When I ordered it, they emailed me stating that they were having production problems and couldn't get it to turn out correctly and consistently. Guy seemed pretty bummed also.
Got a tip for us?

I got this case in lime. I like it, but it's bulkier than I expected. Contemplating swapping it for the Belkin Grip Candy Sheer.

Exactly what I did!
I can assure you the Belkin is a far better case, and slimmer.
What color Belkins are you all using? I'm trying to find one that is a little translucent on the back side so that the Apple logo may show, trying to keep that look of the slate showing from my black phone.
I have the black translucent with green sides. Sadly, the black iPhone Apple logo does not show through the Belkin Grip Candy Sheer cases. You will only be able to see the logo on the the white iPhone.
Having said that, it is a decent case, especially for the low price.
I didn't want to read through 15 pages, or start a new thread. Do any of the Spigen cases have a lip around the screen for "lay on the table" protection? It's hard to tell on their website/Amazon.
Thanks for the input, you've convinced me.
If you want to sell your lime Spigen, message me
Very minimal, and may depend on which screen protector.
With powersupport, just a hair.
I went back to Tones. It's thinner, smaller, better lay on table protection.
I like the look of the Slim Armor, but the back is sort of slippery. And is it just me or does the case have some really sharp edges?? The Tones is OK, I just don't like the look. Seems cheap.
I got the Caudabe Streamline recently. Same TPU material, but see through which I like better than the Tones. Why cover up the design of the iPhone with a design that almost copies the iPhone? Lol

Really sharp and totally uncomfortable to hold. I got the orange and black version. Great looking case. Terrible in the hand. Removed it immediately.

would it be possible if you could post some pics of your cases with those colors on? i'm deciding which ones to buy and wuold like to see what they look like on the phone. i'd appreciate it. thanks in advance!
This one might be an option for you: http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/accessory?action=accessoryDetails&archetypeId=13263&accessoryId=51822&initialPhoneId=
I have it and it looks great on my white iPhone, but I think it would work for black, too. Seems to be exclusive to Verizon stores and online.
cant decide between these three
1. Belkin sheer grip (black/green)
2. Spigen slim armor (slate or lime green)
3. switcheasy tones (black)
Just want something for everyday, slim and with enough protection...just cant decide..price is almost the same too! lol..

never mind, just bought the slim armor in slate and ordered a lime green palte from ebay for 7.99 free shipping...17.99 + 7.99 = 2 colors! i

I have all 3 in the above colors. Switcheasy Tones is the slimmest and best, IMO. All have equal protection except for slim armor front: lip is too shallow
Was using Sheer Grip last week in lime green. Nice case. But it gathers dust under the lip like crazy. Tones is air tight. Slim Armor has nicest button response, but tiny lip in front and its slippery and scratches easily.
Tones looks the best looking for front of phone. Get more for your money- screens, port plugs, cloth etc. 2 year warranty. Never shows fingerprints.

I have the spigen and tones.
tones wins, hands down.
stick with black though, the other colors get dirty.
also, consider the magpul field case. just got it, toss up between it and the tones for best case I have had.
