I have been using the black nude for a few days and I love this case. It is seriously so thin, it doesn't feel like anything is on the phone. I was using the griffin reveal for the past few months and that case was scratched up within days. I still don't have any scratches. It feels good in hand, just as the iPhone would without any case on it.
Got a tip for us?

Once a matte finish one comes out then maybe I'll be of some interest. Nicely shaped cases. I like something that shows the true shape of an iPhone.
SwitchEasy case?
Has anybody tried SwitchEasy's new "NUDE" case? I had the rebel and I really liked the way it looked and how it had plastic and silicon to provide the best of both worlds. But when it came down to it, it was just to bulky, so I switched to an Incase slider. I like it but am thinking about switching, any thoughts?

Yes I did test the SwitchEasy NUDE Clear but immediately sold it. It's very thin and stylish but has a very tight fit that made me concerned for the chrome bezel. Moreover the case got a bad scratch within minutes despite of its double AV antiscratch coating. Mixed experience in my opinion
i'm so disappointed... i didn't expect to see watermarks (newton's rings) on a clear case from a big manufacturer like switcheasy.
but i think the colored versions won't show that, so i don't think you should worry if you're planning to get them.

Same here. Until a company can come out with a nice small matte finished case then I will continue to just go case less with my Wrapsol skin.
That sounds good. I wanted to try out that wrapsol film, but I do not want to mess it up when I put it on I want it to be perfect.
Just got my clear one in yesterday and luv it......I have had over 20 cases since the first gen and this is my favorite one....The clear one looks like there's no case on the phone
I've had the nude on my phone for 2 weeks now. The thing is impressive feeling, adds no bulk, practically invisible. Finally just setting my phone down on a table won't mean a new scratch on the back. Thats all I wanted with this case. I'm careful, I don't drop it or carry it in a pocket with keys. Just scuff protection and I'd be a happy customer. But son of a bitch...
THE F$@#ING THING HAS CAUSED MORE SCRATCHES THAN ITS PREVENTED!!!
The front surface edge of the case is practically flush with the glass screen. It doesn't curl around and lip over it, so there is an 1/8-1/16 of an inch of the chrome bezel exposed. What this causes is a perfect little scraping edge that pulls in perfectly sized debris. Everyone knows what happens when debris gets in between the case and the phone. The bezel is scuffed to hell. Seriously, I would have been better off without the case.
Also, I have regularly taken the case off and cleaned it out with a lint-free, microfiber cloth, as I can watch as the crap builds up. Its impossible to keep up with it though. As soon as you put the case back on its back to pulling more debris in. Maybe if I had cleaned it out every couple hours and never put it into my pocket I could have prevented this, but wtf. This shouldn't be necessary. It doesn't give any peace of mind what-so-ever and only forces you to be more vigilant! The exact opposite of what a case is supposed to achieve.
The only offering cases like this can provide is scuff and scratch protection. Not only has it flat out failed at this, but it expeditiously CAUSED exactly what it is supposed to prevent!
I guess to get the kind of protection I want I'll have to go to a zagg shield.. Otherwise add bulk, cover up the prettiness, but seal the gaps as it appears the speck candyshell does.

I just got the black one and I am liking it so far. My only complaint so far is it smudges very easily. Touch it a few times and fingerprints are everywhere. Does the clear case tend to smudge as easily? Do any of the available colors hide the fingerprints better?
The clear version smudges very easily as well - it's one of the reasons I got rid of it.
I recently bought a clear "Nude" and unfortunately, there are tons of watermarks on the back. It almost seems lose fitting. I contacted them and after several emails back and forth, they are agreeing to send me a new one, just have to decide on a color. I have to say that I am very disappointed with their customer service, especially after dealing with Incase's great customer service a couple of times. Anyway, I love the way it felt, almost as if there was nothing on it. So I recommend the case, but maybe choose a color as opposed to the clear.
Offering to send you a new one in a different color free of charge? Wow, that sounds like AWFUL customer service.
It was, considering that I had to argue with them for an hour about how the case was defective. Usually in my experience with these companies, they strive to make their customers happy, instead of saying "you just have to clean it, it's not our fault."
Maybe you should read the thread right by this one about MyGearStore.com and see what poor customer service really is.
I see what your saying about having to argue, but I think your being overly critical. Maybe they don't have top tier (top 1% of all companies) customer service, but I don't think its fair to say that they have VERY poor customer service.
