Gecko Gear Gecko Glow For iPhone 5 Review

Hello There,Today I will be reviewing a case from an Australian based company which is Gecko Gear.
I will be taking a look at their case which is the gecko glow case.I purchased this case on my own for my personel use.The case retails for about US$29 and comes with a ultra-clear screen shield and a micro-fibre wipe:),And you guys can check them out here....
Now,this case is made of a TPU material so it is flexible and very easy to get on and off your iPhone.
This case has a very interesting look to it,The case adds extra grip when you are holding your phone and it feels good in the hand....It has a textured inside which looks like the skin of a gecko(I guess that's why they called the "Gecko Glow"....haha:)
I liked this case mainly for it's vibrant colour(The colour I got was a fluorescent  greenish-lime...They also come in blue and pink for now)....This case is unique because it glows in the dark....The case has a decent glow....Don't be expecting to use it as a flashlight.....
Now moving on with the iPhone in the case....The case fits nice and snug,The volume buttons are covered and are nice and clicky to the press,the mute switch is very easy to access because the cut-out sort of  "dips in" making it easy to flick on and off.....
Here is what the bottom will look like....The cut-outs are nice and precise yet "roomy" enough for the lightning cable to fit in without any issues and the headphone jack cut-out was good too,The speaker and microphone grilles and wide open,I haven't encountered any problems with the case so far....

Here is what the camera cut-out looks like....The camera cut-out is nice and "tight" all around,unlike some cases with huge camera cut-outs which in my opinion is ugly....The camera flash works fine without any flashback whatsoever,The lock and unlock button at the top of the phone is covered too with a great clicky feeling so the all the buttons feel very tactile in this case....
This case has a decent lip curling over the display without disrupting it in any way....The lip protects the phone when it is layd face down on a desk or a table so that the display does not scratch...

The Verdict :Overall this case is a pretty decent case for scratch protection and a little shock protection,The glow-in-the-dark factor it will attract customers and it looks snazzy with its gecko detailing on the back.The case looks and feels good to handle and overall a great case:)
Rating(in my opinion) :4 out of 5 stars
