Perfect minimalist case with adequate protection and sleek design - DETAILED review
By ArmyStrongMD on Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2014
Pros: -Tiny, unobstrusive raised lip (a fraction of a MM) will help in case of a direct drop onto the glass -Camera cutout is a perfect fit, unlike most which are a little oversized and look odd/cheap -Next to camera cutout is an indentation along the top which helps the camera cutout blend seemlessly -Soft touch matte finish feels and looks excellent -Case edges are angled, exactly like the metal edges of the naked phone, which makes the case much more comfortable to hold -All buttons and the mute switch are protected without the need for any awkward cover over them -Top and bottom shows exposed aluminum which is sexier, and also allows you to use ANY lightning cables and headphones, unlike many cases that wrap ALL the way around and only fit the Apple USB-Lighting -Nicely packaged and incredibly easy to open without scratching or damaging your new case -Included screen cleaning cloth is pretty standard, but nice to have nonetheless -Included folding phone stand has two height settings and folds completely flat (designed for horizontal viewing only) -Branding is sleek and unobtrusive, just "Incipio" stamped into the back -Value for money is second to none -Fits the like a glove, if Apple had designed a case like this it would probably be nearly identical Cons -The lip around the edge is MAYBE .1mm, which is enough to prevent the glass from resting on a surface if you set the phone face down and should help in the event of a face down drop, but if it was a little higher I would feel safer since the only drops likely to shatter the glass are face down drops. This is probably a tradeoff where they provide SOME protection because a taller lip would dig into your fingers and be uncomfortable. I gladly accept this tradeoff but if you drop your phone a lot I would recommend something with a taller or perhaps even slightly wrap-around lip -As with ANY case this style, it is a good idea to periodically (perhaps once a week) remove the case and clean the inside of the case and your phone. Sand/dust/dirt can accumulate over time and scratch your phone if you never clean it -The soft matte finish is a joy to hold but is NOT very grippy, so if you have butterfingers this case is easy to drop Note: I have no issues with the bottom part of the case digging into my finger as some have stated. Maybe they have soft baby hands and incredibly sensitive fingers, but I find the case incredibly comfortable no matter how I hold it. Overall: I am beyond pleased with this case. Over time if I drop it and it cracks or the finish starts to peel, I will gladly just order another. I am actually ordering another for my work phone as I was less than pleased with the ESR Jelly case I bought for that. Just have to get a different color so I can tell them apart!

The Incipio Feather Iphone 5 case does not disappoint
By JPD on Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2012
The Incipio Feather Iphone 5 case does not disappoint. It fits well, does not add much bulk to the phone and offers great protection. The shoulders on the sides are raised a hair's width over the front screen surface. This is good feature, it keeps the screen from coming into contact with the surface of the table when the phone is placed upside down. The only issue I have is the knife's edge at the bottom headphone/speaker/lightning connector area. It makes the phone uncomfortable to hold. I am sure Incipio is already aware of this and would not be at all surprised to see this corrected at some point. I was really surprised with the elaborate retail packaging. It almost seems like more design effort and expense went into the packaging than the actual product itself. Overall the Incipio Feather Iphone 5 case is a great buy. I highly recommend it. Update: because of the nature of snap-on cases the top and bottom end of the phone is exposed. It did not take long before my phone accumulated a number of scratches along the exposed sides. Combine that with a couple of 3ft. Drops and my phone looked like it was 3 yrs. old. Got the Incipio Frequency case now which is MUCH better. Wish I had it from day one.
