This is the case I bought when I bought my very first iPhone. It was the obvious choice out of the cases available at the store. I love the bright colors, the cute birds, and the rubber sleeve is really good at absorbing shock. I've dropped my phone a ton of times and it's still perfectly undamaged.

AND OH MY GOSH. The hole over the camera on the back of the case is big enough that I don't have to remove the case to use my new Photojojo magnetic lenses that I got for Christmas. I really really love that aspect.

The case is a little bulky, but I like that, it makes the phone feel a bit tougher in my hands, less fragile than with a smaller skin or if it were naked.

The only issue I have is that the paint has chipped and cracked just along the seams on the back of the case, but since everything else is so wonderful, and the cracking isn't super obvious, I'm totally willing to overlook it. A tip though, if you're buying this case, it wouldn't hurt to just go over the seams on the back with some clear nail polish or something similar to protect them.

All in all, great cases, Tad Carpenter! And PERFECT for anyone that uses magnetic fish-eye, macro, or wide-angle lenses and doesn't want to hassle with taking the case off each time. (Posted on 1/3/13)

Really like this case! Only complaint is how smooth/slippery the outer shell is. Like the silicone pink lining... Very protective. Have dropped the phone a few times and never worried about the phone. Colors are great and I get compliments on the phone cover all the time! A little expensive. Fits perfectly and all the buttons are accessible. Like it enough where I would buy the other Tad Carpenter cases. Would buy it again if given the chance. (Posted on 4/3/12)
