Comments on: Review: Naked Case Touch-Through Acrylic Case

Previously I used rubbery and hard plastic flip open cases with separate screen protectors.

Personally I like the touch through case better. It makes your phone a little bulkier but it looks very protective. I like that the top looks smooth and glossy like a bare iPhone. My case really snaps on hard. The instructions on my package for removing it didn't work for me so the only time I ever took it off I had to use a knife in the crack to pry it open. Yes there are bubbles, no amount of manipulation removes them though you can move them around a little. For me the only time the bubbles are noticeable is when my screen is all the same color; when there is anything else on the screen I don't see the bubbles from straight on but they are more visible from the side. The guy at the AT&T store said I could get rid of the bubbles by putting a anti-glare screen protector on my phone inside the case; I worry that two layers on top of my phone would make it not pick up my touch as well and the anti-glare would reduce contrast. I might try Lee's baby powder suggestion since it is easy to undo if it doesn't work.

The case does make the touchscreen slightly less responsive; it takes a slight pressure to pick up. Not entirely a disadvantage since I noticed that I don't accidentally touch something as much. Games where I have to slide my finger across the screen are a little tougher with this case.

Gang- you can get rid of the bubbles. It sounds nuts but it works. DUST your hand with J&J baby powder- then take a cotton swab and dab it in the powder- then wipe the inside of your case screen and the top of your iphone screen. Use VERY little. Wipe off the excess and put the phone n the case. THe baby powder eliminates the "oil' & moisture bubbles you are seeing under the case screen.

bought the white iPhone last friday with this case at AT&T Wireless for $30. i am going to return it. it hurts when held up to your ear, the bubbles did not go away, the lint and dirt buildup between the phone and case is highly visible, and it is VERY difficult to remove. my coworker had to do it for me and luckily it did not scratch my phone! oh yeah... i think it adds a lot of bulk to the phone.

I've been using this case for a month now. It does protect the phone well and I have no bubble issues. However dust and dirt get in and drive me nutts, I have to clean it out daily and am currently looking to replace it.

The case has very sharp ragged edges that scrape across your ear when using the phone. If you live in a climate with daily degree changes in temperature -like winter in northeast US- then moisture collects between the case and the iPhone causing condensation. Not Good! You even see little moisture bubbles that move around as you use the touch screen. Sliding the case on and off the iPhone scratches the back of the case. I would avoid buying this product.

This case scratched the back of my phone really bad. You have to clean out the dust from inside the case frequently. I was very disappointed with this case. On the good side though, i dropped the phone on concrete a couple of times and it held up great

Works for me. I got my first iPhone last week and no problems.

@xwarhammerx: Remember, there are a few different colors available too. I just happened to show the clear case, but black, gray, white and pink are also available.

@iPhone I did try this case out. Something just doesn't feel right about this case as a whole being put over something so beautifully crafted. Its a clear/transparent case so any dust, lint, debris of sorts that get under this case is noticeable and horrible bothersome. Grade A fugly in appearance, and overall lack of cosmetic fung shui to match the product it is supposed to protect.

Does look a bit ugly but seems functional so its probably worth a look.

This case seems alright, but I really wish Apple would just lose the ultra-glossy, impossible-to-maintain look to begin with. Give it a Mac-like aluminum case with a matte screen so we don't have to deal with this.

It's like those people who have plastic covering their nice-looking furniture – who's ever going to know how nice-looking it is?

@primechuck: sorry, no clip

@cherryhead25: I have used it for a couple of weeks. Granted I removed the case cover now and again, but I still did not have any scratching issues. However, I could see how they might occur with the 1st gen iPhone due to its metal backing.

@milked: regarding the bubbles, they did go away. I am not sure what caused them.... I also found taking the case off then on would resolve them too. I really did not find the bubbles distracting. Pragmatically, it is probably similar to if you find burned out pixels annoying or not. If you find them annoying, you are likely to find the bubbles annoying I suppose. The good news is, unlike the pixels, you can deal with these bubbles.

I had this case and got rid of it within a couple of weeks. First the bubbles are a major distractors and it does no go away as the article suggested. Secondly it does add to bulk to the slim iphone. The only thing good about it is that you are able to see the whole iphone sleekness form unlike other cases that cover it entirely.

I've read that this case scratches the back of the iPhone. Have you used it for a significant amount of time at all?

Also you guys do really fair comparison reviews. Any way we can see this go head to head with the Xylo T3?
