Rocketfish™ - Soft Shell Case for Apple® iPhone® 5 and 5s - Clear

Got this on a Black Friday sale ($10). It is sufficiently slim and the frosty look on the back gives it some style. It is also functional, as it fits the iPhone 5 w/o fuss. The buttons work as expected. I like the feel of the soft TPU material over the common hard plastic cases. I can now put my iPhone 5 in my pocket along with my wallet. It doesn't have a slippery feel and is comfortable to hold in my hand. Obviously, it's not an Otterbox, but it did protect my iPhone 5 when I forgot it on my lap and stood up. The phone fell to the ground from 2 feet and there wasn't a scratch. Gotta be careful; the case can only do so much.

The color of this case is much more of a true teal color in person. Exactly what I was hoping for! I love the slim design of the case because I don't like my phone to be bulky, but want to protect the back from scratches. The material this case is made of has a very smooth texture and is not sticky like some other soft cases I have seen. I love it and only paid $5 for it!

I bought this cover for my White iPhone 5 because Lockergnome was using it for his. I was worried about the price because there are plenty of cheap ones on amazon. I assumed it would fit great, provide great handling while using the phone, and show the iPhone's design off. It does feel great in your hands, it does fit well however I bought this in December for 2012 and by March it was yellowing. It looks nasty on the phone now and I will not replace it with another case and run the risk of the same thing happening again. It's a shame it still has it's durability, it's just ugly on the phone and makes it look extremely dirty. I'll attach pictures.

The Rocketfish iPhone 5s clear soft gel case initially looked very good and fit well on my iPhone 5s. It provided adequate protection for my phone. After 3 to 4 months of using it, the case started to look a little dirty even though I took good care of it and not exposed very much to the sun. After 4 months, the case started turning brownish yellow and semi-translucent instead of clear as can be seen in the attached photos.

This is a very good basic case for your iPhone. It's not going to set the world on fire for its looks, but if you want a simple, semi-soft case to protect your phone's back panel and aluminum sides, this will get the job done well. The material isn't completely rubbery, but isn't a typical hard case. That means that if your phone is in this case on a silckerr surface, bumping it won't send it flying to the floor with you gasping in a panic. I work on an ambulance, and use this case instead of my Otter Box at times. The center console on our truck is angled, and this phone case keeps my phone from sliding down the console unless we're rolling along at a really high speed. The holes cut into the case for the speaker jack, speakers, and side toggle switch are well cut and beveled do they don't rub on your hands, jeans, pockets, etc. Considering I paid $14 for this, and similar soft cases are twice as much, not to mention the rididuclous $70 for some cases, this is a value bargain. It covers your phone well and does what it is supposed to do.

Based on all rhe positive reviews here I gave his a shot as I too am a bit of a case snob and its really tough to find a clear case believe it or not. My favorites for the iPhone 4S was from a company called iLuv but their upcoming 5 case looks like try added their silly name to the back vs the side so bye bye iLuv. Don't need a case to be a walking billboard! This case here from rocketfish is fantastic. Like another reviewer here mentioned watermarking goes away if you press on the sides, thanks that worked! I like the soft almost rubbery feel w/out it so rubbery that it gets stuck to your pocket etc. seems to sag a tiny bit at the bottom giving me the impression it may stretch with time, hope not. Could have been a hair thinner but overall seems to give good protections and looks/feels great. Pleasantly surprised. Thanks to all who reviewed or quite honestly I would have skipped over a best buy brand case.

If you are looking for a nice temporary averagely priced iphone 5 case and still thinking if you're going for the minimalist style case or the thick lifeproof/otterbox cases, this may be the right case for you. It's not too thin nor too thick. It does serve it's purpose of protecting your phone from short drops because it is minimally shockproof, its not waterproof and doesn't come with a screen protector, although the protruding front lips does offer some protection. It is made of rubber so you do have that rubbery feel which kinda helps it not slip from your hand. I do however recommend that you buy a screen protector.

My wife says that we should not have white floors in the kitchen because then we'll see the dirt and have to clean it more. I say: bring it on! I like to see when things need cleaning. This case shows dirt, and dirt inside the case means wear, so a show-off is a good thing. I've had this for about 2 months now and dropped my phone only once (it fell out of my sweatshirt pocket which has barely a lip) which by itself is amazing since I usually drop my phone. The phone hit the concrete from 2' up and there was no damage, so I'm happy with that. This case makes the phone a bit tacky so I can hold on to it, but not so sticky that I cannot get it out of my pocket fast. Although it shows off the phone to great effect, and is not as thick as some of the other cases, it also tends to collect dirt, which somehow gets under the shell. This would not be visible if the case was not clear, but I like it anyway.
