Monogram Preppy Chevron in Gold Glitter Case-Mate iPhone Case

The photo makes the case look much more sparkly and shiny than it is in real life. It's dull and the glitter is a print, not real like many other cases have, so it doesn't shimmer or anything when you move it around. Also, around the perimeter of the case, there's this thin plastic line like it's been snapped out of a mold. That's very off-putting to look at and touch. Wasn't too pleased with all of this considering the high price. The printing was the only thing that really turned out the way I wanted it to.

So gorgeous, from the day I got it, I've gotten so many compliments on it! The two layers (black rubber-like material, and the hard shell) are very sturdy, especially important for a habitually clumsy person like me! The "bumps" (on the inside rubber part of this case) for where the buttons are on the iPhone match perfectly, and aren't a hindrance or extra struggle. The rubber itself isn't stiff at all, which makes an easy time of taking the case on and putting it back on again! Overall, LOVE IT! The printing overall was great! Just appears more stretched out on the sides then the back.

I had the same case in the thin model, which cracked and chipped over time, offering little protection. This case so far offers more protection. It is bulkier than I thought, but I got used to it quick. It takes effort to push the power button, but it's a good case. The image has a shiny yellow tint; I was hoping the flag picture would resemble the image as much as possible, like matte rustic wood.
