Are the sides around the case clear or solid black? I purchased the "Gray" case and the sides were clear rather than gray like the back of the case.

The back on mine looks like a matte black finish and the sides are a smooth shiny black

The rubberized coating is around the outer edge - most of the case is clear, aside from the black you can see around the edge that is rubber. I've only had my case for about a month now, but it's holding up just fine :-)

Hi Drew...I purchased the blue case and I am so glad I did. I was tired of looking for a black phone/case in the bottom ofmy bag and this case solved that problem. It is not as blue as this picture looks. The frame is blue and the back is mostly black with some blue on different spots. I recommend the case and the color

Since a lot of the case is black, it would depend on what look you are going for. The sides and the bands at the top and bottom are black.

As others have said,the sides and part of the back are gloss black. The larger "S" or swoosh detail on the back is flat black, which makes it appear slightly lighter in color, but I wouldn't say it looks grey. The contrast is quite snazzy looking actually...I also have the white cover, and the gloss part is clear, with the matte kind of a frosted look

I have the black version of the case and I haven't have any problems with it or any of the people I call has say anything about it. I'll recommend you to contact the vender and see if they can help you with your problem. Sorry for not having another solution to your problem

If you really want to see the back, this case may not be the right choice.It's like a brushed, gray-clear color. You can see the darkness of the back of the iPhone (I have the black one too) but it doesn't look as black as it really is.

Sorry, I bought the white one but the sides and corners are black (or very very dark grey). It looks great and has held up well.The fit on my phone S3 is very tight. The rubber on the sides and corners is a hard rubber but it does protect it well.

Mine is black. It arrived very clean. I use it all the time and it's a great case.

That's silly that they said that. As it turns out, I have a black s4 as well, and it looks equally nice if not nicer. The case is clear, so actually it just smokes the color and the dark grey bumper looks nice with the black. So, we arent talking about insulting the color wheel here. All neutral dark greys and transparent backing looks very good against black. I think youll like it. Again, this case is very good. Hope that helped. Cheers!

I think they're all clear with the exception of the bumper, that's how mine came in.. With the black bumper and clear back. I've had it for like 6 months already and hasn't yellowed it has just gotten scratches from me dropping my phone

Not quite sure what you mean by flat? The trim of this case is flat black in color. The back is like a frosted clear so you can kind of see through it. The case itself has a bevel on the edges leading to the back, clear part. the clear part follows the body of the phone, so it's not perfectly flat like an iPhone. I have the case and love it. Think it's probably the best one out there and for the money, you can't beat it.

The clear case's back look amazing (sleek and clean) on my white nexus 5. However the front looks a little odd because the whole thing is black other than the translucent edges. I think black might be the best after further consideration. Pics of clear (scroll down a bit)http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2512135&page;=2Pics of blackhttp://sdrv.ms/1hk29S9

hello JESUS MONTES, thanks for your question. This case is only Black for now. Have a nice day.

It looks a bit gray, but more like powdered clear. When up against the black back of an iPhone it looks gray for sure.

BTW, more accurately, the back side is 'half transparent black', that is, it is not as black as the front, but, in general, it is black..

The outside of the case is black, as indicated in the description. The divider set is grey.
