Killspencer iPhone 5 Alcantara Veil

I normally don’t buy the “latest and greatest” gadgets and when the new iPhone 5 came out last week (I think?), I didn’t break my rule but a friend of mine did buy one.  The first thing I noticed about the iPhone 5 was how light it was compared to the last one.  The loss in weight comes from the removal of the glass on the back, which is replaced by a metal piece and that’s what this post is about.

I’ve read reports about the metal piece getting scratched easily, so I thought I’d look for some sort of accessory that would protect the back from getting scratched, for our loyal viewers that bought the iPhone 5 (I’m such a nice guy).

The Killspencer iPhone 5 Alcantara Veil is the perfect solution, it not only gives the iPhone 5 an elegant and sophisticated look but also saves it from getting scratches, no one wants a scratched up $800 phone.  If you’re not familiar with what Alcantara is, have a look at some of our posts on tuned luxury cars, most of their interiors are lined with this material; Alcantara is a suede-like material.  Don’t get scared by my reference to “luxury tuned cars”, the Killspencer Alcantara iPhone 5 Veil is actually quite reasonably priced at $25 each.
