Case-MateBrilliance Case for iPhone 5/5s - Retail Packaging - Gold

It is stunning and it’s durability is unreal. I put my phone n my back pocket all the time and not one stone has fallen off.

I LOVE the look and feel of this case so much that I have them on both my personal and work cells. The only reason it didn't get the last star is because the durability of the side panels is lacking. They aren't very durable. The back portion however is solid as a rock. I will say I'm pretty clumsy and my phone and the ground have had several interactions so I've broken the side panels a few times but the back has always remained solid. Case Mate needs to make replacement side panels so you don't have to buy a whole new case if those break. I will say the case adds some bulk to your phone but it's protective, of all the drops my phone has taken only the case side panels have broken.

OMG...I have finally found the one! Took me a while and I had to go through a few duds, but finally!This case is soooooo beautiful!! Not that I care, but I get so many compliments because people agree that it is absolutely beautiful!! I first discovered casemate on Instagram and saw that their cases seemed pretty well built with a good warranty. There was no hesitation in that aspect, it just took me a good minute to finally bite the bullet and purchase it because I felt kind of ridiculous buying a $50+ phone case for that much, but how much do most of our phones cost, guys??? And some of us are STILL paying for them!So, after watching the price and letting it linger in my wish list, I figured it's like a really good bra and I want some support that looks good. I bought this and tossed out all of my old eBay cases (you know what I'm talkin about) and I am so content with my ONE!Unless you're broke, you will not regret buying this. The gold shimmer is so me and I'm just happy with this. One jewel has fallen off due to a bad drop, but you can't tell at all...I don't even know where it fell from. I've had it 5 months now and I'm still blinging strong. I will say though, that I am careful with it. I typically lay my phone screen down and I keep my phone in a little wallet clutch-like case before tossing it in my purse. Shoot...this an expensive bra, people! I mean phone :)

It is a beautiful case. If you like crystals and bling, you'll agree. I saw it at Best Buy and wanted to walk out the door with it, but knew I would find it on Amazon for a much better price! Which I did. it pairs beautifully with my gold iPhone 5S! It has a great feel in my hand, and don't feel like it could slip from my grip--i don't find it slippery and hard to hold like one person noted, nor do I find it heavy like someone else noted. It is a substantial case, it isn't flimsy-- It isn't just a simple, single piece bumper or shell case. it has 2 halves, covers my iPhone completely and the front of it has a nice bumper edge that protects the screen so that you can lay your phone face down and the case's edge is the only thing that touches the surface. another thing that is pretty cool is that when I rub my thumb over the crystals, it feels like one solidly smooth surface and not a bunch of crystals! someone mentioned that the crystals might scratch a surface, but I don't think so as the surface is free of any sharp edges. You'd never know the surface was composed of crystals if your eyes were closed. It is a really nice case! And on my case, the crystals are solidly embedded in the case. After reading what some reviewers mentioned about crystals falling out straight away, my guess is it would be considered defective and returnable. I'm happy!

best case ever!! I paired this beauty with my gold iPhone 5S. this one will grab everyone's attention. It is not the type of glittery case that looks cheap and gaudy, its an understated sparkle if that makes sense. The placement and color (gold and pewter) of the crystals is such that in the right lighting, its brilliant but not burning your eyes in disgust. So enough about how pretty this is as I am sure every review will tell you that, this case also offers great protection. I have had this now for the past 2 months and have dropped my phone from standing position onto concrete, tile, and wooden floors at least 5 times expecting the horror of my screen in a million pieces; each time, the case pops open and my phone is unscathed, the screen intact, and the case also not even a scratch!! I went from buying clunky Otter boxes to this and I am never looking back! Lastly.. I have my phone in my pocket, my pants' pockets, and bag all the time and not 1 crystal has fallen off yet. Pricey but will make you happy every time you hold your phone, which is probably every second of your day

I loved the look of this phone case, and considering it was $60 I thought it would be of good quality. Well I was wrong, I was taking off the case to clean my phone and the bottom part of the case cracked. Then the button on top came out of the case as well. Of course I can't return this product due to the return policy. Will not ever be buying this product ever again nor anything from the seller, mainly because I have no way of getting ahold of them.

I've never made a review before but this is an AMAZING case! it is so beautiful the crystals are mesmerizing the picture shown is nothing compared to what it looks like In person, the case doesn't make the phone look bulky at all, it feels incredibly sturdy and the material feels very well made. It got here three days after I had ordered it and got a great great deal from FirstClassDeals4U luckily I didn't have to pay the $80.00 (which I would have payed because I just had to have it) the cut outs throughout the phone are perfect I had no problem plugging in my headphones which have an L shaped connector and I can switch my silence button side to side with no problems. All in all this case is worth what it's sells for and I highly recommend it.

I really would like to give this case 5 stars because it is absolutely gorgeous, but I just received this case in the mail today and have not barely touched this case and one of the crystals already came off. I really hope the rest stay put because like I said, the case is gorgeous.

Top quality bling at a value for money price.

Cette coque est superbe mais elle pèse son poids !! Mon iphone 5 tout léger s'est transformé en vieil iphone 3, alors il est beau mais épais et pas pratique, dommage
