The sides are harder (polycarbonate?) than the flexible TPU rear, which is good because you get a precise and tight fit with no give.
The side buttons are covered, but there’s an opening for the ring/silent switch.
Like Apple’s other cases, the bottom, where the Lightning connector and built-in microphones and speaker are located, isn’t covered.
There’s a raised lip around the edge of the screen, so you can safely put the phone face down on the table.
The camera cutout also has a tiny lip, probably for extra clearance because the camera bump is taller than the thickness of the case.
Apple says it has applied a scratch-resistant coating to the case’s exterior and interior — mine hasn’t gotten any scratches yet, but it has picked up many fingerprints.
Wireless charging still works with the case on.
Apple doesn’t say if the case has any materials to combat degradation reactions, so only time will tell if the case would turn yellow down the road.
In a nut: I like the case for its perfect fit. But I don’t like that the bottom is exposed. Also, at S$59, I think it’s overpriced (by S$20).
