Caudabe Veil short review

I actually like the Caudabe logo because it's embossed and not printed on. You can barely see it unless the light is shining at the right angle. Looks classier than printed logos.
Just got mine today. OMG, this case is THIN! But I love it. I put very thin clear geckostrips (used to be known as egrips) on the side of the case to make it less slippery. Bestskinsever skin on the bottom (where the charger goes) to protect the exposed part from scratches.
Very happy with this combo.

Just received mine today too . I love it . Looks great on a gold iphone . Just what I needed protection against scratches on sides and back.
That's a good idea. Where do you get the geckostrips? And how difficult is the bottom of the skin to apply? The bottom is always the most difficult for me to apply.
I have BestSkinsEver on my old naked iPhone 5. For my new slight gray iPhone 5s, I'm waiting for my Caudabe The Veil to arrive tomorrow from Amazon and BestSkinsEver on the bottom. It's not difficult to apply...just spray a little water on the back of the film, let excess water drip, and then apply it. You can move it around until it dries. It's a small piece you don't even need to remove your iPhone from the case. However, BestSkinEver doesn't sell just the bottom piece, you'll need to purchase the "Body Only" package for $8.99, which include all sides (5 pieces) and back (1 piece). If you're going this way, I'd suggest get the "Matte" film for extra $0.99.
Yeah , I just got mine and noticed the samething ? Similar to this image , kinda hard to see ...

I noticed that I had a tiny bulge near the power/sleep button and actually some small cracks near the bottom of the phone when I received it so I emailed support @ Caudabe and they got back to me almost instantly. They asked for some photos and after that they arranged for a replacement. Hopefully this new one won't have the same kind of issues.
Yeah I sent a couple of photos too . They're sending a replacement too. Great customer service by the way . These guys are on top of it . Spigen, take notes !
Yeah, their customer service is nothing short of amazing. Apple-like. I usually buy on Amazon, but they're literally the only case manufacturer where I buy from their website directly. Because of their customer service.
Mine does not have that bulge, by the way. Mine fits like a glove. So you should definitely contact them if you have that issue.

Because of this thread, I decided to order one from Canada. I finally got it today after 10 days waiting. Mine has same kind of bulge just like ur pic showing. I guess I will just use it and hope it won't bother me. Other than that, it's such a thin case. I like it.

Why would you do that when a few people above you just mentioned they got replacements for free? I know plenty who have perfect cases - you shouldn't have to settle, especially when their customer service is good.
Thank u very much. I think u are right.
I will send them email and see how it goes.
mine has no bulges at all and no flashing around the cutouts like i was afraid of. im gonna post some more pics of it later for people to see.
Mine (three of them) are all fine too. Not sure what people are talking about. Sounds like maybe a bad batch?
I thought I saw on another thread someone mentioning that it worked with the glas.t. I don't see why not. It basically covers up against the chamfered edges. Doesn't have a lip.
i can kinda see what they are talking about when i look at mine a little closer. i think its from the molding process, but mine is NO WHERE near as bad as the pic posted before. i never wouldve even known to look for it lol.
Yeah, if I REALLY want to nitpick, then I can see how there's the slightest ever give on top. I have to really fidget with it to even see it. I never even would've noticed had no one raised the issue. I think it's just par for the course for cases this thin. Overall, the case fits perfectly on my phone. I'm still loving it many months later.
Great photos by the way. Looks really sleek.
thanks, took the pics with my iphone 5 and ipad mini.
and yea, i work with SLA resin model prototypes and sometimes they are used to make molds for manufactured products. some of these items can get this thin and i know as a fact, when they are, sometimes the processes used to make/mold them get VERY delicate and are much more susceptible to waves and other defects all because of their lack of rigidity. overall, im surprised how well its manufactured and how they got it to fit so well for being so thin. i wouldve expected the fit to be off or not fully snap into place if the force used to do so overcame the strength of the thin plastic. know what i mean? they did a great job, and i doubt you can get much thinner than this.
I noted the same thing in mine too and sent pics to customer support. They are sending me a replacement case.
In the meantime, what I did was put a very small piece of thin double sided tape close to the power button area and it closed the gap.
