SwitchEasy NUDE for iPhone 5

Cool :)
Do you get any watermarking effects on the back of the phone?
Also I'm just worried about the sides of my phone getting scratched with the case.
Still not sure whether to purchase..
 
When is Tones shipping? I really liked the Eclipse. But this looks like an improved version of it

Well it currently says 'Pre - Order' for the Europe part of their website and states delivery at '1 week'. I might wait until I see a review of this case on YouTube before I take the plunge. Also looking forward to the 'Rebel' version as well which, no doubt, they will also release.

On the back, you can't see through to the apple logo at all, nor any of the slate. It is a little shiny and has a certain "sheen" to it. Not so reflective that it's like a mirror though.

I'm fearful of scratches too. Part of me wants to take it off and check while the other part of me says I'm better off not knowing, lol.

Sorry not real sure what to tell you...even after having it in hand. History says I'll buy another case or two and then end up going naked after a couple months when the newness of my phone wears off. It's just so sleek without a case. Would hate it if I dropped though...

Thanks.
I'm just using a sleeve at the moment. Love the feel of the bare phone. But i feel the need for something else to protect the very 'scratcable' aluminium back. May just go for one of these. Quite good value with all the goodies that come with it..

Only had it a few hours but it's clear that the back (black) is a fingerprint magnet.

Black phone or case?

Both black phone and black case.

The back of the case looks to collect fingerprints pretty easily. Not a deal breaker. Just something to be aware of. Easy to wipe off on a sleeve or something.

Mind posting photos of the back?
 
Got my Nude in the mail today The Ultra Clear version. And all my buttons are very responsive and easy to use. The case fits great, and with the back protector on, it is a very tight and snug case.

The only thing I don't like but I can live with is the rainbow effect on the back of the case with the back protector on it. Other wise it is a nice, well built case.

On another note, I also got a Switcheasy Colors today as well. And I put it on my phone and took it back off. It feels like a cheap Chinese case I would get at a local drug store. Not impressed. That one will be going back to Switcheasy.

does the back protector cover the whole back of the phone or just the metal?
 
apparently he fixed the case.. so for those that are having button issues.. email the support he will send you a updated one out.

that being said got my black one today the buttons all worked fine and where responsive. i love the thinness .. think im going to keep it till desmay finally releases his case.

Got my "Nude 5 UltraBlack" in the mail yesterday. As others have said, the back in not nearly as transparent as in the advertisement photo. It fits well and adds protection to the back and sides without sacrificing it's slim form factor. My one complaint about the screen and back protectors. They're shaped fine, but the edges lift slightly and I could see that scratching badly if dust was to get in between the protector and the surface. Concernss me enough that I may take them off.
 
I got the ultra black Nude through yesterday. As others have said, it is nowhere near as transparent as in the images on line which doesn't bother me too much. On fitting the case I found the volume buttons to be unresponsive and the volume would go straight to max on unlocking the phone. I e-mailed Switcheasy support who cam back to me very promptly and advised that I use a ballpoint pen to push the buttons outward prior to fitting the case and this did resolve the issue for me. I am happy with the case for now as it doesn't make the phone bulky and gives the protection I need. I am sure I will change it when there is more choice in the coming months but for now it does the job. Tried to get a photo to show how transparent it is(n't) but the surface is too reflective to give any meaningful idea. I can make out the :apple: logo and the iPhone word in the right light but the smaller manufacture information cannot be seen at all.
