I didnt know Switcheasy Tones get the best pick on Iphone 5 casing.

According to gadget review site The Wirecutter, the best iPhone 5 case at the moment is the Switcheasy Tones.

The predecessor Switcheasy Eclipse also one of the best case for 4S.

I received my Spigen SGP Linear EX Slim Metal (Metal Red) and Ultra Crystal Dual from Korea today biggrin.gif I ordered this from eBay on the 20th of December.

Sorry for the noisy photos, I took these with the blinds down.

Linear EX 'J clips'. One black, one metal red.

How it looks on my black iPhone 5. The screen is naked aka no screen protector.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Rear of the phone with the Ultra Crystal back protectors installed. Those are not bubbles, not sure what was being reflected.
The case fits well and was very easy to install. Just push and click both ends of the J clips together and thats it. No chance of coming loose from around the phone like the Neo Hybrid EX Slim. The colour combination is great, black and red. Very eye catching. The power and volume buttons are very responsive and 'clicky' just like the original buttons on the phone. The case is also very slim and light, not much bulk is added to the phone. A slight lip is added to the phone so it can be laid on a table without contact with the surface.

Unfortunately it can also move just a bit around the edges and cause bubbling of the rear protector even though SGP claims it is compatible with their protectors. They also claim it works with the Glas.t and Glas.tR. The silent switch is quite recessed and a bit hard to access. The headphone jack is also quite recessed and my Beyerdynamic earphones with the L shaped jack barely works. I'm sure any Lightning adapter won't fit.

Ultra Crystal protector was easy to install. It seems to be cut slightly smaller than the phone's surface, especially the top and bottom parts of the rear. I used the hinge method and they went on well. Rear protector has a nice feel, glassy rather than matte which I prefer. It seems to be quite fingerprint resistant. It also leaves a 'halo' around the Apple logo and iPhone wording.

Why I'm not using the front one:
I prefer the feel of the naked glass and the original oleophobic coating resists more fingerprints than the protector. Also while installing the back, the front got peeled up and dust got under the protector which was quite hard to remove. The cutting of the front was also not so exact, if I didn't use the hinge method it would have been quite difficult to align. Becareful when using tape and the hinge method or this will happen  sweat.gif

Next thing to try is Glas.tR!  rclxm9.gif

So... managed to drop my iPhone 5 from about 4ft today and dented the Linear Ex case. At least it did its job, the iPhone is fine. The case is mostly fine.

Nope. Terlanggar my car on my gate trying to squeeze it into the house at a funny angle. Other side of the gate wasn't fully opened either so that didn't help. I did some light polishing and got my right hand dirty so I reached into my right front pocket with my left hand. Stupid idea because I was standing up. Once in my hand, I was trying to turn on the flashlight app when it just slipped and fell onto the tiled floor. Little dent was the result. I got the scratches out by buffing with a microfiber but otherwise, stuck with the dent  cry.gif

Superb!

Btw I'm more interested to the anodized black aluminium version like the ones offered for TAKTIK 4 and 4S, especially TAKTIK Shadow Ops.
Still no news for that on iPhone 5 version.

I think so far they only offer black for TAKTIK Extreme with Red port cover which is the sexist combo tongue.gif
wonder if they do worldwide shipping hmm.gif

EDIT: YES THEY DOES rclxm9.gif
