My case came faster than expected! It was supposed to take 6-10 days and it took 4. Easy to put on my phone and the colors are great and more vibrant than in the picture. Like others have said though, the pictures with flash do come out a little yellow. I experimented with some white nail polish around the rim of the camera hole but unfortunately it just made the photos have a tint of white. I'm reluctant to try black nail polish because if it doesn't work it'll be much, much harder to get off the case. Hoping someone will come up with an idea to de-yellow the photos. Otherwise I love the case.
|
|
The case is very pretty and sleek. However, my screen shattered when I dropped my phone.
|
|
For the price I think it is an awesome case. I love it, I have the White/Grey and I have no complaints so far. I would definitely recommend this to anyone else who has an I Phone 4S. I like how it is very durable and not bulky like the other brand. Overall great purchase.
|

This is the standard by which all other cases should be measured. I have dropped my phone on concrete in my garage and no damage occurred. It is well made and the inner soft shell fits snugly to the phone and the outer shell is extremely durable. It is difficult to find a case with a soft and hard shell combo. Most cases are either/or, but this one has both covered. Moreover, the case maintains a slim profile and thereby not compromising the phone's inherent slimness.
This is my first case-mate and they have a new customer for life. All my future cases will be case-mate!

I purchased this for a friend as a gift. The exterior cracked after only three weeks. After that, pieces near the crack started to crumble off. It is nothing as the ads promote it to be.

I just got mine today and although the materials are great quality, I'm very disappointed. Now, I am critical about quality of the products I buy and I'm usually forgiving but this product won't cut it. It is so much different than in the advertised picture and video. Very poor cutting. The button hole is too big and there is a huge rectangle cutout on top where the front facing camera, speaker and light sensor are at (look at my pictures. not great quality but gets to the point). It is not pleasing to the eye at all. Even the back hole for the camera was poorly cut. I'm pretty sure case-mate can do a better job measuring and cutting. It wouldn't be so bad if the quality reflected the price but no. I advice this company do a better job next time and maybe i'll consider buying your product again. Very disappointed.

I bought the case to protect my phone. Other brands did not make a variant. The case offers substantial protection and has easily survived a few falls to date on wood floors. I will buy this case again if needed!!!
|
|
Had this for about 2 months now, dropped it accidentally while opening mailbox. A good 3 feet odd. Landed flat on screen side after rebounding off a ledge.
Removed everything when i reached home, not a scratch on either the phone and the casing. Brilliant product.
|
|
I love the case it is very functional. But I like my cases to really POP and black and white doesn't do it for me. Why is that these are the only colors you would make a case in? Thats crazy!
|
|
I've been eying the pink case for months but was sad to see it was temporarily out of stock. As soon as I saw that it was back in stock, I ordered it. I ordered it LATE Thursday evening and it arrived Saturday! Great service case-mate! And the case itself is even prettier in person, I just love it! NO complaints here :)
|
|
this is so cute and i love it.
|
|
While I love this cases look, I am very disappointed that the small piece that on the left side of the case, above the sound buttons has snapped off after just a few months of owning it.
|
|
So far it seems to be a solid and nice looking case; however, I noticed that there are some defects/imperfections that I feel should not not be present on a $50 case. I've attached pictures below for your reference:
1. Volume Button area the black Duo Flex material seems to be cut not as precisely as the one on the Case-Mate website.
2. Lower Right Side (Back of Case) has the same issue as the Black Duo Flex material on the volume button.
3. Bottom part near CM logo (Back of Case) same issue with the Black Duo Flex Material.
4. Cut-Out around the front cam and earpiece - Black Duo Flex material is not cut precisely either.
|
|
I ordered this case after first getting something else. I like it and it's been much more sturdy than I expected. Of course the front protection is slim but an all round OK case and very pretty. The design is nice and I like the colors.
|
|
I cannot believe that there are no other reviews for this product that note how quickly the pretty Jessica Swift pattern chips away. I handle my iPhone with extreme care, so I couldn't believe it when the sides and corners of my case started chipping and flaking away. Now, my kaleidoscope cover looks ratty and I'm upset that I spent so much money on such a low-quality product.
|
|
at first i debated on getting this case as i had already had the "barely there" case but had damaged after sever accidents. i thought it would be clunky and hard to manange but turns out it protects it just fine plus the design its just really cool. only problem that i have with it is when i want to charge it. its difficult to access
|
|
Great case but for a couple little annoyances.
Good feel, adds a little bulk but that's good as this phone is slick and hard to hold anyway. Had a good case from Att on my international I9100, perfect fit, but very hard buttons. This one is great for the buttons but I had a hellova time getting the liner and hard case on correctly. Perfect now. Also the exposed liner on top and bottom easily push around while putting it in and out of my belt holster. Minor annoyances. Other than that, pretty impressed.
|
|
Great case, fits the phone really nicely with easy access to all of the buttons. Looks nice, and provides great protection. The only thin they could do to make this better is to include a screen protector. Also one of the only cases for this phone to have the noise cancellation mic holes. Very nice build quality!
|
|
This case when I got it in the mail feels really good to the touch and is a well built case. It's slimmer than the other brand and feels like it is built with way better materials. I like all the port covers. Overall I would recommend this case to everyone. I have the black and white case for my white iPhone 4s and it looks awesome.
|
|
Built like a tank. It'll protect your phone from just about anything. It isn't overly bulky and the grip on this will make sure it never slips out of your hand. But it also kinda looks like a tank, and not everyone will appreciate that.
|
|
I was so excited to receive this new case in the mail. I've ordered from case.mate before and have always loved their products. I was shocked at how much brighter the colors were than what the photo showed. Also, for the mere 2 weeks I used the case, it chipped in several places. Very poor quality (aside from the black rubber shell inside - that's protective. Don't buy this case
|
|
I love the design and "cute-ness" of the Panda case, it's definitely a head turner when someone sees it. It provides a good grip when holding the phone and when placed on the passenger seat while driving, it doesn't slide around.
My major gripe about it, is that the tolerance of the camera/flash cut out is very close. When pictures are taken with the flash, the photos are washed out because the flash "reflects" back to the lens instead of shooting forward. I've found a that a little modification helps reduce the "wash-out" from the flash.
I took an x-acto knife and bevelled the curve around the flash LED. I'm hoping Case-Mate will improve the design, as I'd like to get another Panda case without any flash issues.
|
|
Finally, this case is getting close to perfect for me. The fit and finish is fantastic and precise, (unlike the last wallet case I bought from case-mate...(the hard plastic chrome wallet case was not up to pare) I think this one looks sharp, highly functional. I love the soft raised plastic that keeps the front screen off a table, and the shiny hard plastic for the rest of the case makes it easy to slide in and out of my jean pocket.
It's a little pricey, but hey, I still bought it. My only beef is I like to carry my driver's license, Visa, Amex, Bank card and a $20 bill. That takes care of 95% of my wallet needs. I wish they gave a design choice that would extend the wallet section a little deeper for people that want to carry a little more. I don't see how people can get by with room for just 2 cards. All in all, a great case!
|
|
I just noticed that I have a crack on at the top left corner of my case after reading all of the other reviews. Anyway, I do love this case. lost my phone on a roller coaster at Six Flags. Thinking my phone was long gone I planned on buying another one. Well the park found my phone. Phone was slightly damaged at the buttom cover that holds teh SIM and SD card but it was in perfect working condition. Not even a a broken or scratched screen.
|

When I compared the dimensions of this clutch and my Droid Razr, it was off by .1 or .2 inches. Thinking that leather naturally stretches.. it would fit. I received it and it fits LIKE A GLOVE. But I also ordered the Case Mate Barely There case for my phone also and with that on my phone it will not fit in my clutch.
But overall this is a great clutch. I got it because I lost my phone when I went out last weekend because my clutch wasnt secure enough. But now I'm sure that it will stay in place and that I have something to match with anything I wear!
Maybe make this same design in a saddle or maroon?

I was so excited to get this case. I have broken two iPhones and thought that this case would be awesome for protection. a week after i got it, the right side where the shutter comes from cracked. I glued it back together, then cracked again slightly higher. Then the piece in-between the two cracks fell off completely. Now, the bottom right side is completely cracked, and there is a matching crack on the left side across from the right one so the case is totally split in half. can honestly admit to dropping my phone once on the train, and immediately after a checked and there was no immediate damage. the thing thats so frustrating is that these cracks/ breaks seemingly come from nowhere. I would recommend this case to anyone who enjoys playing find the new crack every time you go and look at your iPhone. Feel like I got schemed.
|
|
I'm pretty happy with it.
|
|
When I received this privacy screen set, I put it on my iPhone right away and noticed a big air bubble on the end. I removed it and tried to put it back on again but the big air bubble was still there. Then I realized there was nothing I could have done about it because I noticed it was bent on the end due to the shipping. It was impossible to bend back because of how thick the screen was. Now I have a big air bubble at the bottom of my phone. :(
|
|
I actually bought this product for my iPad 1 because the store didn't have iPad 1 protectors. The protector still fits very well (there is a small border around). Application was very easy, just make sure the room is not dusty and you have compressed air or a pump to remove dust (don't blow on it) as well as scotch tape to remove dust from the protector (don't use fingers). As advertised, there are no bubbles! Very satisfied with this product!

Getting into a friend's car at the airport, the belt clip tore off. I did not notice my phone was gone until I reached my office. I immediately got into my car and drove back to the airport parking garage. And there it was sitting on the ground, right where we parked. I was so lucky I did not loose my phone. But i certainly won't trust this case again to keep my phone safe. BTW, the case was less than 1 year old and did not have signs of where. I have been using this type of belt holster since the Treo 300, and have never had one break like this one.
|
|
I love the screen protector and why I ditched my other case when I upgraded from 3gs to 4s iphone.
Loved (yes past tense) thowing it in briefcase with keys and such. BUT today after less than 3 months it dropped out of my pocket. yes hip to ground (tile/concrete) only.
BROKEN. right where upper side meets lower side. Whole chunk came off and there is another crack. Not so tuff in my book.
|
|
Very cute and durable. I drop my phone all the time and this case protects it. I have the pink and gray, it's totally cute and the colors are great.
|
|
For the price of this case you would think it would last a long time. I had the case for only a few months when I noticed all the corners were cracked. Now one of the corners has chipped off. Really disappointed.
|
|
I received my case a few days ago. I love it! It is so sturdy. I am so clumsy with my cell so I need a good quality case. Please make it in lime! I would definitely buy another one! Everything is covered and protected. It even comes with a cloth and screen protector. Service is so fast! Great case!
|
|
I love the design and the feel of the case in hand - it almost never slips out of my hand. However, the position of the opening for the camera is a bit off, resulting in dark shadow on the bottom right corner every time I take a picture. I have to push the iPhone up through the bottom opening where you connect to charger.
|
|
I received my iphone 4s this week and have been gaurding it very carefully against the hands of my toddlers. Once this case arrived, I was relieved to see how sturdy it felt. I am thrilled with my purchase and will most likely be purchasing more in the future.
|
|
I love the phantom. It is so stylish and cute! I purchased the aqua and white one and its wonderful! It feels so sturdy and durable, and although it is a little bulky, it's still sleek and cute, unlike the other brands, which i find too bulky and hard to use. I LOVE IT THE PHANTOM!
Not only is the case amazing, but i got my case in just 4 day even though the shipping said 8-10 days! It is just wonderful! :) I will definently purchase one again!
|
|
I love this case, gorgeous. I live in NZ and so glad I bothered ordering it from the States as I havent seen anything near the casemate range here or in Oz.
|
|
The old form factor was much nicer. When they changed the form factor to accommodate the new camera on the 4s they changed to much (they could have just changed the opening and left the rest alone. Instead the volume buttons are now exposed and the speaker area is smaller and therefore affects the volume. I have a yellow and red case styled in the old form factor and love them. In addition the new case is not as bendy, slightly thicker and doesn't properly fit in comparison to the old one. These cases no longer 'fit' the iphone 4s with the comfort of the old ones. It's to bad. Buy one if you can get the old form factor otherwise stay away.
|
|
wish it came in white.
|
|
My grandson was vry pleased with his case, and
I was very pleased with the service.
|
|
Difficult to put on because it is so flimsy, tough to line up because they are a little smaller than the screen, make the process the video shows incredibly difficult (if you use the card to rub out all of the air bubbles and then finally get to the top and find out that you were off center). Used all three of my protectors in an hour (so much frustration) and never got one without bubbles. Directions that come with the product are contradictory and hard to follow. Thoroughly unimpressed.
|
|
A really beautiful, long lasting case. I bought the single colored hot pink one before and it lasted me over a year, but this case is adorable and convenient! I want to buy another one since the honeysuckle part got dirty within two days! I cannot wait for casemate to come out with more of these ID cases, perhaps maybe a glitter one? Great buy! I recommend!
|
|
I actually purchased two of these cases. One for my mothers iPad 2 and one (without thinking) for my iPad 1. It works great for both. It is a little small on the screen for my iPad 1 (cuts off the time on top of the screen but functions just as good. There is no delay in typing for either iPad. I have found no issues with this case, and love how it folds up nicely with a magnetic closure.
|
|
ok i was fully expecting an awesome case with this. i ordered the aqua/teal case. i got the case and right off the bat they gave me the wrong color, and black/teal one. and on second it's a bit more bulkier than the original case-mate pop! the stand is really good and does what it's supposed to do. and the stand isn't thick enough for it to cause the added bulkiness to this case. over all it was an ehh... case. definite let down from what i was expecting.
|
|
they were giving this case away at the 2012 CES convention and honestly its a really durable case.
|
|
The product itself is really nice, very sturdy, very solid. The ONLY problem - and a huge one at that - is the fact that it's very difficult to take out.
The rubbery sides are the only things you can pull at in order to get the case off (whether it is because you need to do a battery pull, or just to clean the phone itself). When you pull at the rubbery sides, they start to warp, changing shapes and pulling out from the phone and the product. It is impossible to undo.
If this was fixed, this would be a perfect product.
|
|
I used this case for about 1.5 years and it held up really well. It has a layer of protective "rubber" that fits like a glove over the phone, and then the case fits on over that layer. This case saved my iPhone from several drops that would have probably otherwise caused damage! I got SO many compliments on this case. The colors are really vivid and it's a very unique design.
|
|
This is an excellent choise. The way you can take out the phone with just one hand is the main reason I choosed this product.
I have an Iphone 4 with a Case Mate "Barely There" and it fits just right (not loose, not tight). I would recommend this product to anyone. As for shipping, it took less than a week to deliver to canada (Montreal). Great product!
|
|
I love this cover. I wanted a glittery cover and looked everywhere to find one that would not just lose glitter all over the place. This cover is perfect. I got the gold and it is just a mass of sparkles. I have dropped my phone a couple of times with no cracks in the case. I have been using the case for at least a month and it is holding up well to my abuse. If you want a glitter case, I highly recommend this one!
|
|
I purchased this and loved it but something is wrong with this case. It messes up auto rotate. Out of case it works, in the case it doesn't. :( I'm very sad because this was the only case I found that I liked.
|
|
I have to admit I was pretty skeptical before purchasing this case. I purchased it after hearing great reviews from ces 2012. I am so glad I purchased the phantom case. It is a beautifully crafted and very rugged piece of art! I have had my fair share of rugged cases from otterbox defender to griffen survivor and none of them can compete with the phantom case! Thank you case-mate! All I can saw is PLEASE make this for future iPhones.
|
|
Paid 60 bucks for this with the expectation that this would be the last case I would purchase. The reviews mentioned that it was bulky, but I found it quite manageable. I never used the clip that came with it and I always kept the phone in my pocket. I am a physician so I really do not any much rough activities and if I have to I always put my phone away. The initial impressions of the case were promising, however one day after coming from dinner, I noticed that the case had a crack on the side. I believe the weak point of this case is where the protective screen meets the case body. If u look closely at this part of the case, there no underlying foam or rubber at this point. Because of this, I am disappointed with the purchase.
|
|
The right side where the slide is has broken about 6 times, I keep gluing it because I like the darn thing but they need to reinforce it with something so this doesn't happen. It has protected my phone and otherwise it's great but 6 times in different directions is excessive! If the glue failed that area would be confetti!
|
|
Just received my Case Mate Phantom in 2 colors (Black/White and Navy Blue) and its a very nice form fitting case. Very protective all around and very comfortable to hold in your hands. Case Mate did it again and a wonderful customer service team. Thanks.
|
|
I have a white iphone and I bought the the tough case. It has an inner black rubber case which goes inside the plastic Jessica Swift case for extra protection. With a black iphone, the inner black rubber casing would probably not stand out as much but with a white iphone, it just takes away from the overall look, making the phone look bulky and not very feminine. While I like the Jessica Swift case itself, I would recommend buying the Barely There version especially for white iphone users.
|
|
The String-Rose case is absolutely adorable, the colors are true to the images shown on the website and I love how slim of a case it really is. But I've had some issues with it that have been a disappointment. I first got the case as a Christmas gift and when I put it on my phone I was sad to see that one of the corners wouldn't fit. My phone popped up out of the case and no amount of adjusting helped. The case actually looked like the plastic had warped. Case-mate was fantastic and helped us get a replacement case quickly, but I was even more disappointed by my replacement! It's not that the second case doesn't fit better, because it absolutely does - it's that it still doesn't fit right. One corner still won't lock in and as a result, that edge of my phone is exposed. I'm going to stick with this case and hope for the best rather than try exchanging/returning again.
|
|
I was a little worried about the price. You never know when ordering online if the quality will be good. But I took the chance and bought it. It looks so incredible. It doesn't look like a sticker put on like other ipod cases. The picture covers the entire back of the case. The picture is so beautiful. I absolutely love it and will order other ones!
|
|
Bought the three pack for my wife and I. The first problem came when the applicator card was not included. That was disappointing. Then, likely because of that missing piece, we both have uncontrollable air bubbles.
|
|
I recently upgraded to a white iPhone, and wanted to get a sparkly silver case to go on it.
While browsing Amazon, I saw many cheaper alternatives to this Glam case, but given the website and reviews, and the fact that it said it was impact resistant, I figured I should spend more money to actually protect the phone while making it look good.
I have now had the case less than 24 hours, and when this phone slipped out of my purse onto my kitchen table on its back, two cracks immediately appeared along the top and bottom corners.
Not worth the money, unbelievably disappointed with this product! I should have spent $4.99 on other sparkly cases if this is what I get for a $40 case.
|
|
I love this case! It is so pretty and colorful and I really like that the feathers are a little raised, making them pop. It fits the phone very nicely and has a large lip around the edge so the screen is protected. The only small issue I have is that the hold button is a little hard to press but I don't even care because I love it so much :)
A great, unique case
|
|
I bought this Iphone 4 case with my first Iphone4 ATT. Great looking case, and very functional. Later moved to Verizon Iphone 4, and then Iphone 4S....and still using the same case. And the clip is fine...no issues. This clip has a tight spring, and it doesn't fall off your belt. FYI, I had the Verizon Iphone 4 case...it was sleek, had a stand on the case, but the clip was awful....broke within 3 months. So, my recommendation>> buy this Case mate product.....it's one of the best!
|
|
Always loved Case-Mate cases when I had an iPhone. When I grew out of the Apple craze and moved on to Android, I was so bitter that there seemed to be no good cases anywhere, something that is very important to me as I am quite the clutz.
This being my second Android phone and it's release being highly anticipated, I expected there to be a bigger selection of accessories. Thankfully I've found that to be true, seeing as Case-Mate at least decided to even make a case for the Droid Razr. My only request- please add a few more colors? Not everyone who likes cute and quality cases for their phones are a iPhone fanboys.
|
|
These covers are SO pretty, I was very excited to get mine, but within literally a week the design was peeling off. I have had this about a month now and almost all of the case is peeling. I feel it was expensive for a flimsy piece of plastic but at the time I felt it was worth is cause they were so pretty. I would not recommend buying one of these because you are going to be disappointed when it looks terrible in such a short amount of time.
|
|
My only complaint is that the orange looks slightly red. Otherwise, it looks great. The lines are crisp and clear. It says it fits Verizon and AT&T iPhone 4 models, but it fits my Sprint version as well.
|
|
After going through 2 broken "Barely There Brushed Aluminum" cases, in two months, Case-Mate customer service suggested I try the POP! case. The former cases broke simply from dropping the phone from waist height. The POP! case is MUCH more resilient. I've dropped the phone a few times and the POP! case has done a great job protecting the phone and is still in one piece! The black case is very shiny plastic, like piano black, but it does scratch and get dull very easily. Still looks fine though. It isn't as slim as the Barely There Case, but it's not too bulky either, and it looks very nice on the phone. The only down side to the case is that the buttons for the screen lock (top of case), volume, and camera key (right side of case) stick out very far and therefore get pressed accidentally quite often. But that slight inconvenience is worth the protection the case provides.
|
|
This case looked so good on the site. I have had the case for one month, and the pattern is starting to flake up where I hold the phone on the edges. The way the print is placed on the case seems flimsy. Not happy at all with the quality.
Contacted customer service at Case-Mate to see about a refund.
|
|
sad to say i had the EXACT same thing happen to me as did reviewer S.R. the iphone cracked on its first fall just 3 feet from the ground when i was using this case. soooo disappointed!!! the case is super cute, but doesn't do the job it was made to do. wouldn't recommend this product unfortunately.
|
|
I finally got this in gold. I LOVE it! It fits my iPhone perfectly. Very light weight and it looks amazing. I'm not understanding why folks are having trouble removing the case. This is by far the EASIEST case to remove! Ordering another case in blue!
|
|
I Love my little pandaaaa it's so cute *-* <3 i carry it everywhere i go !! I recommend it to all those who love panda !!
|
|
had previously got a case from eBay, didn't like it, too soft and terrible looking (even know is say smooth). order this, got it, feel tough and solid. Evo 3d back cover is too soft, and this is just the right product for it. recommended 100%. only thing is it may be too thick for some people. only need to find a perfect armband for it now.
|
|
The case is silicon and it partly blocks the flash of your iPhone 4 s camera. (It flashes back on the edge of the camera/flash opening and overexposes the photo) On top of that, it looses the snug fit after 1 month already. Phone fell out of case.
But it looks great and fun.
|
|
I've had this case for about 6 months. Just noticed that it is now broken at the top. It's cracked all the way from the top to the camera holes, and the piece is about to fall off.
|
|
Very thin plastic, nice rubberized feel. Doesn't cover top and bottom, doesn't fit extended battery, a little loose in the area of the speaker bump.
|
|
This is an awesome case. Totally oddball and funny. And it actually fis on my iPhone (unlike the Penguin/Waddler - which didn't fit at all!). Very cute.
|
|
I love this case! The glitter is smooth and protected under a plastic overlay, which makes it resilient to scratches. Read my full review at http://style-obsession.blogspot.com/2012/01/reviewed-case-mate.html
|
|
When I first got my new case for my iPod touch I was so happy. Than after about one day later I took the case off and I noticed a little circle and I said hmm must be a finger print and wiped it off. Than two days later I saw about three circles and said hmm its the case thats doing it. That is why I dont recommend this case to anybody.
|
|
Pros and cons pretty much sum up this review. I gave 3 stars only because of the price and color. I ordered the purple/black, and the purple is not even close to what is shown in the picture. The purple color is more like a deep lilac, not the blue/violet as shown. Also, the back side of the case has a glossy finish to it, not matte-looking like in the photo. But overall, I think it will do its job of protecting my phone and I will keep the case until I find one I like better.
|
|
This is an excellent case for the samsung Galaxy SII. It is rugged and sturdy and provides ample protection to the device. The only real downside I have found so far is the size. No one seems to make a holster that will hold the phone/case combination.
|
|
You can rate this case if what you looking for is a outstanding protection for your iphone 4.,
This is a kind of case that offers style and basic protection, without make your iphone looks like a brick.
It's so far my favorite case so far.
For the same style(slim), no one could be more close to perfection in a slim case, in my opinion than case-mate barely there.
The finishing of barely there is better, and the ability to let you have a back screen protector on the back of your iphone is priceless.
It's also offers a bit of lay on the table protection, another plus.
The only cons is to get your "baby" off the case, what can cause some tip broken nail. lol
|
|
The back protector is SICK!! It went on easily, and adhered well. Not to mention it looks great. The front privacy screen however was a totally different story. It was not easy to apply, it did not adhere well... and it is way too delicate to be handled for more than a few seconds. After the first 2 tries to get it on, it was pretty much wrecked. Also, the privacy screen works well to block the screen at an angle as it was meant to, but I found that when looking straight on, the screen was very fuzzy and hard on the eyes. I left the back film on but replaced the front with my original screen protector. Case-Mate should sell the back film by itself for $10. Lame.
|
|
I never give reviews, let's start with that. I value them, I read them. But, I had to actually give one this time. My case just arrived. I ordered the pink and white case. It's sooooo pretty! And, since I am a clutz with 4 small boys, I knew I needed something intensely sturdy. But I didn't want to give up on looks. The pink did it for me. I have insurance on my iphone, but the deductible is twice as much as this case. Worth the investment.
|
|
I've recently developed a glitter obsession and decided this would be the perfect case for me. I was disappointed that a blue color wasn't available, but the Emerald color looked like a nice turquoise color. It's more green in reality, but it's still beautiful and I definitely recommend this case.
|
|
When first received, I though "ho-hum" not much of a case as I bought it to replace my bulky, grippy black rubber case which offered great protection but was hard to slide in and out of pockets and belt cases. BUT the more I use it, the better I like it! It's sleek and the "soft touch" offers just enough grip without being "sticky." Seems to be nicely protective, except for the screen, but that's what screen protectors are for. Nice design and materials.

This pattern is so pretty in person & so far tough case I bought seems pretty durable. My biggest complaint is that one side of the case came to me looking faded which I am assuming is a screen printing issue. I would send it back but 1. I don't think I should have to pay return shipping for something that was sent defected and 2. It took long enough to get it and who knows how long it would take to receive a new one. Overall I really like the case... Its really pretty! I just wish it wasn't faded on the one side.

I love this case. I have all four colors (Please make more colors) I like to change my case to coordinate with my outfits. I love how the case protects the phone as well as the face of the phone. I can have the screen protector on and not worry about my son, trying to touch it (hasn't figured out how to get the screen yet). I've dropped my phone a few times, I just pick it up and keep on going. You don't have to worry about the case popping off or your phone being damaged. You must buy this case to protect!!!!

I love this case, it does not add any bulk to my phone. The flowers are such pretty colors.

This is such a cute phone case! I Bought the green and blue Penguin and I always get compliments. However, looks arent everything. The case it not snuggly tight on the iPhone. It is very loose and because it is silicon, its tough to put into your pocket, and when you pull it out the case comes off. Also, of you drop your phone, the Case will sometimes come off partically, making the phone in contact with the ground and therefore scratching It. I would not purchase this item, no matter how cute it is!!

Pros outweigh the cons

I bought this case to protect my iPhone 4S during "extreme" activities. I'm going skiing in February so I wanted to be prepared in case I fall and something hits my iPhone.
Order and delivery:
Ordering went very smoothly. While case-mate stated that delivery would take 3 to 4 weeks, it only took 9 days after it got shipped. So I'm a very happy customer. Thank you case-mate!
The Tank Case:
I have both a screen protector (film) on the front of my iPhone as on the back. While case-mate states that the Tank case is only compatible with naked iPhones, my iPhone does fit (with a bit of wiggling during installation) in the case. Although the protecting film on the back of my iPhone has some scratches now. But that doesn't really matter since I can easily and cheaply replace that. This also makes me a happy customer because I love the matte screen protector on my iPhone.
Thus far I've only found 2 cons but those are part of the unavoidable compromise you make when using a heavy duty case like this one:
- the mute switch can be hard to reach if you have big fingers because it lies buried in the side of the case. All of the other buttons are easily activated by the way.
- Because the screen also lies a bit buried in the case, you might find it a bit more difficult to reach certain areas of the screen. Especially the bottom left corner of the screen while operating your iPhone with only your right hand.
I
still have to test this case during an "extreme" activity but so far I'm a satisfied customer.
The main reason why I chose the Tank Case over other heavy duty cases is the sliding screen protector.

The worst part about this case is that it doesn't cover all the edges. For some reason the case isn't designed to cover the front bottom edge. My iPhone has several nicks on that edge and I am very disappointed because it should be a part of the design to cover ALL edges.

I got this for Christmas and I loved it. Waited for almost a month for it though but it was worth it. Makes me feel like I got myself a new iPod Touch when really it's turning three this year.

This cover adds personality to the phone. I purchased the pink cover and I love it. If you are looking for protection this will not do for you but if you are looking for a sleek look this is it.

Excellent case, very strong yet soft to touch. Stylish protective case without too much bulk. Screen protector included was the best screen protector that i have found. I am so happy and confident with this case that i purposely drop my iphone on the ground just to scare my girlfriend.

I've purchased 2 of these cases and love them. Highly recommend

I was looking for a sparkly iphone cover and this fits the bill. The back is very sparkly and there is a thin cover over the glitter so none comes off. The downside to this is that it makes the cover extremely slippery. The sides are also the smooth plastic. I've dropped my phone a few times since buying this cover when I never did with my other thin fushia cover from casemate. I also don't like that the sides don't have the sparkly glitter so if your phone is face up on a surface it just looks like a silver cover on it. The silver glitter is very nice and sparkly on the back but I didn't like how the casemate logo is stamped in black on it. I thought it kind of took away from the look. Overall, pretty and sparkly, but very slick and not exactly what I was looking for.

Was all psyched about this product(Minimalistic design with good access to ports) till it formed cracks outta nowhere(no drops, no bumps) after about 2-3 months of usage. Can't protect my cell if it can't protect itself huh.

This is a classy case that is pretty well made. The only problem I found was when i took pictures with the flash there was always a light foggy blur - come to eventually realize it was from the flash bouncing off the camera hole on the case. Other than that it's great.

I got milions of compliments about my case!!!!
