Review: Power Support Air Jacket Clear iPhone 4 Snap On Case with Scratch Test

Had mine for a couple of months now (the original model from Japan, off Amazon). No scratches whatsoever on mine. Fingerprints are awful, but that's to be expected with a clear case.
One issue I do have is some crackling at the very edges inside where the back joins the sides (looks like cracked ice) from removing and reinstalling the case. So I can't call it a good choice if you feel you need to clean the inside regularly (I don't, seems to stay clean enough on its own) or if you need to swap SIM cards frequently.
Looks fabulous with my printed DecalGirl skin though, and overall it's holding up pretty well. Best of all, unlike every "frosted" soft touch case I tried or the colored Apple bumpers, there's absolutely no staining on it, so it doesn't get the filthy look the others did within days or weeks.

Hey guys. I am thinking of getting this case but can some one tell me if the case completely covers the sides too?
Got mine for 3 days now. I must say I really like this case better than the switch easy nude case, what i just dont like about is the dust on that comes in the shiny part of the phone and its a bit hard to press the power button. And the volume button but still its ok. The other thing is when ypu have a plastic protector like the ones in the screen the at the back of you iphone water mark can be seen at the back, but i fpund a solution I cut out a piece of tin plastic around half an inch by 2.5" from the plastic that houses the screen and put 2 of them near the edges of the phone from protectors included and the water mark is gone. This prevents the case and the back of the iphone to be close enough and have the water marks. On the naked eye you can see the cut out plastic but its better that to see the watermarks.
Other than that i love the case coz the sebum from your hands can be easily wipe by a clothe and the grip and handling is ok again just like the first time you opened and used it from the box.
Ive used cheap cases before coz there was no available nice and premium cases before when iphone 5 was released. And yes its expensive compare to those cases but I can say its worth it. Its really slim and you get to enjoy and preserve the look of the iphone. Its been a long time that ive been looking for a case like this that covers the top to bottom part of the iphone as i like my iphone 5 looks still there.
All in all its one of the best cases out in the market now. And i can say that if u want a slim case this is the best for you.
