Does the keyhole design over the camera affect pictures with the flash on? My current phone has that shape and it causes blurred pictures.

Nope, has not affected any of my pictures. There is a couple mm border around the camera lens and flash so there's not really a chance of it getting in the way. I would def buy it again, it's by far the best cheap phone case I've ever bought

I just took a flash picture in an almost completely dark room and it looks great. On visual inspection of the 5S in the case, there does not appear to be any obstruction to the flash or aperture.

I just tested it with and without the case, and yes, the case interferes with the flash quite heavily. Best to remove the case for any flash photos.

Nope. Phones are different sizes, and if they were companies like to change how the camera looks (where the flash is located)

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.

I have the 5s and when it comes to taking pictures with flash sometimes it'll make a picture look a little cloudy, but not always... It's weird...

No, it has a very defined cutout for the lens and flash. I have not had any problems taking pictures with this case.

Yes, the cover does affect the images taken with flash. The top part of the image will have a lighter color as the flash reflects on the cover somehow. I always have to remove the cover if I don't want my image to look like they have a subtle white layer on it.

The case does not interfere with the flash at all. I have taken pictures with the case on using the flash and the picture comes out the same as if the case was off.

Not at all, there is a generous space for the lense and flash. It is shaped sort of like a bowl. Very good for flash. No hindrance.

Somewhat it does block camera actions for Iphone 4/4s users. I noticed that if I take a picture of anything without the flash the case is not a problem and does not block out anything, but when I have my camera with flash mode it does block out around the corners of the picture and makes the picture seem blurry or as though I have edited the picture with some kind of glassy/glossy look. Either way in the end, the camera does not block out camera features but just make sure to remove the case when taking a photo with flash is needed. Any more questions please ask :)

Yep, absolutely. It does not interfere with the camera lens. It does interfere with the flash projection a bit though, the same way that it would if you had a thick case on it.

Sorry I can't say as I returned the case immediately when I discovered it was not the right case for our phone. I don't recall how the camera and flash were oriented on it now. Good luck!

Not at all in my experience. I can see it maybe interfering with flash but I haven't noticed anything like that either.

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 :(

The white case will cause a problem with pictures taken with the flash. A crescent glow on the image. Since I almost never use the flash, I don't care. Wish I could be more help. Other than that, this case is awesome! I love it. Phone buttons work better, grip is excellent, and it looks great. Very masculine. Haha.

I had a problem with blurry images, too, so finally checked the owners manual (duh!) It mentions that if you press the shutter too hard, you actually cause the blurriness. I have lightened up my touch, and things have improved. I still love this camera.
