Magpul Field case for 5s Review

Wondering this too. Anyone else who owned the clear case for a while notice discoloring?
There's a review on Amazon that says the clear one does turn yellow over time. Sort the reviews by stars and its one of the 2 or 3 star ones i believe.
To give you an idea of how tight/precise the Magpul fit is on a 5s, I put back & sides protection on my iPhone and that thin skin made all sides bulge to expose the aluminum. Removed the Skintz to restore the fit.
Quick question for you Magpul owners: I actually ordered two of these to review.... one in gray, the other in teal. Both off of Amazon from the variation listing everyone seems to buy from. Is official, etc.
Both of them dont fit my iPhone 5S perfectly. Both of them have a slight sag on the bottom, thus revealing a tiny bit of silver chrome. Is this normal? Does the sag go away after a little bit? I'm a tad baffled why such a highly acclaimed forum case would get such praise with the bottom of it sagging a bit. Maybe I got two bad ones?
Any one else with the same issue?

Thanks Krabba for saving me some money. I just order another Magpul case.
You're not saving anything.. $12 for shipping makes it a $19 case. eBay sellers charge way less. Or if you have Amazon Prime, you can get it directly from Amazon for $12 shipped.

able to share a few pics of your case in teal? Bee wanting to get a Teal coloured one too but the website teal looks kinda different from real life.
was hoping that it had this shade
Thanks!
That is odd, haven't seen/heard that before. Can you post a photo with it on the phone?
Sorry for the lack of reply, been extremely lazy and continue to be. So, I went around and checked out a few video reviews. This seems to be common, however, you likely dont notice if you have a black iPhone. I checked out Meta's video video review of it...and it does the same exact thing.
Check out right BELOW the home button..took a quick screen cap.

Could you please post a picture of the red Magpul case? I've been thinking about getting the red one for a while, but couldn't find any real pictures. Thanks!!
Ah, first I've seen of this. I have the black case and space gray iPhone so it wouldn't be very noticeable but I just checked and it isn't present.
There is actually a solution to the issue. Remove ur phone from the case, Use a hair dryer, heat up the case area where the sagging is to slightly hot, do not heat at one spot, move it around the area, then bend inwards, and hold it there for a few seconds, after that let it cool off and pop in ur phone to try, if not satisfactory, redo the same process.
I have 3 magpul case. Clear, black and flat dark earth. Only my FDE has this issue, my black and clear is perfect. Issue is resolves using the above method.
You sir are awesome. I did this last night and it's absolutely perfect now. Cheers to you.

Glad that it helps. I believe it's due to the packaging they used. As when we remove the case when new from the package, it's almost like ripping the case off.
My Orange Magpul case showed up today, and it does, indeed, live up to the hype. slim, superior fit, great grip and a solid construction. Very good case at an exceptional price. No problems plugging in my monoprice cables either.
I like the orange a lot...very different. That said, someone asked me if I was a Flyers fan HELL NO I'm not...I just like the color. (LET'S GO PENS!)

I've tried this vase for the 3rd time now. I just can't do it. The buttons are not responsive (especially the volume buttons) and the bottom sag drives me insane.
Can't beat it on how it feels in your hand though.

Man, that sucks. I've had just one and the buttons have been perfect. No bottom sag either.
