The iPhone is such an attractive and stylish piece of fine workmanship that it is almost a shame to hide it inside a protective case. Instead of hiding its natural looks, accentuate those good looks with this Ultra Thin Shatter-Proof Cover for iPhone 5C from Monoprice! This ultra-thin cover is made of polycarbonate engineered to provide both rigidity and flexibility, which is well suited for a phone cover. The flexibility ensures that it is easy to install or remove and that it can absorb shock forces before they penetrate the phones internal mechanisms. The rigidity ensures that the cover stays firmly in place and that the shock forces of any drop or fall are dispersed over the entire surface, thereby reducing the intensity at any single point. The cover encases the back, sides, and corners, with cutouts for the controls and connectors, including a cutout for the camera lens and flash. The edge of the cover extends slightly above the face of the phone, ensuring that the phone screen wont come into contact a flat surface when placed face down.
