Use apologiesfromcaudabe for a 30% discount.

Just bought two cases. Hope they live up to the hype and were worth the ridiculously long wait.

I, too, signed up for the auto notification when they were back in stock but received nothing.
 
The Caudabe case does covers up the sides of the bezel till the "glass" portion?
 
Nice, I've been waiting for the Veil forever too. Glad they're in stock now. My old ones have been showing wear and tear but I loved them.

where did you get this code? I tried to apply it and it said "The maximum number of uses of the discount have been exceeded". Boo! Thanks for sharing it though.

edit: i found them on FB and contacted them, code fixed and used. Thank you!

Awesome. I just ordered one for me and one for the better half. I was ready to give up on these. Good to see they're back in stock. I still haven't found a case that I like as much as the Veil. This phone is just too beautiful to cover up with anything bulkier.
 
Now residing on my iPhone 5 and could not be more satisfied. You're right; thin does not begin to describe it!
 
Mine's shipping today. How long regular USPS from Cincinnati to New York? No way in time for Christmas. But it'll be nice to have before New Years.

Thanks for the code. Figure I might as well give it a shot for $14 shipped :):)
 
Mine is slated to arrive on Thursday, too. I'm irrationally excited for something I already have. lol
 
Just got my order of 5 in the mail. The fit is superb as usual. Very happy. Now to give away the other 4 to family who've been begging me about this for weeks.
 
My frosted Viel came. I installed it. I’m a convert. Living on the edge and its electrifying.

It’s like training wheels for naked carry, it’s that close. Buttons are as accessible as they’ll ever be short of a naked iPhone. You see the perimeter bevel under frost. If you want lay on table, you can do it, but first put down a microfiber cloth.

This case’ll work with many protective sleeves if the owner wants to protect the screen for pocket carry. My clear Luvvitt will be taking a long rest.

"Training wheels for naked carry" - that's hilarious and spot on. I just don't think I could ever take those training wheels off!
 
my replacement Veil came in the mail today too. anyone have a pic of the frosted one on a space grey 5S?

Mine arrived today. There's not much else to add to what's been said. The case looks damn good on both the silver and gold iPhones and is imperceptible from afar. A small lip covers the silver bezel. I was especially impressed with the feel - a seductively soft, yet grippable matte finish. The cut outs are precise. I wish the bottom of the phone wasn't exposed, though, and may purchase protective film.

My wife and I recently upgraded from the iPhone 4 to the 5S. We happily shed our bulkier cases for the Veil. She isn't easily impressed by gadgets, but has raved about the case since I installed it on her phone. I am slightly worried about catastrophic drop protection - even though I'm careful with my devices and realize the Veil isn't an Otterbox - but feel better having AppleCare+ should anything happen. Bodyguardz Pure tempered glass protects our screens.

Out of the box, one Veil had scratches on the back. I sent photos to Caudabe and they promptly replied. A replacement is on the way. It's reassuring to deal with a responsive company, especially since the Veil was out of stock for several weeks.

Jazzed so far!

I'm still using some 0.35mm case from eBay similar to The Veil, and considering if I should change to Caudabe!
 
My order of two finally came in from Caudabe. I'm still amazed at how something this simple can work so well. (And that totally sounded Jony Ive-ish.) This is still after a year hands down the nicest ultra thin case I've seen.
