anyone know if the cutout for the lightning cable fits with most third party cables (e.g. amazon's lighting cable)?
 
just got the iPhone 6 case... i ordered it didn't know it wasn't the plus... but when I looked at it i noticed the bottom doesn't have the proper cut-outs?

:eek: How irritating!

The amount of jet fuel they waste on these orders is ridiculous. Sending individually from Hong Kong. Crazy. Should get hold of a US distributor and ship a load.
 
Ok, my two arrived this morning. Unfortunately, they are both defective around the headphone jack port.

They fit really well and look great but the quality, frankly, is no better than those I bought on Amazon (posted yesterday) for £2.99 each. The design of the Shumuri, however, is better in that it is more protective.

Here are some pics of the grey on a white and silver iPhone 6.

And here are some photos of the blue on a white iPhone, the last showing the defect around the headphone jack area.

Anyone with any warranty worries in relation to this case need not be concerned.

Shumuri, via Daniel Blackwood (who is very prompt at answering emails), have without quibbling promised to send out two replacements for me.

That is good customer service.
 
This is exactly what i was looking for.. A case that doesn't ruin the sexiness of the iphone. Thanks for posting.
 
Well, perhaps as a counterbalance to my bad experience with exorbitant customs charges on the Shumuri order I placed, I received 2 cases that I bought on Amazon today. £2.99 each and they are very good indeed. Same design as the Spigen Air Skin (open bottom) but even thinner. They have a full range of colours, and are a bargain! Photo shows the black version.

Here's the link:

Thanks :)

Are you sure this is the Space Gray?

Well her phone face is all black so there is no other combo with a black face right? I was a little surprised at how her phone is barely darker than my silver 6 plus. It is darker, but not much.
 
Here is the face of the phone. Like I said, it is a black face. In my opinion the difference in Silver and Space Gray backs isn't enough to justify a whole new color name.

Did you opt for standard or expedited shipping?

Please post on this forum as to whether you get hit with custom duties and/or handling charges.

i went with standard.

If they charge me custom duties then don't think i will bother, and will end up ordering the Amazon one you linked.
 
Much better fit than the Caudabe Veil. I will wait though for a cheaper alternative. 20 bucks PLUS postage is a piss-take.

I disagree. When I've spent £789 on a new phone I don't see the problem in spending £18 on a case as long as it is a good one and works well.
 
Got mine in the mail today and it is a perfect fit. I am a no case guy but this one might be on it for more than a week. Very VERY thin almost too thin,,,,but not quite. The price was a bit high for what it is but overall I'm happy.

Anyone have any luck finding something similar to this in the US? Either Amazon or another source? I'd love to try these at such a good price, but not coming up with much so far.

I ordered this one and the Spigen Air case at the same time, and depending on which was shipped first I would cancel the other one. Well, this case was shipped within a day or two, so I went to cancel the Spigen order on Amazon. Unfortunately, it wasn't just a simple click to cancel, I had to request to cancel the order as it was being fulfilled by Spigen themselves. A few days later I got a shipped email from Amazon, with a delivery date of 27 October! At the time that was exactly a whole month away. I guess they didn't get my cancel request.

As of this morning, tracking showed the case in a town 70 miles away from me. So I think I'll be getting it sooner than 27 October, or at least I hope so, lol. I'll compare the two cases, post pictures, etc for you guys.
 
Well, what do we have here? Do the stock images and especially the colors look familiar to anyone? ;)

$5 a piece, and Prime shipping eligible. Maybe we've found our US alternative? I bet you anything this is from the same factory. Also, the reviews are typical. People ordered a super-thin case and expected it to protect the phone from a 4-story drop. :rolleyes:

Great find, looks like the black isn't too transparent but for $5 definitely worth the chance

I ordered this from Amazon, for 4.99 and delivered early next week by Prime - why not?

I think it is funny though that their stock image has the same headphone port defect as have been posted here.

This might be the only case that will work with a glass full coverage screen protector, we'll see...
