tl;dr - It's a very nice case if you have $50 you can spend without hardship on a phone case.

No pics, dbrand has all the pics you could want and this is dead on what they have on the site.

Deets -

Okay, got my dbrand clear ghost today, couple days early per the estimated delivery but it took 6 days to show up USPS so it's sent bulk rate or something as I'm in the middle of the country. Which is fine, just level setting others expectations.

I did get an email saying it had been delivered with a "if it's not where you normally get your packages then ask your carrier why he stole your case" footnote.

The package was cute, soft pack envelope covered in tiny 'fine print' in about a 5 point font filled with dbrands outrageousness about their total disregard for accounting principles, blowing up the sun etc.

Inside is a stark white box with Ghost Case embossed into it that wraps around the side and front.

Inside that was the case (very) on a slide out card securely mounted to a piece of foam custom fit for the case.

The case was covered inside and out in 4 pieces of peel with little ghosts on it. Cute.

The bulk of the case material is a hard material, think Ringke's back panel in their Fusion line. This is not your dad's silicon squishy case. Of course if it was my dad's phone case it would be a phone booth because I'm old.

Embedded in that from the screen edges down toward the back face is a softer black material that's ridged/grooved for a solid grip feel with what feels like the right amount of grip without being sticky to the point of being a fuzz magnet. This material runs 360 around the case with corner bulges adding a more corner impact protection and is made up of larger rectangles connected by thinner strip lines. Some may hate it, I kind of like it.

Moving to the back there's a ring of that black material that circles the camera bump with the long ridge lines that protrude above the camera bump but very thin in a good way compared to other cases I've had so the bump doesn't get substantially 'bigger' visually.

(So basically what you would see in their product photos)

The black material contrasts nicely with the blue of the phone.

Overall I'd put this case on the bulk bell curve where far left is the ultra minimalist cases and far right is the otterbox cases just left of center. Dieting but not anorexic.

The buttons are very clicky, no mush or squish to them. Thumbs up in a big way here.

The mag safe compatible ? (why it's the shape of a question mark I'm not sure) on the back is NOT centered on the G vertically like a lot of cases with magnets. It's actually centered on the charging plate inside the phone. Also thumbs up here for me. It's my understanding that an off center charger will both charge slower but cause more heat generation. I don't know if that's 100% accurate. But if youre a visually OCD person the G being off center may bug you especially if you don't wirelessly charge your phone.

Is it worth $50? Debatable. It's a nice case don't get me wrong, with a very quality feel to it. But it's also $50.

While I think the package and packaging was top notch, this is a case designed to keep a phone safe in a reasonable fall. I think we could ditch the fancy packaging, throw this thing in a standard (free) USPS shipping envelope and save $10-$12 on packaging and materials that we're just going to throw away anyway and save a tree. The case will make it to the customer just fine.

I get Dbrand's schtick is this fun stuff but in this economy, a PDF with cute pictures and phrases showing the packaging and box would have been good enough for me. :)
