Definitely looks different. PSAJ all have the black lens cutout but this one doesn't?

Saw the cover online apple store earlier and i ordered one. Indeed the back is different from the Jap version which has the black lens cutout.

 

[deep3lue]

for those using PSAJ, how do you guys maintain the case? its like dust gets trapped inside the case and if u wipe the case from the inside it scratches the case. =[

Nevermind the case lah! As long as the phone is in good condition why worry so so much about the case?

 

[ragnarok95]

Cover suppose to protect the phone. Now you worry about the phone PLUS the cover.

Twice the worry.

 

[xtreme84]

sorry...but it's very ugly lei...like those ah long runner or ah beng phone.

There are other colours available, based on what I've found on their website. I like the red one, it'll look pretty good on the black iPhone.

This casing looks good! How's the build quality and does it affect signal strength? Is the catch mechanism fragile? Thanks!

The build quality is superb. Really engineered to be very precise. So far one of the highest quality aluminium bumper I've used compared to draco and sword 5. Very fine and smooth to touch. Ergonomics wise, feels comfortable to hold in the hand. So far haven't noticed any reduced in signal and mobile cellular, but wifi signal seems to be slightly affected. The catch mechanism is not at all filmsy, feels quite solid indeed, and the bumper feels like one piece.

Great to hear that! I've been so used to the e13ctron s4v on my 4S and I simply can't find a bumper that has similar quality for my 5s. I might give the odyssey one a shot then.

I've got another question though. If I've applied a carbon fibre sticker on the sides, is it likely that my 5s will still fit? Thanks!

U can also try their Steinheil series.

Last time 3M one quite good. Now leh?

Still good and I've always trusted 3M products. Now the red carbon fiber sticker from iCarbons covering my 5s' side (also from 3M) sticks really well and can be peeled and re-applied repeatedly while maintaining its 'stickiness'.

I'm close to making the order for the red one, I'm just a little hesitant because they require me to create an account with them.

I dropped them an email a couple of days ago to enquire if it's possible to mix the red front with a black back as I like that combination better. They haven't replied yet and I think I'll hold back on ordering till they've replied.

Also, @Aaron, I would still like to know if the casing can accommodate side stickers on my 5s or is it already a tight fit as it is. I hope to protect my 5s from scratches and also any possible signal loss even though the 5s hasn't been said to have this issue.

i want...

Epicentres are selling the case already.

Does anyone know if the spigen slim wallet for iPhone 5/5s is good? Quite interested in it.

Oh! I didn't know that, thanks so much for the heads up! Could save me a lot of trouble. I'll go check them out soon.

Guess what? I bought it!!! Haha... Works out to be about the same or cheaper than getting from their website.

Thanks @Aaron for sharing about this casing and poisoning me, it's really well built and signal strength didn't drop also. The only part that I feel can be improved is the finishing on the inside of the buttons, but that's just nitpicking. I've finally found a casing that's as good as my e13ctron s4v!

Thanks @discoburg, thanks for letting me know that Epicentre is carrying it!

@tribalhere, I bought the red one!

Nice! But it is 90 USD???

 

[xtreme84]

Nice! But it is 90 USD???

It's SGD129, so about 103 USD, but saves me a lot of hassle and waiting. I saw it in Epicentre, thought about it for about 1 minute, then I decided to get it since I already was prepared to buy online originally.

It's a great case and I like that it has dedicated buttons. My Red Alert scratched my phone a little, based on what I've seen so far, I don't think it'll happen for this one. There's a layer of plastic inside the casing to presumably protect the phone and also reduce any impact on signal strength.

I don't think it'll fit if you've pasted any side stickers on your phone though. But with the layer of plastic inside, it's probably not necessary also.

 

[discoburg]

Does the front frame height protrude a lot over the screen?

It does, but only by about 1-2mm.

Here's a pic of the insides.
