I ordered the same case on monday and got it today. I also have the casemate barely there and this case is by far the better and more quality of the two.
 
how did you like the case on the phone? i felt it was really tight and its pretty rough on the bezel when you put it on or take it off. might be a problem especially with all the scuffing going on.

It is very tight and fits snug. I don't see it scratching the phone because its plastic. It takes metal to scratch anodized aluminum.
 
Post up some pics. Mine left TX on Wednesday night and I haven't heard from it since :-(. I'm in NY.
 
Yes pics please? In what ways is it better then the case mate one? Would you say it's thinner or the same?
 
Awaiting mine after USPS messed up the shipping...left facility in Dallas and I live in the DFW area. Somehow ended up at the southern tip of Texas :mad:

Ordered off Amazon. Hopefully I'll get in Monday. People using this as a temporary case until more get released?
 
Can you answer a question for me about this case? Does it have a "lip" on the sides of the screen? In other words, if you slide your finger off the side of the screen, do you feel the case, or is it flush or lower than the screen surface?

The case mate has a lot of extra plastic that isn't necessary. I can take some pics of them side by side.

It has a tiny lip. I wouldn't trust it in a frontal fall.

That's a little disappointing. Does it feel like it's in the way when your fingers or thumb are near the edges of the screen?

I really wish I could find one with no lip. My iPhone 4 case sat below the screen, and I loved it. I don't really care about "protecting" the screen, I'd prefer being able to swipe past the edge.

im putting some pics up so you can see.

Here are some pics comparing the rearth rime slim to the Casmemate barely there. The rearth has a rubbery quality feel and the casemate feels like the cheapest plastic you could imagine. The cut is also odd and makes the phone look ugly. Reart is blue casemate is white.

Thank you SO MUCH for taking those pics. That helps a lot, and the lip doesn't look too bad. Might have to order one.
 
I recieved my Friday about 20 minutes before my phone was delivered (the timing couldn't have been better). I gotta say, I ordered this for a temporary case till I decided if I wanted to put a skin on my phone as I have with all my previous ones. I am pleasantly surprised by the fit and finish. I had never heard of this company before and thought for $10 I couldn't go wrong.

It's got a nice "feel in the hand" design, and barely adds any bulk to the phone. You can't even tell its there. I may just end up rocking this case for a while. As cheap as they are, you really can't go wrong getting one.
 
I bought 2 of these one in white for my wife and one in black for me. They fit perfect and are very minimalistic. I also installed Glas t Tempered glass screen protectors and these 2 products go great together.
