SwitchEasy's Nude Case and Black iPhone 5

Hey guys. I'm going to be getting my new iPhone 5 soon (black 16 GB) and I was looking at cases. I fell in love with the NUDE case by SwitchEasy.

Anyway, I know that the black iPhone's anodized aluminum bezel-thing is prone to scratching. This is a PC-snap-on type case, and I want to make sure that it won't scratch the edges as I add/remove it. Does anyone have this case/phone combination? Any issues?

(I like the TONES case by SwitchEasy too, but I don't see any issues like this with that)

Any other input on thin cases (preferably clear)?

I just received the Switcheasy Nude case (clear). I love it for what it is: a minimalist looking case that shows off the great design of the iPhone 5. I have the White version and it looks great in this case. Highly recommended for those who are careful with their iphone. If you're looking for Otterbox-like protection, move on.

Btw, since this case doesn't have a lip of any kind the face of the screen will come in contact with surfaces if put face down. However, Switcheasy does provide you with two screen protectors.

Cool, but does it scratch when you put it on/take it off?

If you install it as instructed (placing the left side in first) and remove it starting from the left side, you should not scratch the case during installation or removal. This is a far better option than the Griffin Reveal, which is a scratch magnet.
