Celtic Design iPhone Case

It is wrapped for my wife, who loves everything Irish, as a second iPhone 5s case since she already has the Christmas tree design for use at the present. It is a hard shell case that fits well around the phone as opposed to a cheap hard plastic that would break with the phone. In my opinion, this one could survive a significant fall and protect the phone. Incredible detail and intricate attention to design on the case that is heightened by the green and gold colors that make it appear as a rich quality piece of art.

I am tremendously relieved to have my new phone in a case, any case. This one is very thin, but solid. It's got some springyness to it, so if I drop my phone I expect one of two things to happen- 1) Everything will be fine, or 2) my phone will pop out of the case upon hitting the ground (so the impact will be from a lower height.) I have a tempered glass screencover that is supposed to absorb the shock if it hits the ground face first, so Im theoretically protected on all six sides. The screen protector does not affect the ability for this case to snap securely onto the phone, so that's good news. I tried to take the case off just now and it requires a little bit of careful wiggling). Oh man, it looks so good. I really like the matte finish- it's got a little bit of a tooth to it, which makes the whole thing grippier, but I think it affects just how sharp the print can be. It looks awesome, but a little fuzzy if you're looking really closely. No one is ever going to look that closely at it. There is a little bit of bruising at the corner (it looks like the print is done flat and then heated and shaped, and the color is a little faded where the bend is sharpest. Not a big deal at all)

The case is very solid and fits perfectly on my phone. I like that the edges are raised so I can lay my phone face down without scratching the screen. The color is a brighter blue than I expected, but it's pretty. The pics in my review are accurate of the color.
