I’m awaiting the arrival of my new 5G, and of an invisible shield. I like the look of these covers, too. Does anyone have any insight as to whether it would fit over a 5G with an IS applied? Or are the tolerances too tight for that?

That’s a lame excuse since the Nats have been around for over year & this product is new.

Big Yankees fan here, and that case really looks nice, but I’m kinda suffering from the “case within a case” syndrome. I want it, but I wouldn’t want it getting dirty so I’d want to get a case for my Yankee case. Hmmm…maybe I can ivisishield it….then again, probably not.

These cases are awesome, I wish they’d come out with some N.H.L. cases. If that were to happen I’d probably buy every one, lol.

Good luck getting your order from these guys. Good luck getting through to the customer service to find our where your order is.
I placed an order for a 5G case and waited a month. I couldn’t get through on the phones and didn’t get a response to my emails. Finally I talked to a human and canceled the order.

I thought that these guys were great with customer service. I ordered an microshield from them two weeks ago and received in the second day after placing the order.
I think the Superman case likes awesome. I’m just concerned about a rubber case versus the bigtime protection my microshield offers.
Has anyone ordered one of these yet?
