Shiny Paisley Turquoise Case-Mate iPhone Case

While the case is cool in that it provides an awesome protective cover, front and back, for the phone, it is not metallic--it just looks like it. Instead, it's like a pattern printed on paper with a glossy, durable finish. So, it's not as classy looking as I had hoped, but it is certainly an attractive as well as "burly" cover! On the computer screen, I really thought I'd be getting a metallic cover. I was surprised it's just a printed pattern. The printed colors are not as rich as they appear on my computer screen, and I can tell it's merely printed and not actually metal.

The tough case does seem to protect the phone very well. I've dropped it a couple of times already and my phone didn't suffer at all from that. Fits very well around the phone and was easy to put on. Still have great access to all of the phone's buttons so it has not gotten in the way of the phone's function at all. The hard case is durable and it's not bulky, so still keeps the sleek feel of the phone. The colors and the print are as I expected and looks great on the phone.

The cover arrived on time as promised. I was disappointed in the overall look once received. The picture appears to be metallic (foil) looking. I was disappointed that it wasn't. It's still pretty, but not what I expected. I chose this case thinking that it would pop more, it's dull. It does however cover the phone nicely and is very snug. It turned out nice, but a bit off center.
