One thing that always worries me about cases that feature raised pieces is that, while gorgeous to look at, they will add too much bulk to the iPhone’s slim design. That was not a problem I encountered with the Case-Mate Peacock. Though the raised silicone pieces add a 3-D effect to the overall design; instead of adding excess bulk, they create a surface that is easier to grip so that you avoid accidental drops (always a plus for those of us who are clumsy).
The colors, while stunning online, are far deeper and rich looking in person, bringing to life the true jewel-tones of a peacock (and adding the most decadent pop of color to monochromatic ensembles). But the true clincher, and one of my favorite attributes of this case, is the matching tail and plumage which dangles from the bottom corner – a charming detail that I find irresistible (and, mark my words, will leave a trail of adoring admirers in your wake).
♥ Brilliant colors and an adorable design that create an instant forum for compliments and conversation. ♥
♥ Form fit that protects your iPhone at all times; while allowing access to all ports and functions when in use. ♥
♥ Flexible silicone shell. ♥
♥ Impact resistant. ♥
♥ Raised silicone pieces that work overtime, creating both a gorgeous 3-D effect, and providing an easy-to-hold grip. ♥
FASHIONISTA VERDICT:
Playful in aesthetic; elegant in hue. The Peacock Case is perfect for adding brilliant pops of color to monochromatic looks; and will leave you with the desire to build an entire animal menagerie of iPhone cases (I currently have my eye on Hoot the Owl and Xing the Panda). A word of wisdom for users: Be prepared to fend off compliments galore – from my experience, this Peacock is too pretty for most to resist!

My iPhone is still rocking blue and green plaid. I need a more feminine case as soon as I learn to get this one off, haha. I love Peacocks because of those jewel tone colors of theirs. This was a wonderful review.
Oh that is cute! Something I would use if I had an iphone for sure.
Oh my goodness. Love that design and the colors!
My hubs got me pink covers. I love them!
I am the hugest cat lover. Hopefully this year I'll get a Persian;)

I love this case! Definitely practical and really stylish. I adore CaseMate. I have the Kayla clutch which I really love.
Great review! And the tail on the case is just too adorable. How imaginative for the designers to even come up with this concept. Thanks for pointing out that the case will not give it a bulky feel. I have purchased cases and not used them for this very reason. Glad to know the designers considering customer's needs. Happy New Year! :)
i really like the jewel tones and the great fit. i might get one for my android.
Oooh, I like it!
