AmazonBasics iphone 5 Case
AmazonBasics iphone 5 Case Pros:
Great fit. It’s snug and keeps the sleek look of the iPhone5.
The back is a clear, hard plastic that shows off the amazing back of the iPhone5. The sides are made out of TPU(?)
There is a lip design that allows the phone from touching the surface when faced down.
Holes for camera and lock screen are perfect. Buttons line up and has enough resistance to avoid accidental presses.
Comes with an anti glare screen protector (I cannot review this because I already have one on but it seems to line up well with the phone)
No obtrusive branding!
AmazonBasics iphone 5 Case Cons:
The plastic back *may* be prone to scuffs (speaking only from previous experience with similar cases)
Large cutout on the bottom (this is very minor and may not be a Con for many users)

Apple takes its largest creative liberties; it would seem, in its least competitive product categories. Let’s take a moment to compare Antenna-Gate to Map-Gate.
In the first case, Apple did something intrepid and flawed yet brilliant and when the media pushed, they pushed back. In the latter, Apple attempted to re-create a competing and perfectly workable service, came up short in almost all respects and humbly apologized when told it wasn’t good enough.
Google definitely earns revenue from Android. There’s just a lot of fuzzy math involved in determining how much money it is. But it’s pretty clear where Google’s revenue comes from. 96% of their 2011 revenue was from advertising (69% AdWords, 27% AdSense). Of course, the Apple that simultaneously domineered and amazed its loyalists and the media are not gone, what we’re witnessing is more akin to a cumbersome puberty like the tons of AmazonBasics iphone 5 Case. Consider Apple’s proliferation into the mainstream analogous to a deepening of its voice. Apple, the sophomore in high school, commands more power and clout than ever and is now delicately attempting to embrace his new found popularity without abandoning his middle school friends(his elementary school pals are long gone).
This somewhat awkward duality is represented most profoundly in the iPad line. When the original iPad was first announced, Apple called it “the best web surfing, email, photo and video experience”, adding “With a screen this large, you can just see more of the web” and “You can see all of the top stories”.
So it’s like, designed specifically to balance on the human lap?
Remember “magic”? This was delivered with conviction and backed up with calculations (valid or not). 9.7 to 10.1 became the new de facto range for tablets not only because Apple said so but because Apple said so and then explained why it was. ‘Of course I need to see the full internet’, we thought, ‘that’s what makes sense’.
The iPad is literally a large iPod Touch, but functionally it is not. The iPad mini is literally a smaller iPad, and that’s what it is functionally, too, according to Apple at least.
Watching the product video, Apple quickly brushed over the new diminutive size, the only benefit touted being the mini’s supposed one-handed use and even this aspect is framed as a minor convenience to the inevitably of a 7.9 inch tablet. One that will be used in “so many different ways”, not a single one of which was detailed because Apple doesn’t know and maybe they don’t care, what they do know is that people will buy it, giving the company a strong foothold in a booming sub-market.
