Ultra Case - Ultra Slim Bumper

i've been watching the site for whenever white comes available. it should look/function better with the buttons from my digi bumper. i like that the mute switch isn't as hard to access as with the official bumper.
 
I have this case, got it off eBay for like 3$. Got a white one and now black one. Got a back up one also as this is definitely the case I will use permanently. The only drawback to it is that the volume buttons are very hard to press. Other than that ace case. I like the fact it is exactly the thickness of the iPhone so it doesn't add thickness to it. To protect the metal antenna band I have a luckylab transparent wrap on and the case on top. I advise the wrap as dust can get underneath and scratch the antenna. This also solved my antennagate problem. I added a matte back and privacy matte front and my phone is exactly how I want it except for the volume buttons which is really a pain to use. Hope this helps.

pics would be great
 
I bought this too and like the other user said the buttons are very hard to get to. The volume buttons and the silence switch are VERY hard to access. I stopped using this case because of that. I would recommend not getting this case.
 
I have bought a very similar one one ebay. Volume buttons are VERY hard to press and the bumper is very slippery. Went back to my Apple bumper and just ordered a SGP Ultra Slim case.

Do u still have the link to the seller?
 
Hi, will try posting pics later today, in the mean time if someone can just briefly describe how I can add pics to a post as I never did that.
With regards to grip I disagree it is rubberized so has a good grip especially with the matte screen gards. However the matte back tends to scratch easily, so I got a bunch off eBay for like 2$ a pair, whenever scratched too much, change them :). I opt for the cheap gards as all are prone to scratches so for the price of one expensive one I can have replacements I can pop on whenever an accidental scratch happens.
Again though I emphasis the volume buttons are very hard to get to but not the mute switch, that is ok. Thinking of a way I might mod the case to sort this (mabey cutting one hole between the two buttons rather than a hole for each) but then again the volume buttons don't matter to me as much as the mute switch really.
