This case is a Hybrid case,what this means is the case has a mixture of hard polycarbonate and a flexible TPU(Thermoplastic Polyurethane)material,Switcheasy calls is a "Duo-Shot Hybrid Construction".The case isn't the easiest case nor the hardest case to put on and remove but the case is sturdy yet not completely hard but it requires patience to get on and off which is a good thing in my opinion because I am sure that your precious little iPhone isn't just going to flop out if the case.The Tones case is unique because the case mimics the design of the iPhone 5 with its two-toned back like its name suggests and is pretty impressively designed all around.
The Tones case looks great and feels great in the hand,the case feels really smooth and sleek yet grippy enough so it just wont slip out of your hand.The case feels really sturdy and very solid once installed on the phone and gives pretty good all-round protection from daily use,scratches and minor falls.For a Hybrid case the Tones does not add much bulk at all so it preserves the slim and sleek feeling the iPhone 5 has to offer.
Now for the cut-outs.The cut-outs on this case have meticulously engineered with pin-point accuracy,the cut-out for the lightning port is nice and "roomy" enough,same goes to the 3.5mm headphone jack,but the speaker and microphone grilles have individual little holes and the holes line up perfectly with the phone and does not disrupt it in any way.
The volume buttons are covered and are responsive enough with a satisfying clicky feeling and the power button is covered too and is tactile too.The mute switch is easy to access because the cut-out was nice and big which makes the switch easy to flick on and off.
The camera cut-out is nice and "tight" around the camera lens and flash and does not cause any flashback or any glare which is very good in my opinion unlike some cases which resort in huge cut-outs which is unnecessary for the iPhone 5.
The case has a minimal lip coming above the screen which is good when laying your phone on a desk or table face down,the display won't come in contact with surface of the table so that that screen is protected.
The Verdict :Overall The Tones case from Switcheasy is a good all-round case offering decent but not huge amount of protection in a slim and attractive package.I would definitely recommend this case for someone who wants a simple and slim case for everyday use.
Rating :4.5 out of 5 stars:)
