Review
I have always preferred bumpers, not cases, and was treating my white i5 with kid gloves until this arrived. It was as I was expecting, cheap, but usable.

It has plastic not metal buttons, and they are very hard to push.

The cutout for the lighting connector is not correct so the cable just sits loosely in the phone, enough to charge, but not enough to stay connected if you move the phone around. Several times while writing this review I either picked up the phone or moved it around slightly, and every time the lightning port lost its connection. Hopefully they'll fix this soon and I'll buy another unless a competing product some along that uses a softer rubber rather than TPU, see the next point.

The "rubber" part is actually TPU plastic. The problem with this is that it's very hard, and grit will get between it and your i5 and it WILL scratch the device. This is why Apple used a softer rubber instead - even though it will decay after a while, it won't scratch your phone. Best to remove this bumper weekly and wash it with mild soap so as to mitigate that debris build up that will cause scratching.

The color is not a pure white like the Apple bumper, but it's acceptable.

The slight porting of the speaker and microphone actually assist when using speakerphone or listening to audio. Only a little bit, just as any case will, but it does make a positive difference.

It's very light.

The overall fit is 100% perfect. I was surprised by how completely perfectly it fits the phone. In fact I think it fits better than the Apple bumper on the 4S.

To conclude: It's worth the money, but I'd rather pay more for a better one. I want softer rubber so it won't scratch the phone. I want metal buttons, and I want the lightning cutout to be fixed.

UPDATE: The seller called me wanting me to leave a positive review to knock this review out of first position. When I told him that this review is mine, he no longer wanted to speak with me and hung up the phone. Be careful of overly positive reviews! If you like my very balanced review, give it a thumbs up to keep it up top here.

  1. Using a cell phone cases and screen cover will help keep the screen in good condition, and protect the phone should it be dropped. Some cases are rated to withstand significant damage while keeping the phone intact, and others are completely waterproof.
