Swarovski Crystal AB iPhone 5 case

Good evening my friends!

To know me is to know of my love for anything that "blings". With my recent upgrade to the iPhone 5, I was no longer able to find use of my Swarovski crystal light rose AB case made by the wonderful Claudia over at REMCrystals.com, so I contacted her in order to get the ball rolling on a custom initial Swarovski case for my new phone. I am a frequent customer of Claudia's and refuse to go anywhere else as I trust her service and quality. 

Claudia informed me of the recent upgrade that Swarovski made to their flatback crystals. The original 2028 crystals were upgraded to a longer, pointier version with larger facets to enhance sparkle. I did some research on it and found some awesome information at RhinestonesUnlimited.com. I got some screenshots of their visual of the differences between the older model (2028) and the new upgraded flatback model (2058). 

Here is a timeline of the modifications that the flatback crystal has gone through over the years.

I must say, I was excited about the changes and knew I was in for a treat! Claudia didn't disappoint! My case is remarkable! It's flawless and with the custom initial K, the crystal arrangement follows the curves of the K and comes out in a gorgeous strass. I am so excited to show off my case!

  1. This is a good case, but isn't it harder to put in the pocket? I mean I like it and I would like to have it very much but it will worry me if I have put my iPhone in my back pants pocket.

    1. I don't find any difference with comfort when input it in my back pocket. I will say that I am more aware and careful with my phone, but thats an overall good thing. I'm very particular about my things so regardless, I try to always keep my phone secured and in a safe place.
