I bought this cover, after I had already found me from iSkin. There bothered me, however, that the silver metal strip was concealed by the black rubber coating of the otherwise transparent hardware "plastic" -shell. The TPU Cover is really clear and the sides are visible. Although silicone The iPhone is not much thicker than "naked" and when used on it with the touch down, it lies on a thin edge, so that the glass is not scratched. Strong buy recommendation, especially at this price. Disturbing was that postage and packaging was as high and the protective sheath has achieved Iskin level. Therefore, a point deduction.
