Shumuri Slim Case - iPhone 6

[FuzzMunky]

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.

Good sleuthing skills. I have one on order.

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

I ordered the grey one from Shumuri last week and just dropped $5 for a blue one on Amazon. For $5, definitely worth a shot! I'll post pics too.

Well done Vertigo50! Looks identical to me and probably made in the same factory for $0.10 cents each. Lol!

The only difference I see is that they do a black rather than a grey colour.

I can't get this S5 camera to focus very well so this is the best I could do :/

Yeah, but I wonder if it's actually the gray color just named differently. I know the photo looks darker, but it's probably a render anyway.

Could well be the case.

Nice!

With a few of these recent Shumuri reviews in here, spending $5 as opposed to $20 + international shipping is a no-brainer.

That way if I get a shoddy product, I won't feel too bad for dropping 5 bucks. And the return/exchange process will be much easier and quicker.

any photos of this amazon uk case on an iPhone 6 or 6 plus please? I need a case as my shumuri ships october 20th!

Thanks

Here you go!

Amazon UK cheap version of Spigen Air. Black and clear / frost version shown variously on the Space Grey and Siver/White iPhone 6.

I've seen some interest in this case around the boards but haven't seen a place with any concrete information. This thread is devoted to any information or questions related to the Shumuri Slim Case for the iPhone 6 (http://shumuri.com/collections/all-products/products/slim-case-iphone-6)

I pre-ordered the grey transparent earlier this week. Once I have more updates, I will post them here.

Please feel free to join the discussion!

Is this or the one on Amazon available for the iPhone 5S?

Is this or the one on Amazon available for the iPhone 5S?

Yep. Here's a search on Amazon for the seller who does the iPhone 6 case, with all of his iPhone 5/5s cases. Look for 0.3mm if you're looking for something similar.

Shumuri has them as well, though their shipping is expensive, and a bit slow because it comes from China.

find any 6+ of this?

 

[Fisher624]

This case does scratch pretty easily. Maybe that's a symptom of all these type of case though. The spigen air skin also scratched quickly. I'm not talking about gouges or anything, just little scratches, but they're there after only 2 days.

 

[CD3660]

Yes, something I have noticed too. Fine for a cheapo case. Not so acceptable when you're paying so much, in my opinion.

 

[Vertigo50]

find any 6+ of this?

Doesn't look like it, but keep searching "Johncase iphone 6 plus" on Amazon, and maybe they will add some in the future?

You could also try contacting the Workaholic John seller on Amazon and see what plans they have. There is a link to contact their Customer Service on this page. Good luck and let us know what you find out!

Thanks - I just ordered a couple. Worth a go.

Haven't got my Shumuri case yet, but tbh, I'm kinda regretting it now.

Build quility seems to be a problem and for £15 inc postage, i could buy 5 from Amazon UK!

and I suspect will be identical. Not nearly identical, identical. I will report back when I get mine though to confirm.

What kind of material is the case made of?

Is this slippery hard plastic as it seems?

It's hard plastic, but with a slightly textured feel to it. It's not exactly "grippy" but it's not slippery like those smooth cheap plastic cases can be.

Shumuri Slim Case - iPhone 6

What kind of material is the case made of?

What Vertigo50 said is correct. It's made of polypropylene to be specific.

--------------------

I feel bad for those who had to pay customs duties and for delivery. I didn't have to pay for anything other than the price of the case and the shipping. Other than that, it got delivered to me without any extra charges.

My clear case arrived today for my Space Grey 6. Love it!

Material is very very thin as expected, conforms nicely to the shape of the device, snaps on snugly.

Adds a slight feeling of grip to the device but I wouldn't call it 'grippy' per say.

The 'clear' is more of a frosted/opaque white, which I think makes the Space Grey look more similar to the silver - which is possibly what's caused confusion in other people's photos.

Be aware that if there's any dirt or dust trapped between the case and the device, it will show up very clearly. Gonna have to take the case off, clean, then reapply, I can see dots of stuff in there, and a hair!

Overall though, lovely case!

Has your Amazon case arrived? Or are you speaking in general about polypropylene? Reason I ask is that my eBay Veil alternative arrived and while both it and the Veil are made of poly propylene, the feel of them is very different. I wrote about it in the Caudabe thread. Whereas the official veil was slightly slippy still- arguably more so than the naked phone, the eBay case is very grippy.

Which one is this? The Shumuri or one of the other ones?

Your eBay one may be TPU instead of PP. But no, I haven't received the Amazon order yet. I'm actually going off the Spigen Air Skin I have, but assumed the other PP cases are pretty similar. They may even all be coming from the same factory.

I'll definitely post photos and an update when I receive them. I ordered clear and black.

By the way, what does everyone use for photo hosting? I've been using TinyPic, but it sucks.

It's definitely PP. Just a different grade.
I just uploaded the photos as attachments using the paperclip thing.
