8-12-13 Update!
Just want to leave some feedback after using this case for almost two months. I am still using it! I am pretty happy with the case. Seems to be holding up. I take the bottom off often to insert a headphone jack that does not fit in the manufactured hole. Even with taking it often, I don't notice it coming off easier or anything. The case crown text seems to be rubbing off, but I expected that. Not a huge deal. The case keeps my phone pretty clean and free of dust. This is my second case crown case, and once again i am impressed with the quality. Especially for the price. Read my first review for a more descriptive review.
6-19-13 (Arrival day)
Just got my new Case Crown Glider Case today. This is my initial review. I'll try to update it after a few weeks of use.
Shipping and Packaging:
Spot on as usual with Amazon. I'm a Prime member so it arrived in the 2 day time frame. Packaging was great. No damage was done to the package. Case Crown has a very nice box that protects the case before use.
Quality:
I paid very little for this case, but the quality is great. It does not feel cheap at all. It has a nice Matte finish and I imagine it will hold up against scratches nicely.
This case is definitely not meant for hard drops, but I feel like that is made known in the description. This case will be great for scratches and small drops. I do not drop my phone often, so this fits my needs perfectly considering I like smaller cases with decent durability.
Putting on and Taking off:
Definitely the best design for installing. The bottom 1/4 of the case slides out from the rest of the case. It's easy enough to take off but does not just slip off, so I don't fear it flying off if I drop it. Putting the bottom price back on is just as easy.
Overall design and functionality:
One thing I love is the felt inside the case that surrounds the iphone. It adds some extra protection and I can see it stopping a lot of dust and dirt from getting to the phone. That is something I have had problems with in other cases.
Installing and taking off is easy. I take my cases of frequently for various reasons, and this makes it much easier. Also. It i ever run into a problem docking the phone on sometime, being able to slide the bottom part off will be nice.
All the cut outs are perfect except for the sleep button. It is a little to deep/small to press the sleep button with the ease that a lot of cases provide. It's not too bad and is definitely not a deal breaker.
That's about all I have to say for now. I will update later.

Big design flaw
I have had a black CaseCrown Lux Glider case for my iPhone 4 and was really happy with it. You do need to buy these cases if you want an elegant case with light to medium protection mainly for the edges and the back side. You do not want to buy these Lux Glider cases if you need a heavy and sturdy protection.When I received this case, first I was a little disappointed that it is not glossy like my old one but rather matte - I guess I was not really aware of the exact meaning of obsidian.The case slides on very nicely and sits relatively firm on the iPhone 5, which is nice. However, after a short while I realized a major design flaw: there is a gap between the case lip, which is supposed to sit snug on the display, and the display of approximately 0.5 mm (about a fingernail thick). From this design issue follow two major disadvantages:1) the total thickness of the iPhone 5 with CaseCrown Lux Glider is with 11 mm pretty much exactly the same thickness as the iPhone 4/4S with its CaseCrown Lux Glider. So even though the iPhone 5 is approximately 20% thinner than its predecessor you won't notice any difference once the case is on.2) this gap is a perfect place to gather dust. I always carry my phone in my jeans pocket and within a short amount of time dust accumulated already within and around the gap on the display corners.I also posted two pictures where you can see the gap.
