Shumuri Slim Case - iPhone 6

rperalta said:
I emailed Shimuri and told them that I have a space gray iPhone 6. The person that responded to me said to go for the "clear" because it will preserve the original color of the iPhone 6. The gray will not show the original color.

Very good to know. Thanks.

That's great. Which color did you opt for? :D

I haven't ordered yet, but probably leaning toward transparent now.

You're welcome. I'm afraid you won't find any reviews on the Shumuri, I've just searched but couldn't find any.

The SwitchEasy case in your link is made of the exact same material as the Shumuri, which is polypropylene (PP).

Regarding the color, the photos are indeed accurate. Turquoise is a greenish blue color. The case does not have a green shade at all. It's the exact same color of Hildon water bottles, in fact I have a bottle of Hildon water right beside me :D

If you've never seen Hildon water, this is what they look like, look at the color, the case is the exact same.

:) I think we differ on what turquoise is. I'd call the Pinlo a Mint or Mint/Aqua. Let's just call it a 'pretty' blue. I do wish there were more colors and an identical version elsewhere for easier/faster shipping. I'm combing around looking.

My problem is I like to skin my phones (Best skins ever) and want a case that can go over the skin for when I need more protection. This one isn't going to go over the skin. Maybe if it was a flexible gel type. Undecided.
 
Space gray, with the gray transparent.

I've preordered the clear one for my 6 Plus. I just chose standard shipping as the high price of expedited in not worth it in my opinion. I've got a Spigen Ultra Hybrid Clear at the moment but it adds a little too much bulk plus the the design of the way it covers the volume buttons is not perfect and the volume increase button has to be pressed hard for it to register. I'll probably keep using it until I get this one.
 
Ordered the Clear one the other day for my 6 which is soon to be delivered. I've got a Spigen clear case here in the meantime though.

Oooooh, that looks nice!

Thank you so much for posting this. And also, DAMN you for posting this. You just made my decision tougher. :)

Would you be willing to post the front at an angle and maybe the sides? Trying to see how it looks up against the edge of the screen.

Can you post pics? What is the lip like at the edge of the screen? Do you feel it when you swipe off the edge of the screen or does it stop at the aluminum?

The green might be a lighting issue. It gives the phone a transparent black look which I prefer to the space gray. I don't have a back screen protector, but if it's something similar to a Zagg I think it will fit. Haven't tried taking the case off.

I have a ghost armor back screen protector on and it was very hard to put the shumuri on. I put it on but I did damage the case. The 4 corners were damaged but you can't tell unless you look at it from close up. I believe somebody said it was hard to take off, I have even tried to take it off fearing I might finish breaking it or I'll have trouble putting it back on. Other than that I'm happy with it.
 
LadyX said:
Yes. I love very thin cases that protects from minor damage and still keep the phone's form factor. These kinds of cases are designed so that you can lie your phone on any surface without worrying about getting scratches on your phone. Or for throwing your phone in your pocket and not having to worry about keys and coins scratching up your phone. Or for protection from short drops on softer surfaces. If you're after such cases, yes it is definitely worth it. So if this doesn't fit the description of what you want in a case, then I suggest you look for something thicker and more durable.

Oh and by the way, it costs $20. Not $25.

Flexible hard plastic but maintains a good deal of structural rigidity.

First of all thank you for posting the pictures, I am going to give this case a try, I had a question for you, is the case easy to snap in and out? I bought a cheap case for my iPhone 6 until I get something better, but the one I currently use its a pain to get the cover off, I hope this case its easy to snap off the case easily without damaging/scratching the phone.

wow it looks like green

i also have space gray and wondering which one would suit best

----------

i really love the new screen, being able to swipe from the edges


does this case cover part of the edges or can we still do gestures without touching the case ?

(that's what i dislike from most cases currently available for iphone 6)

----------

too bad that the brand does not show real iphone with case on


just to have a look at how blue would look like on either white or black iphone fronts

If you actually read through this thread you will find your questions have been answered already.
 
Question for anyone who has this case: since it's such a good fit, might it scratch the phone when putting it on or taking it off?

I'm thinking abt getting one
 
well the preorders for the 6plus are up on the shimmer site. They do ship 20th October though :s
