I voted for @Arne's answer, because I find it the most elegant solution to this problem. I would just like to add some code in order to answer to @Bill's problem from his comment on @Arne's solution. Here's comment quote:

Thanks, this works for me. However, when the user taps the Back button, it reverts to the busted animation (because the back button doesn't call popViewControllerRetro). – Bill Oct 3 at 12:36

In order to call popViewControllerRetro when back button is pressed, there's a small hack you can perform in order to achieve this. Go into your pushed view controller, import UIViewController+Retro.h and add this code in your viewWillDisappear method:

- (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated {
    if ([self.navigationController.viewControllers indexOfObject:self] == NSNotFound) {
        [self.navigationController popViewControllerRetro];
    }

    [super viewWillDisappear:animated];
}

This if statement will detect when Back button is pressed and will call popViewControllerRetro from category class.

Best regards.
