I got no problems with my 5S. This case lost the color with the time.. It's only when i put the case with the iphone like everybody, it's only the frictions where i put it, but just after a month to buy this case ..

My iphone never fell :rolleyes:

I think, i bought a fake Tough Armor on Amarazon.. This armor is painted after the creation..

Did you get the Spigen certificate of authenticity with the case?

It was missing .. It's why i suggest it was a copy .. And, when we see this case after 1 month .. It's a copy but the seller accept without problems to pay off :cool:

I send a request to Amazon.. I hope, the other case are in better quality..

I'm french, also, it's why i bought on Amazon ;)

Anyone using this with iPhone 5s that could tell if it eliminates the rattling sound from the power button?

It does not eliminate the rattle completely with the case on . Although it does seem like it's a bit less than without the case.

I'm really stuck with a case for my 5s; ordered a Spiegen SlimArmor S yesterday but have seen and read that it has almost no lip over the front of the phone. I was looking at this tough armor but the gaping HOLE in the middle of the back of the phone makes zero sense to me.

I'm just looking for a decent protecting case without glossy plastic all over it :(

The hole is easy to fix… just get a Spigen Crystal Shield screen protector that includes the back shield as well… they are cheap on Amazon and prevent it from getting scratched where the hole is.
 
How does the Tough armour compare to the Slim armour S especially against scratching on the back plate?

I really liked the design of the Tough Armor, but the Otterbox-style hole in the backplate annoyed me as well. The Tough Armor for the 5C and Galaxy S4 don't have this. I'd rather have the scratch and dent protection over the entire back, than have a hole just to show off the Apple logo.

I wish they were cheaper though

Yeah. I already bought two tough armor cases and one slim armor s. I got a deal on the tough armor bundle (1 glass screen protector and 1 tough armor) for $30. But they didn't offer gold, so I got satin silver. I sold that to a friend for $10 and bought a gold one. Then I bought a gold slim armor s because I like that case too. I see that offer individual back plates for the slim armor but Im not sure if they will fit the slim armor s. Anyways, Im glad they are finally do this so people don't have to buy multiple cases.

Unfortunately the back plates for the Slim armour does not fit the Slim armour S. The S version is slimmer so the back plate won't fit properly. I spoke to a Spigen rep and they said that they will soon have the Slim armour S backplates

Nice thank you.
 
My Tough armour and Slim Armor S in Champagne gold just came in to match my gold iPhone 5s. It looks so nice especially the slim armour s. I read that the back scratches easily so I'm thinking if i should spray some clear coat on it to prevent it from happening
