Take A Peek At My Peacock: Case-Mate Peacock Review

Something that many of you may not know about me is that, aside from being a shoe-adoring fashionista, I am an enormous animal lover. Over the years I have shared my living quarters with rabbits, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, lizards, frogs, rats, and, in the fourth grade, an assortment of snails (insects, I know, but I was their guardian nonetheless). Therefore, when Case-Mate offered me the chance to select a new case for my iPhone 4S, I instantly set my sights on the aptly-titled ‘Creature Cases’ – specifically, the pretty Peacock – to show my devotion to the animal kingdom.

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).

POSITIVES:
♥ 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!
