I have this case -
Amazon.com: AceAbove Nokia Lumia 1520 Slim Clear Back Case with Bumper / Cover for Nokia 1520 - Clear: Cell Phones & Accessories
...and it is beautifully crystal clear...I love that about it. Can't beat the price and it's TPU, so it'll have far more protection than any feather case...without the added bulk. SUPER SLEEK and adds virtually no bulk.

SO, mine came in the other day and I tried it out. I have very mixed feelings and leaning to the "do not like" side. Just some quick notes.
The GOOD:
1. Nice wrap around the corners and edges so even the screen has some protection.
2. Nice rise around camera lens.
3. Snug fit on phone
4. Low price
5. Easy button feel
6. Nice rubbery grip
The BAD:
1. Not as crystal as I had hoped. There is a color distortion adding a bit of yellow. Makes the red phone look pale red to orange.
2. Difficult to insert or remove the phone. (Should get easier with time)
3. Bulky. This does not feel like a slim case. You may not see the added bulk, but you can feel it. Makes the phone a bit deceptive when handling.
4. That nice rubbery grip and extra bulk make it rough to slide in and out of a pouch (belt clip holster). Adds significant friction.
5. Added button sensitivity. It appears the case is already applying tension to the buttons and a slight nudge triggers the action. I think some would call this a positive, but not I.
6. This is an odd one and 1520 color/surface may provide a different experience for others, but it is really bothering me. I am using the Red model. The smooth surface of the red 1520 in combination with the rubber case create a sealing/adhering effect. The result is a bubbly effect between the case and phone with shiny and dull spots. I would describe it as a poorly placed screen protector and the air was not squeegeed out. You can even see the dust and particle raises, just like a screen protector. Just random surface contact points causing a blotchy appearance. I may need to provide some photos to give a real understanding. I am considering adding a moisture layer (a spritz of screen protector applicator) then using a squeegee. If I do this, I will get some before and after shots.
For $5, it is worth developing your own opinion. I will be using it situationally, but it will not be my primary case.
