent my phone ever so slightly. Its nothing major but I have read other post of iphones bending due to the softer metals and I want to use the case but I don't want it bend my phone permanently over time. Can anyone with this case tell me if there is a slight curve in yours, because I'm thinking I got a faulty case and will just purchase another since the price is low. Thanking you in advance!

Yes, this exact same thing has happened to me as well.
 
Old thread but how's the poetic case holding up ? Did they ever update the case with a more sturdy bottom piece ?

Not sure, but I was always amazed at how much people loved this case because it just seemed so poorly constructed. The bottom was horrible in how loose it was and the case itself was so difficult to remove. Didn't seem like it warranted all the praise it was getting.
