There is a large enough opening for the camera and flash so that quality of the photos is not affected. You can also see the textured back of the case in this image.

There are openings for all ports and buttons. Here is a typical opening in the side of the case.

The STM Bags Harbour case uses a two color scheme with the same design technique as the Opera case.

To place your iPhone into the Harbour case you flip down the bottom and slide the iPhone 5 into place.
