Simple snap on case, good price, rubber coating so less slipping
By BoaltGeek
The case is just what you might expect in terms of fit and finish (both are good to excellent). It's thin so protection from drops is limited (still better than nothing or even a Zagg type plastic adhesive) but protection from scratches is excellent.
From Facebook and the comments here (Rearth responded to my questions quickly), you should know that the SF is different from the LF:
SF = Soft feeling = rubberized coating, same as the well reviewed and similarly described SF Matte Black Samsung Galaxy S3 Rearth Ringke Soft Feeling Case
vs.
LF = Light feeling = plastic with texture for grip but no rubberized coating (also sold on Amazon here).
I've hard other rubber coated cases (like this SF model), which I prefer for grip and the matte look (which I think matches the iPhone 5 case rear section, which is non-glossy, though not necessarily "matte," aluminum). However, I understand some people prefer the easier to remove from your pocket non-rubber coated models like the LF (I do hate when my pocket get turned out as a rubber edge catches the fabric of the pocket, though you learn to accommodate that quickly). Also, the rubber coating on some cases I've owned has rubbed off at the corners, hopefully this case rubber coating will be a bit more durable, but for 10 bucks it's hard to go wrong.
There is a very slight "lip" so you can put the phone down with the screen side on a table but the lip keeps the glass *just* off the surface. With a adhesive screen protector it might be exactly on the same level as the lip; it's very thin which I prefer. The InCase snap on case for the iPhone 4 has too high a lip for me, but this lip is just right for limited protection while maintaining the form of the phone.
This plus a decent adhesive cover over the glass front is exactly the size and degree of protection I want. It keeps he phone about the same size (it's surprisingly small/thin/light) while giving decent protection to the corners and back side of the phone. My co-worker didn't even think there was a case on it because it was still thinner than his "naked" iPhone 4S. While I hope competition drives the prices down, the quality of the case is excellent even at the current price. If I had to choose a replacement, I'd buy the same case again without regret.
[Update upon receipt:]
The SF soft feeling matte black is excellent: not very grippy at all but enough to keep it from sliding around on my car's dashboard or on my desk. I was able to scrape off the white text on the back without removing the rubber coating so I suspect it will be quite resistant to rubbing off at the corners of the case. The fit is excellent but not perfect (I suspect it will get pretty dang close to perfect after warming up a few times in my pocket, the plastic is hard but somewhat malleable with heat I expect). The feeling is a bit less grip than a similar snap on InCase case; honestly in my subjective opinion it's just right. Enough to stay in place even when the surfaces are not flat but not so much that it pulls the pocket out of my pants when I take the phone out. Less grip than the rubber surrounds on the Apple Bumper protectors, but with more protection over the back of the case.
** The case comes with a slicker on the portion facing the back side of the phone; I was not certain that this should be removed but I found the fit to be better without the sticker and I don't think it provides any additional protection. I'd try your case with the sticker first and if you need a little more room to get the edges to "snap" into place, remove the sticker. If your case is too loose, the sticker may improve the fit. However, my case was just right without the sticker and I suspect others will be manufactured to the same specs so forego the sticker.

I have 2 break in 8 months and they both broke in the same place
By Mr M J Gosnell
I initially bought this as it has the best reviews for an iPhone 5 case that wasn't bulky. I bought my first one at Christmas when I got a new phone when it was time to renew our family plan. That broke on the top right hand corner as you look at front of the phone, not by dropping it I might add. I thought I'd stick with the same product as I like the look and feel, however 4 months on the case has just broken again in exactly the same place. I will now look for an alternative iPhone 5 case.

By Joe D.
I purchased this case because of the countless four and five star reviews for it. I love this style case as I can't stand to have a lot of bulk on my phone. I like a nice sleek case and this one would be perfect (or at least I thought). I received my case and immediately put it on my iPhone 5. The case was very loose around the edges, so much so that when I grabbed my phone from the sides it would make a popping sound because the case wasn't flush with the phone. I removed the case, squeezed it a bit to see if I could fix it myself and had no luck.
I contacted customer support who was great. They responded immediately and advised me to do what I had already done. I removed the case again and tried squeezing it. No luck. They quickly replied and apologized and sent out a replacement without asking me to send the other one back. I received the replacement a few days later and have the exact same issue. I suppose many who left the reviews didn't mind that this case wasn't as tight as it should be or didn't notice. I noticed and I wasn't impressed.
Sorry Rearth but something needs to be done about this.
