Re: Splash Medley Dual-Layer Hybrid Case (cover for the iPhone 5)
Hi. This product is not sold in the Amozon Co.UK so wondering if anyone knows where I can get this case? Thanks. Kawal.

Re: Splash Medley Dual-Layer Hybrid Case (cover for the iPhone 5)
Hi, I purchased this case as well. I promptly returned it to Amazon. First, I love the case. Nice, sleek, and slender profile. Good build quality too. Except, the power button. Firm pressure? haha. Not in the model I received. I had to press down so hard, I almost dropped my phone a few times. Mind you, this was with the rubber coating, and outer hard plastic shell on. In this configuration, it was near impossible to depress the sleep wake button. With the plastic shell off, it was easier but, by no means trivial. JMO.

Re: Splash Medley Dual-Layer Hybrid Case (cover for the iPhone 5)
Actually, there's a reason for that, at least it appears so to me. Because you don't feel the pressure of the power button pushing in, the tendency is not only to press hard, which you do need to do but also to hold it in an attempt to get it to work. It took me a little practice but now one firm press and release works for me. But i understand that this might not work well for some people. If they made one for the 4S, I would buy that too. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Re: Splash Medley Dual-Layer Hybrid Case (cover for the iPhone 5)
Hi, I actually think its a design flaw. I say this do to the material the part of the case covering the power button is made out of. Its the same density as the rubber at the corners meant for rigidity. Do to this lack of give, and the iPhone 5 power button being more recessed than that of the iPhone 4 or 4S, sufficient contact isn't made between the case and power button. If this case was made for a 4S for example, it would work just fine with out having to figure out the be way to press a button since the power button on the 4S protrudes more. JMO.

Re: Splash Medley Dual-Layer Hybrid Case (cover for the iPhone 5)
Yes, your point is well taken. But since I've found a way to press the button that consistently works for me, I'll keep it.
