Very convenient, fits great, cards are accessible, but button cover too stiff
By Richard Schramm
I bought this case when I purchased my iPhone 5 as I had a card carrier case from Casemate for my iPhone 4 that I really liked, but it was a bit hard to get the cards out. After using this for a couple weeks, here are my thoughts:

The Good:
- Case fits snugly but can be taken on and off relatively easily due to the flex design.
- Case has a nice bezel around the display so that it does protect the class when set face down.
- Cards slide in pretty easily (much more than my previous case)
- Cards have not slipped out yet and seem to stay secure
- I can put in my drivers license, ATM card, and cash in together which is VERY convenient

The Bad:
- The button covers are very stiff so pushing the top button or volume buttons, you really have to push down hard. If not for that, it would be 5 stars.

Overall: Very good and recommended!

Hope you find this helpful!

Not as good as the CandyShell Card
By Sarah
I had the CandyShell Card case for my iPhone 4 and I liked it much better. I'm still going to hold onto this case because I really like the wallet feature, but I wish they made a CandyShell Card for the iPhone 5.

Why did I like my old case better? The SmartFlex doesn't fit as snugly. I feel like the front screen isn't as well protected because the phone slips slightly in the case so the screen isn't protected behind the raised bezel. I know that seems like a minor thing, but it just doesn't seem like it protects my phone as well, and isn't that the point of a case?

Also, the power button doesn't work as well in this case. I feel like I have to push it harder and it doesn't "click."

On the plus side, though, it seems slimmer than the CandyShell Card. (Maybe that's just because the iPhone 5 itself is slimmer; I'm not sure.) My husband likes this because it is easier to keep in his pocket. I prefer the bulkier CandyShell Card because I feel like it protects my phone better.

And of course it is very convenient to hold 3 cards in my phone.

I also wish there were more color options. I'm not really a fan of any of them. It would be nice to have a classy burgundy, chocolate, or other "jewel tone" colors like navy blue, plum, deep teal, etc. I'd like something more professional-looking.

NOTE: The "Pomodoro" color is just red. The picture makes it look a little muted, but it is a bright red.

UPDATE--3 MONTHS LATER: I recommend getting the black. I got gray and it is showing stains on it. In some places it looks like the material has picked up dye from my jeans and in some places it looks like the finish has worn off. I'm not rough on my phones by any means, so this is disappointing that the case looks dirty. It's not major--definitely still usable without being gross or anything--but I would certainly be worried about getting one of the lighter colors!

Awesome case
By Bernardo Machain
I had an otterbox commuter series case, and I was not happy because it made the iPhone 5 heavy and bulky, not so with this case, I can fit my work ID, driver license and debit card with no issues, the case had a perfect fit and did not add too much to the size or weight of the phone. The camera and flash are not even close to being obstructed which was important to me. Also you don't have to worry about having to fidget with getting your cards, ID, etc out since you can push them out from the other side which makes access to them a breeze. The two cons people might have an issue with is that the bottom headphone jack and charging port are not covered like they are with an otterbox, I found this a convenience but some might object. Also there is no muffle to the speakers as they have little holes to let the sound out which the otterbox did not have. Overall very satisfied and will be ordering one for my daughter as well.
