SwitchEasy Nude for iPhone 5 Review

The Switcheasy Nude is another clear case for the iPhone 5. Unlike the SGP Ultra Thin Air Soft, the Nude is made of a clear plastic which is not bendable but is made up of hard materials.

Protection-wise I think the Switcheasy Nude offers a little to medium protection from drops but I think it has your bases covered when it comes to scratch protection. Unlike the Ultra Thin Air and other clear cases, the top side is covered and they included a plastic cap to protect the bottom as well. The only downside is that you have to take it off when charging. True to its form, the Nude doesn't leave much footprint on your phone so it looks like you're don't have a case on which is good, for those people who, like me, would want protection against scratches but don't want to hide the great design and thin form factor of the iPhone 5.

As for what comes with the package, the Nude comes with two screen protectors and a back protector as well. I like the back protector considering that some case makers fail to include it.

I have to say that so far, the Switcheasy Nude is my favorite clear case, however, after one month's use the top near the power button had a crack but it wasn't because it has shoddy build quality, it was actually my fault since I stubbornly refuse to take off the side protection (SGP Ultra Crystal EX Mix). Naturally, it's a very tight fit, actually, it really won't fit I just jammed the phone inside thus the crack.

Anyways, below are the gallery pictures of the Switcheasy Nude. If you're in the market for a clear case, this should definitely be on your top list.

DAY 11 and 12: Apple's 12 Days of Christmas giveaway

Okay so I missed about posting yesterday's free giveaway which is One Direction's Little Things video so if you're a One Direction fan and missed it...sue me, but if you're not let's move on to the the final giveaway which is Shark Dash.

Apple's giveaway for 2012 is a bit underwhelming. I was hoping for a free eBook like last 2011 but we got nothing although I love Toy Story toons video so I guess that made up for it...a little bit.

Now that its over all we have to look forward to is Apple's App of the week. So till next year.

It's day 5 of Apple's gift giving days and today they're giving away Ed Sheeran Holiday Gift EP.

The EP includes the live versions of Drunk, the small bump, and The City. As previously mentioned you don't need to download the 12 Days Of Christmas app to get access to these freebies, you just need to know which items are actually free and you can search for them in the App store or iTunes for this one, just search for "Holiday Gift Single" in the iTunes store. For Apps, even folks over at the USA who don't have this Holiday promo going on can get access to Apps, however, for Singles and EPs, you need to be at the iTunes store where the 12 days of Christmas is available.

Day 4 of Apple's iTunes Christmas giveaway is Chuggington Traintastic Adventures.

It's a Children's App which is previously around £4 so that's a lot of savings.

I just discovered that you don't actually need the 12 Days of Christmas App, since it seems that Apps that are offered for free is also free for everybody including those in the US. I don't know about music, books and videos though so stay tuned everyday to see what's free.
