Accessories Case from rearthusa.com

I was asked to review a case from rearthusa.com and post my thoughts of it.

I got the case in today, I forgot to tell them what color I wanted to I got lime green. The lime green is ok, but not a color I would have picked. I already have a hard case that I use one my phone. That is black with pink stars and hearts on it that I love.

But as far as this case goes, I do not like silicon cases because they don't stay on the phone that great and pick up every little piece of dirt. I have never bought a silicon case in like 5 years. But after having this one for only a day I love it. Its a harder silicon then I though it would be, it stays on the phone and doesn't slip off when trying to pull it out of your pocket.

It doesn't pick up all the dirt like all the other ones, it fits the phone really nice. It also looks good on the phone, doesn't look like a cheap case. I only wish it came with some kind of designs on them that you could pick for the color that you wanted. But I will be ordering a pink one cause I really don't like the green.

I give this case 8/10.
 
I have one of these cases coming too, I asked for the red one. I love my tpu case, not a huge fan of silicone but ill give it a try since its supposed to be thicker.
 
I asked for the Aqua Black but I'm not so sure if maybe it's a scam.

I guess we'll see when and if it gets here.

It's for real, I got mine in like 4days. After having it for a few days I order two more. The color I wanted and another one cause I love to change cases.
 
Looks like I won't be getting my case :( I inquired about if mine was shipped and he gave me a tracking number shows delivered but I didn't get it. Mailman isn't the best so he probably placed it in the wrong box (street i live on has one of those big community boxes like for apartments) and my neighbors aren't the greatest at admitting they got something that didn't belong to them. Oh well at least I didn't pay for it.
 
Didn't want to make a separate thread since there are a few of them running rampant already, so here goes ....

Just received my aqua black Ringke case from RearthUSA. Right off the bat I
 
Well I was sent a replacement case for the one that went missing.

I received the red wine color. First impression after opening it, the silicone material is definitely better than the cheap almost see through silicone cases from china off ebay.
I like how it has the detail on the back of the case like where the sim card door and battery door are. Also the volume and power buttons are so easy to use with this case. With one on my tpu cases i have to press hard to get them to work but with this case it's effortless to use those buttons.

Now the bad. As noted before the lip of the case that comes up around the screen is filmsy. When swiping side to side my finger can easily catch the case and push it off the screen. This would make it easy to get dust and lint from your pocket or whatever under the case since it isn't a real tight fit.
Also the lip around my camera isn't even. Not sure if anyone else had that problem but the portion of the lip closest to the led light is higher and the side by the speaker is almost flush with the camera lens.
I have also noticed that when I put the phone in a sweatshirt pocket I get a lot of fuzzies stuck to the case. I didn't notice it until I got outside and went to use my phone. But everytime I pulled it out of my pocket I found myself wiping the case off.

As for the durability I haven't dropped my phone with this case nor do I plan on trying it. It's not a thick case so maybe a short fall off a couch or chair might be OK.

Overall I would give this case a 7.5/10

If the screen and camera lens lip could be fixed and maybe a different material or silicone mix to prevent the lint sticking issue I would maybe consider getting another Rearthusa case but for now its back to my tpu case until I buy an otterbox.
 
here are some pics of the red wine case.
