Easy "3D CSS card flip" example

Let's see a very very basic integration of the awesome "card flip" effect with simple CSS3 properties. Feel free to use/share/contribute.

HTML

<div class="flip"> 
    <div class="card"> 
        <div class="face front"> 
            Front
        </div> 
        
        <div class="face back"> 
            Back<br/>
            sdfgsdfg
        </div> 
    </div> 
</div>

CSS

body {
 background: #ccc;   
}
.flip {
  -webkit-perspective: 800;
   width: 400px;
    position: relative;
    margin: 50px auto;
}
.flip .card.flipped {
  -webkit-transform: rotatex(-180deg);
}
.flip .card {
  height: 100%;
  -webkit-transform-style: preserve-3d;
  -webkit-transition: 0.5s;
}
.flip .card .face {
  width: 100%;
  position: absolute;
  -webkit-backface-visibility: hidden ;
  z-index: 2;
    font-family: Georgia;
    font-size: 3em;
    text-align: center;
    cursor: pointer;
}
.flip .card .front {
  z-index: 1;
    background: black;
    color: white;
}
.flip .card .back {
  -webkit-transform: rotatex(-180deg);
    background: white;
    color: black;
}

JavaScript

$('.flip').hover(function(){
    $(this).find('.card').addClass('flipped');
    return false;
}).mouseleave(function () {
    $('.flip > .card').removeClass('flipped');
});

var frontHeight = $('.front').outerHeight();
var backHeight = $('.back').outerHeight();

if (frontHeight > backHeight) {
    $('.flip, .back').height(frontHeight);
}
else if (frontHeight > backHeight) {
    $('.flip, .front').height(backHeight);
}
else {
    $('.flip').height(backHeight);
}
