thanks ddr ! i actually dont really care about looks for my iphone anymore :/ most of the aftermarket backplates i put on shattered or simply felt too tacky. the aftermarket cases that i got for looks either faded, didnt offer good protection, fucked up the screen protector, broke and didnt feel good in the hand. i dropped my iphone so much the vibrate is pretty weak and lock doesnt really work anymore :/ i ended up getting a incase slider case. i personally dont mind having a thick case because it offers more protection. cant really give a review on the new case since i dont have a screen protector on right now and my vibrate sucks so i dont know if it reduces the vibrate. but overall it looks alright and satisfies me
