Black Brushed Aluminium Metal Pattern-Custom Text Case-Mate iPhone Case

The case quality is top notch! Excellent protection, very sturdy, exceptional quality. The printing for this particular design was just so-so. The black was sort of an ombre affect that got lighter in the middle, instead of the black brushed look all the way through. It's not bad looking, just different than I expected.

The case fits the iPhone 5 well. It adds very little bulk. I'm glad I chose the Vibe case instead of the Barely There, because the rubber insert for the Vibe case adds a layer of protection without making the phone significantly larger or bulkier. That said, I wouldn't hesitate to buy another case. In fact, my chief complaint is that as soon as I received this case, I wanted more, with different images. In case anyone at Zazzle and/or Casemate is listening, I think lowering the price on these cases would be a good idea. At current pricing, it's hard to justify collecting a wardrobe of cases. If they were cheaper, I'd find it easier to give into the temptation to buy another -- and probably another after that. The image on the case is sharp, and the finish is glossy. The midtones in the image came out somewhat dark. The light tones are quite light, so I would not say that the printing itself was dark. It may be that the process tries to enhance contrast, so the lights and darks are strong while the midtones get lost.

the phone cover is perfect, pretty design, not too large and thick, but protects the phone. very happy with the cover and the service provided by Zazzle. the printing is perfect, colors are vibrant, print is beautiful.
