Wow, that looks slick! Thanks for posting this. I am glad I got the grey! Now to wait several weeks for it to arrive (6+).
Got a tip for us?

Shumuri Slim Case - iPhone 6

How accurate is the one on their site? Is it darker or lighter than this photo?
----------
You want a different kind of case than we do. I personally want one as thin as possible. I don't care about the camera lens, because it's sapphire. As long as I don't lay it down on any diamonds, it won't get scratched.
Hard to really compare due to unknown lighting in their pic. I would say a bit lighter - what is incorrect on this pic is the apparent logo/text indentation near the bottom of the case and the iPhone itself isn't that dark.
----------
It really is very nice. I'm pretty impressed with the precision of the case mold itself. It's a perfect fit.
Just got my case today and love it.
I knew what I wanted and this case is it.
I got a space grey with the Grey case so you all have seen it already. No need to post pics.
Only draw back was 30 minutes after putting in my order
I had a change of heart on color and wanted blue, so I sent an email and got a reply very quickly telling me they will make a note on my order for a color change.
Here is the email response..
Dear Kevin
I quickly checked on the system. The order was processed before adding the note regarding the color change.
We will arrange another express shipping for a blue case on friday (since today and tomorrow day off in Hong Kong).
For the grey case that you already received, there is no need to ship it back.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
Regards
Daniel
That's is the customer service a lot of company's need to follow.
Thanks Daniel@Shumuri

I spoke to Daniel a few times and he's been great. How long did your first order take to receive?
I ordered late at night on the 25th and received today. Paid extra for shipping of course.
So I emailed and asked if they have any other photos, especially of the clear case. This was the response:
Thank you for your interest in Shumuri. Unfortunately we don't have more photos on the moment, all of them are on our website however if you google Shumuri, you can find a lot of pictures from our customers.
The clear case on space grey iPhone looks 99% since it has a very subtle frosted texture.
Hope it helps to make your decision
Okay, seriously? You have been shipping products for a week and you can't just snap a photo or two and send it by request? That's pretty annoying. And by the way, a Google search turns up almost nothing. In fact, several of my own photos of the Spigen Air Skin show up because they were in this thread.
----------
We still would love a few more pics if you have time. Different lighting situations sometimes help, especially with the gray one. It's hard to get a sense of how dark it is in the photos so far.

UK Buyers - A Word of Warning!
If you are in the U.K. and place an order for two cases with expedited shipping, you may end up getting stung for V.A.T. and a Parcelforce handling charge totalling £21.61p which makes these cases price out at over £30 each! Ouch!
Yes this has happened to me, and I feel a complete mug to be honest. I just hope that they are good when they get here (tomorrow).
I ordered a grey and a blue case on Friday, and because I want everything YESTERDAY, I paid for expedited shipping. Little did I know that the customs man considers the postage to be part of the value of the goods (the logic escapes me).
Shumuri were faultless. They acknowledged the order straight away and I got shipping confirmation within about 12 hours, on Saturday morning.
The goods arrived in the U.K. the next day, on Sunday evening, then sat around awaiting customs inspection for 2 days, and then another day awaiting customs charging. Had I not been proactive in tracking the package online, I would, no doubt, have had to wait another day or two for HMRC or Parcelforce to contact me by letter asking me to pay the charges. I phoned and paid (under protest) this morning. £8 in V.A.T. and £14.61 Parcelforce 'handling fee'. Outrageous for 2 cases which I bought for approximately £12.95 each.
My advice is buy only 1 case at a time (i.e. place separate orders if you want more than one), and use standard shipping. That way you shouldn't have a problem because goods up to £15 are exempt from duty. Even then though, the standard shipping may tip you over the £15 exemption limit meaning you'll still get stung!
Just calculated that in U.S. dollars, these two cases cost me $99.05. Fool or what!
Anyone else had a similar experience?

I'm waiting to see real life pictures of the clear as well. I will probably go ahead and order it anyways, as it seems like everyone is getting the grey. I am the type that goes naked but every once in a while if I am doing something outdoors that might put my phone at risk I like to throw on a case. This case is perfect, I know it wont help with bad drops but I just want to avoid any dings and scratches to the body. I have a screen protector on as well.
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.

Dang, they don't ship to US. Looked like a decent option to try for $5!

Okay, you know this was coming, but how does the lip feel?
Seriously, though. When you swipe on and off the screen, do you feel the lip or does it stop at around the aluminum part? I know this sounds obsessive, but I'm really hoping to find a cheaper and faster alternative to the Shumuri that doesn't have the darn lip!

I ordered a Shumuri case and wish i had seen these on Amazon!
Probably only missed them because i shop 99.9% of the time with Amazon Prime eligible items only!

One Shumuri case shipped to the US (using standard shipping) is $28.99, so it's not that much of a difference. Those Amazon UK cases look great. I'd buy several at that price. I wish they shipped to the US!
