In what way is this better than the Candyshells?

No one seems to have mentioned any peeling of the softer material. Judging the pictures, it would also seem that the harder outer shell on the UAG would be less prone to scrapes and scratches than the glossier candyshell. But I don't have one, so this is also speculation.
 
I have had more comments on this case than any other case I have- everyone who has noticed it has liked it - my only concern is the bottom of the case getting looser over time as has been noted by others
 
Ordered the Moss version over the weekend from Amazon, should have it Wednesday. Looking forward to this as the only case i've had before was the standard AT&T black and blue 2-piece plastic case. I've only had a 4S since Saturday and it's already slipped out of my hand 3 times, thankfully just on to the carpet at home. I'll post pics when it comes in.

Just feels better and although it is still early, have not heard any comments about the back of it scratching, which is a big complaint about the CS. The case is light and has a great look to it. Fit is perfect. Ports are all accessible. It truly is one of the best cases I have ever used and seen on the 4.
 
It's Definetly easy to pocket no cling to your pockets. The silicon used is not of the sticky sort. The hard back plastic casing is definetly scratch resistant from my experience. I have to agree with up above its my personal favorite case as of yet.
 
Great photos already posted, so decided to show the packaging:

It comes with a cloth and front screen protector.
 
Just ordered this one from Amazon and received it today. It's the Outland version (aka the rust-colored one). It's a really nice fit. Just like everyone else, I have some concerns about the silicon at the base, but I imagine it has to remain flexible for removal because the case is pretty rigid.

A few more pics here.

So how exactly does the case go on? Is it a slide in and cap it off? I sometimes need to remove the case in a hurry so I want to be able to remove it when ever I want.
 
The phone is inserted into the case. Just like using a tpu or gel type case but much harder to install and remove. Think speck candyshell
 
its not that hard to remove- if it was really easy to remove the case would be too loose on the sides...its just right
 
A month later, and I am still enjoying this case very much. Only removed it once and ended up removing the Invisishield off the back of the phone, but don't really need it with the back fully covered by the case. Have no problems at all with this thing, and my desire to change cases every hour is now gone.

Everyone else still enjoying theirs? Gotta say, I have tried numerous cases, but this is the first one I have really been taken by.
 
White Case

I really want to purchase the white case for a black iPhone 5. But I am concerned with the textured plastic back in terms of it getting dirty. Anyone with the white case find it gets dirty/stained/discoloured quickly?

It does not discolor at all.
 
Got the Aero in just now! So far I can say that I now want all the other colors as well!! Feels great in the hand and pocket, not as thick I as was thinking it might be, that's good! Pictures as soon as someone will let me borrow there phone!
 
The Aero color matches the color of the aluminum part of the iPhone (back protector on mine), where visible at the camera hole.

I consider myself an iPhone case connoisseur. Owning and iPhone from day one, by accident. And having used Incase , Speck Candy Shell, Otterbox defenders, commuters, the LifeProof, cheapo amazon cases and everything in between (between me and my wife)

Loving the case so far! No regrets! Returned a Speck BestBuy edition Candy-shell for this. And his is a much better choice even though I have always been a fan if speck products this case doesn't scratch like the candy-shell and offer same protection. Rubber on this case does not feel or look as though it would peel or wear like the candy-shell

Thanks for posting this!!! Seems like they have modified the bottom cut out from one whole section to three parts which is good if you ask me to make the front face, bottom part more stronger....has anyone else seen that?

I ordered mine just now after seeing this one!!! :p
