Great case that doesn't compromise the beauty of the iphone 5
I love this case. As soon as I took my new iPhone 5 out of the box I snapped this case on it and it fits like a glove. Not only that, since it's clear, it doesn't compromise the esthetics of the 5. It does add a few millimeters of bulk onto the phone, but it's already so thin, I don't even notice it. I find it's a bit difficult to get off, but it will come off with a little careful effort.
As for durability, I dropped my iPhone from a couple of feet up on a ceramic tile floor within a few hours of receiving it. The case has an impact mark on it, but is still fully intact - and more importantly, my iPhone doesn't have a scratch on it. Highly recommend.
Update 3/18/13:
I've had this case for about 6 months now and it is still working well. I have dropped my phone enough times that I actually broke the case right above the camera lens. This is where the plastic is at it's thinnest, and plastic breaks. The case still adheres to my phone well. It doesn't wrap around the front of the iPhone all the way, so if you drop it right on the beveled edge of the top or bottom of the face, it'll make a mark - I have a couple. I use a screen protector, so I don't worry about the face being scratched. Otherwise, the case isn't horribly scratched up, but I don't generally keep my phone mixed in with keys or anything. I think the scratching is acceptable and not horribly noticeable and I'd rather it be on the case than the phone. I changed my rating to four stars since the case doesn't protect the top or bottom beveled edges of the face, since it did split - after being dropped (to be fair) - and since I'm going to have to get another one after only about 6 months. I'm probably just going to get another one of these though, because they're inexpensive and it does look nice.
Update 10/10/13:
The manufacturer contacted me some time ago to let me know that the case comes with a lifetime warranty. I contacted customer service via email and sent my original Amazon order number to them. They were very responsive and sent me out a new case the next day, after I supplied a couple of pictures of the damage my case had sustained over the year. Thank you, Luvvit!
