More excuses by a reputable company instead of owning up that they got it wrong.

How else are you suppose to install a case?

Wear gloves before opening the box?

I cannot stop laughing at people mocking Apple for charging £59 for Fine Woven case and then defending Dbrand.



Two types of scratches 😂.

The 2 categories of scratches, scratches right of the box which is not acceptable.

The other scratch I’m referring too is the many reports of having no scratches out of the box, then after installing the phone scratches appear. If you install phone properly then I can’t see scratches happening as a result of installation.

That’s not people’s faults or that they don’t know how to install cases.

Hard plastic clear cases will scratch once you pop the phone in and out from the contact of the phone against the case itself.

I had a caudabe lucid clear a couple years back and same thing happened after installing the phone in and out a few times. It’s inevitable.

Would love to know if you could do otherwise lol

I've used clear cases on so many different devices and mainly from Spigen and Ringke ..I can count maybe 2 times if that much where I scratched the case from changing cases .. I'm no expert on anti yellowing but my common sense tells me to buy the cheaper case with solid feel and replace it when it yellows ...you will probably be on a different phone by the time you get to case #3... I will add I'm a Dbrand customer for many years and will continue to buy their products..they have always done great customer service from my experience...

My grey sheath arrived today. First time trying it out. My initial thoughts…

- fits great. Nice and tight and feels solid.
- power button is good, other buttons are meh.
- it’s a bit more bulky and heavier than I would really like but I’ll run with it for now and see how it goes.
- grip on the sides for me is good. Grip on the back, I’m not sure. My skin type is such that there are cases I try that feel like a bar of soap to me that others seem to like so I’m not sure yet if this will work for me. Clearly the synthesis sides are grippier but how is the back? It looks more plastic to me and potentially less grippy?

Have to say I was very impressed with delivery to the UK. I used the 30% discount code and so decided to ‘treat’ myself to express delivery with the saving. Total cost for the case with delivery with the discount was £40.02. I ordered it late Sunday evening. It dispatched Monday and I received it in the Uk on Wednesday. Very efficient and better than many Uk companies manage!

Well watching YouTubers I don’t see the case getting scratched after installation.

So you’re saying it’s rare for the case to get scratched as a result of installation?

I’m not saying rare just my experience of it not happening.. also you have to take into consideration if it’s a tight fit bc that will increase the chances of scratches ..if I got a scratch on a case it’s from normal usage which is understandable..

What would you say to those that are unhappy about the Ghost case getting scratched as a result of installation then?

Man it's tough everyone's tolerance level is different...I'm OCD ..if I just got the case and it scratched the first time installing the phone and knowing how careful I am with all my cases I would be pissed tbh... I'm not one to lie about stuff so I would notify customer service and we can figure it out ...as I mentioned earlier long time Dbrand customer so I have no reason to stop being a customer..

Anyone have the Otterbox Lumen? It’s on a 4-6 week delivery time at Apple here in Sydney, Australia. I want to get a nice clear case with Magsafe, I did order the Ghost case but cancelled after reading about some of the issues and like others don’t want to deal with overseas returns processes.

I have the Torras Clear Shockproof and its a baller case.

Tee ok there’s problems with the Ghost coming scratched out of the box.

However there are a lot of reports that the Ghost is getting scratched when installing. In other words as a result of installing your iPhone, the case is getting scratched. The installation is causing the case to get scratched.

Since you review a lot of cases, what’s your take on this? I find it impossible that the installation process is causing scratches. Is it possible that the installation process can cause scratches?

Not at all impossible. Happens on Tech21 clear cases, it happens on some Otterbox clear cases, and it happened to a Spigen case I had many years ago. It's probably not accurate to call them scratches though. They are more like scuffs that result from insertion of the phone...as the phone's corners slide into place they mark up the case.

"You're holding it wrong" vibes. Super ridiculous. Installing a case normally should not make scratches on a brand new case.

Took delivery of two Sheaths, both damaged on arrival.

Less than impressed.

I totally agree. I have a clear

Spigen Magnetic Ultra Hybrid.​

Not one mark. You put the side with the volume keys and action buttons in and work the top and bottom over the ends and slip up the right side.

I will admit these Hybrid Cases are insanely good for the price. Accurate generous cutouts on the bottom, excellent fit and the MagSafe is ludicrously strong.

Only downside is they will inevitably yellow over time but that’s more a clear case thing.

Both are good. The sides and back are nicely grippy. The back does show fingerprints and smudges but they easily wipe off. Being a clear case though they aren't as immediately visible as with an aramid fiber case.

Great, thanks for the feedback. Fingerprint’s don’t bother me as much hehe
