I'd read the reviews for the other colors of this product and decided to hedge my bets. This makes for a very striking looking iPhone, certainly. The case snapped into place perfectly and I had no problem with this product scratching my phone, as I read with others. I don't think it would shatter if I dropped my phone. The mirror protector is super cool; no ifs ands or buts. However, I was used to having an anti-glare screen protector on my phone and the mirror protecter produced CRAZY smudges that I couldn't handle. It also didn't line up quite right with the home button/listening area openings. I decided to put one of my anti-glare protectors on top of the mirror protector and I didn't have any kind of reduced functionality with the touch screen.

You most definitely cannot used the mirrored protector in directly sunlight. I could barely see my screen, and what's the point of the product if I can't see the screen? Also, and this is the worst, the case interferes with the wireless signal! I had "No Service" pop up on my phone so many times in so many places that I had no problems with before. That was a deal breaker for me. I ended up taking off the mirror protector as well. I got about a month of use out of this. I was definitely disappointed with this product.

This is exactly what I would want an IPhone case to look like....sexy, shinny, very modern. But after that, it's a waste of money. For some reason the case hurts the signal finder which renders your phone pretty worthless. Also, the mirrored faceplate is already falling off 1 hour after I've put it on which is never a good sign. I would pass on this product and try to find a better version.

The color is nice and very chic. The only thing is that after 1 month it start peeling a little. Other than that it does make your phone look nice and protects it.

bought this for my wifes IPhone a year or more back.
its still in use.

No cracks, no chips, no color fading.

on a scale of 1 (worst) to 5 (best)

3.5 Protects phone
5 Introduces color not normally present
5 retains color beyond a years use
5 maintains snug attachment to phone

I get stopped all the time by complete strangers wanting to know where I purchased this iPhone case. It served its purpose - I have had the same iPhone for 4 years and it has protected it through toddler usage, public transportation, drops on the walk home and all the stuff I carry in my bag that would scratch or dent the surface. The one thing that I would change is making the screen easier to read in bright sunlight.

I received the case and couldn't wait to put it on. I opened the USPS envelope that it was shipped in and was very disappointed that the case package was already open. Took the product out of its packing and all seemed ok and everything was included so I decided to keep it and I put it on my phone. The metallic look of this case is amazing and so far I've noticed no decrease in signal strength. My only complaint is that the color of the case doesn't exactly match that in the picture. From the picture it looks like the color would be a perfect deep shade of red but it's more of a deep pink. I'm a guy and many people have teased me about having a pink case on my phone. I try to argue that it's red but I never win. So I'm giving this case to one of my nieces or the next woman I see walking around with an iPhone without a case. I can't review the mirror screen protector because I messed it up trying to put it on. Not the product's fault, totally my fault as I had no idea how to install it. I'll have better results with the next screen protector that I buy.

So, all in all, the product looks amazing, fits very well and secure on the phone, but beware of the color vs. the picture.

I was very tired of those rubber-like cases getting stuck in my pocket or purse, so I tried this one and I love it! It give my phone protection while allowing me to slide it in and out of my purse easily. Great product!

The metallic case gives the Iphone a great sleek look but unfortunately I can never use it! Because it is made of metal, it causes the Iphone to lose like 4 bars and I dropped calls like crazy. Once I removed the case, I was able to get a full coverage and place calls.

I had bought this case because of its beautiful color and design to protect my iPhone. I find it surreal that the case would interfere materially with the iPhone's signal strength. I tested my phone with and without the cover inside and outside areas. I was consistently losing two bars of signal strength when the case was on compared to a naked iPhone. How can you design a complementary product that impedes with the core functionality of the product?

I got this in red--a great rich color red. And, I love the mirrored screen protector--it comes in handy to check my hair/lipstick, etc.
