I know that some cases will cause the flash to reflect back into the camera lens. How is this case and the new flash on the 5S?

this case doesn't make the flash relfect. at least not for me. the iphone 5s flash is pretty good + you can fix any red eyes you get, but it doesnt always work, most of the time its fixes red eyes

I have had no issues with the flash. The camera takes great pictures with my case on.

Very good observation! The area around the flash is the same color as the plastic mount to hold the phone. With the Black leather it's black, in the red and brown, it's white. I have the brown case and there is definitely reflection off the case. I took a black sharpie and blacked the inside part around the flash. Not noticeable with the phone in the case and eliminates most of the bounce back. However, I think this is a problem with leather cases generally where the flash is as much as 1/8" deep in the case. There will be some bounce-back against the edge of the case. Had the same problem with a prior 4S case (which was black) and it took me a couple days to figure out that was the problem.

The camera flash does work, but like with pretty much every single case I've ever had on my iPhone, it does damage the photo a little since it seems like there is an object (the case) right next to where the flash is at and it reflects. I will admit that that may be the only semi-downfall of the case.

No Amy, and Ive actually had this problem on some previous cases before but it leaves more than enough space for the lens and flash to work properly without interference! hope this helps! :)

I have this with my 5S and while the camera does fit within the shape, the edge of the pictures are affected by the size of the opening, and with flash it's even worse. I really do like the case though, I've just been removing it when I take pictures. At this price though, if they rev it with a larger opening I'll happily buy another one.

Personally I don't take many pictures with my phone and when I do its usually during the daytime. My flash is always kept on auto so it doesn't normally go off but since you asked I tried taking a few pictures around with the flash on. What I found was there was no real difference in the same picture whether the case was on or off. There were no instances where glare was added to a picture unless there was glare already. I hope this helps.

Yes. The case doesn't affect photos at all. Flash also operates normally with the case on. You can even take crystal clear photos underwater (just make sure to test case according to the instructions first).

I do not experience any issues with this case on my iPhone 5S. I am familiar with a fuzzy image that some other cases can cause. This one doesn't do that to me.

The front protector should work, but the back will not because of the updated flash bulbs on the 5s.

I wanted to buy those lenses for m iphone 5c but I am worried about that shadow they say is produces when you take the photograph. Can someone show me an example of how it looks like?

I see no reason why it shouldn't fit the 5s since it shares the same form factor as the 5. My only concern would be the camera. The flash in the 5s a little larger than the flash on the 5 and the back of the case is thick enough (about 4.5mm) that it could affect the how the light is distributed and the color balance of your pictures. I'm just theorizing based on pictures of the 5s, I don't have one to test.

I've had my case for awhile now and have had no issues with the camera. The cutout for the flash in no way hinders the ability to shoot your photo and they look just as good as if you'd taken them without the case. It took me a short period of time to figure out exactly how I needed to hold the phone for the photo as the front flap is hanging down on a landscape shot and to the side on a portrait shot. Once I figured that out it was smooth sailing. Beyond that, I am truly enjoying not having to carry a wallet. If I have my phone, I have what I need. It seems to be holding up quite well and I recommend this case. I've had my case for awhile now and have had no issues with the camera.

Don't worry, I have this case on my iPhone 5s and there's no problem with the camera cut out. It's perfect!

I don't know of any flash issues, I have a white case though and it doesn't really seem to affect the flash? Then again, I don't take too many indoor/night photos so I may not have noticed. I'm sorry I couldn't be more help :(

I have the iPhone 5s and it fits perfectly with the new flash. It doesn't obstruct it at all, and I don't notice any "hazes" from it.

I have the iPhone 5 and it fits great. I really love this case. The only problem is the flash. It reflects on the white of the cut out. I just pop out the phone and take the picture. Not really a big deal. The case is perfect otherwise.
