Minimal case & cost, maximum protection & value
926976
I have the Alixo Ultrathin Rugged clear case for my iPhone 6, and liked it so much I decided to get one for my wifes 5S. She loves it. It was always such a shame to hide the beauty of the iPhones design under an ugly plastic case.  However, until they harden the phone to the point where a case is not needed (someday, right?) the Alixo is the most minimal rugged case I have ever used.  It goes on easily, and taking it back off isn't difficult either. More importantly it didn't get bent out of shape during removal or reinstallation.  Overall the case fits very well and allows access to all features and buttons (including touch ID). It is actually clear (and not the yellowish shade that clear plastic often shows), offers great protection, provides a little friction (to thwart the phones uncanny ability to slide off of seemingly level surfaces), has a built in screen protector, and costs 20-60% less than other cases that offer similar protection.  Overall I am very pleased with the Alixio case, and have recommended it to family and friends.

The case is a perfect combination of minimal bulk with acceptable protection.  The case alone is not going to protect from falls, but will aid in bumps and bruises.  The design is good with the exception that the case does slide while trying to push the lock button on the ipod.  It really slides when trying to plug or unplug the headphones.  Would recommend the design include a top or bottom slide stop to prevent.  This would also add some protection for the top or bottom.  It is priced as designed and overall value is good.

This is exactly what I wanted.  It fits perfectly, snug, but not a struggle to remove.  It's the perfect minimalist protection, and is a fantastic value.  I think it even has a slightly executive look to it.  I prefer to use my iPad without a case, but carry it in my backpack, and this protects from bumps and scratches.

Good case for a very low price. Excellent for protecting the front/back of the device without adding too much bulk.

Purchased this case for $5 (delivered) to protect a phone I purchased on sale for $10.  You get 3 things with your order--the case, a screen protector, and a stylus.  The case comes in two pieces.  The first piece (which actually wraps around your phone) is a soft, bendable rubber.  It is different than TPU cases I've had in the past in that TPU is generally stiff and has a plastic/rubber feel...the first layer of this case is SOFT and rubber-like (not a bad thing at all).  The second piece is a hard plastic that snaps over the soft rubber.  As you can see in the product photos, the back of the case has a texture.  I was concerned before I ordered that the textured part might be rubbery, thus making it difficult to remove from pockets.  This is not the case--it is also a hard plastic (same as the outer shell).  Both the power switch and volume rockers are completely covered by the rubber case and they work fine.  The cut-outs for the micros-USB cord and headphone jack are exposed, but it should be noted that the micro-USB opening is tight.  The rubber case is somewhere between 1/8" and 1/4" thick but it is soft enough that it will deform to allow you to plug in your charger.  You *might* experience difficulty docking with this case depending on your dock.  The headphone jack seems sufficiently exposed.  I am confident that this case offers AMPLE protection for the phone.  The case itself is not light; I have not weighed it (yet), but it definitely adds to the weight of the device.  The dual-layer design adds a degree of bulk, but not enough for me to consider it a negative (whereas the additional weight is a 'con').  I have no intention of using the screen protector so I cannot comment on its quality, however the stylus (~3") works fine.  It isn't "nice" but it works fine and the inclusion of the protector and stylus is nice.

Pros:
Cheap
Offers good protection
Fits phone well
Includes bonus items (screen protector & stylus)

Cons:
A bit heavy
Cut-out for power cord is tight & might impede dock use

WYSIWYG. What you see is what you get.

This case is minimalism at its finest. It protects the areas in which you do not interact with: back/sides/corners and leaves access to the ones you do: buttons/switch/audio jack/30-pin connector. The 'black absolute' color of this case is perfect as it's matte and discreet, no frills. The case is thin but is slightly rubberized so it provides ample grip (which is a plus, as the iPhone is naturally slippery because of the glass back).

This case is perfect for me as i'd like to use my phone as it came, yet still protect it from minor scratches, falls, etc. No this isn't an Otterbox contender, but it isn't trying to be. The iPhone is an industrial design wonder: sexy, minimalist, yet functional. Why make it uglier than sin with gaudy cases?

And for $13 shipped (Prime member), why not try it out?

p.s. I have only used the case for ~12 hours so I have not experienced this "peeling" I have heard of. If this happens I will definitely update my review.

Much to my device's chagrin I am usually pretty hard on my products and because of this maximum protection is always a top selling point for me. I love the feel of this case in my hands. It feels sturdy and looks stylish. I have dropped my device exactly 3 times on concrete, tile and wood floors and this case has performed flawlessly protecting my phone and my wallet.

Pros:
-Super slim case for the protection offered
-Love the front cover with built in screen protector (no more bubbled from botched screen protector installs)
-Choice of 3 different back plates, a great value! (In the past other cases made you choose only one color for the back cover and charged as much as $10 for each additional back plate)
-Port covers! Yes!! no more dust creeping in those holes and water spills don't give me heart attacks anymore.

Cons:
-Black cover seems to pick up more fingerprints but that's to be expected with a black case
-Port covers sometimes hard to open, maybe people with longer nails won't suffer as much.

Overall I like the protection offered in a slim and neat package. The multiple back plates are the icing on the cake for people that like change up the look of their phone without having to buy additional cases.

This case is as basic as is comes. I would say it provides a certain level of protection when storage your device, but lacks some features to really protect it in extreme circumstances. It has a few features, but not many to get excited about.

It is made by Mead, branded as Five Star, and made in China, for those who care.

The exterior of the product is similar to vinyl -- like what you would usually find in a backpack or other type of bag. The zipper is big, well-designed, and works flawlessly. The zipper pull is big, nearly and inch and a half in length. There is a small loop nearly two inches in length which can be used to attach the bag to another bag or clip -- for example, if you want it to be easily accessible outside of another bag you are carrying. The stitching appears to be triple, making the loop well-secured.

The outside of the case has a small mesh pouch, with a Velcro closure. While it is mesh, you can't see through it, so you could put anything in there, including documents or credit cards. It's not very big, but probably handy to carry a cable or any small accessories you may need for your device.

The outside is clearly branded "Five Star" in white on the black surface.

Inside the case, it's bare-bones. The case is lined with a soft material, which is good for protecting your device's surfaces, especially the screen. So if you often put your device in a bag with other things, but are concerned about damaging the screen, then this is how this case earns its value. But that's it. There's virtually no padding in this case, nothing to cushion your device in the event of a fall, or even if pressure is applied to the outside of the case. The edges aren't reinforced, and there's no additional padding around the edges. So you should have no expectation of protection in the event of a drop.

My HP Stream 7 fits inside this case with plenty of room for it to move around when closed.

If you carry a small tablet often, along with other possessions and want to protect your tablet from scratches and the elements, then this should work for you.

Just to preface this, the case I bought fits for the 2013 model of the Moto X.

I used to buy mainly Otterbox cases for my phones, however, I take relatively good care of my phones so I decided to find a slimmer and cheaper.  This case is perfect for my needs.  The main points I wanted to make sure to hit with this case were:
- A much lower price point than the expensive Otterbox cases.  If I was going to be sacrificing protection, I definitely didn't want to pay more.  The price of this case at the time of my purchase was on the lower end of the nicer cases I found.
- I like my everyday carry items to be as minimalistic as possible and this case helps achieve that goal.  It fits like a glove, following the contour of the phone, and adds very little bulk.
- I wanted to make sure if this was something I was going to be carrying around everyday, it was a good looking case.  I ordered the black color.  It has a matte look with the words 'Bear Motion' written in gray in the bottom center.  It's very hard to describe, however, the best I can think of is that it has almost a smooth, silky, sand-like feel and look to it.  It is probably the best feeling case I have bought.  There's a high likelihood that I may have used the word 'sexy' when describing it to my girlfriend.
- Even though I wasn't look for crazy protection, I still wanted something that would prevent scratches, etc.  It fits around the phone very snugly.  There is exposure for the power/volume buttons and the camera/speaker/microphone with a slight indentation around each.  The case curves around the sides to create the slightest lip that prevents the face from touching any flat surface you might place it on.  The top and bottom curve up to slight lips stopping at the headphone jack and power plugs respectively.  I have had no issues with the case interfering with any headphones or power cord that I have plugged in.  I've dropped it on my desk a few times with no damage to phone or case, however, this is not the case for you if you constantly drop your phone from higher locations.

Hope this review helps in making your decision. If you have any questions on this product or review, please leave a comment and I'll try to comment back as soon as possible.

Super thin and decent protection! No gimmicks, a low profile case that does the job at a price you can't beat.

Upon first receiving this case, I was mildly disappointed.  I guess I expected more; but silly me - at only $9.98, it wasn't going to be leather or fine metals - nor did the description lead me to believe it would be.  My last case purchased from the cell phone company was $39.99 and it's been replaced two times in two years.  After about 1 week of use on the Diztronic, I'm pleasantly surprised.  It offers enough color for me to find the phone in my purse along with the all-important functional protection when I've dropped the phone.  For $9.98, I would say go for it.

Being retired, I wanted something to carry my ACER Chromebook, the charger, small camera and a space for a couple of maps.  This case meets my expectations, without having to spend much money.  It has 3 separate areas.  The center area is for the computer and has adequate padding.  The two sections on either sides are large enough to hold the items mentioned above with room to spare. Although I am completely satisfied with my case, I would not recommend it for anyone traveling a great deal by plane or where they would need a durable, protective case. If your a light traveler, road trips, this may be the case to give serious consideration - well made, comfortable to carry, attractive and available at a very good price.

Great case, exactly as advertised and delivered.  This is the case for just the bare essentials when you don't need to take everything else with you.  I have two cases but this case is used for what it is.  I have another all gear case.  I just wish it wasn't so hard to figure what all to put in each slot but not a major concern.  Really, the right product at a price point which is correct.  Recommended.

Excellent value. Case fits perfectly and features a slim, no-bulk design. While it's not made of luxury materials, it seems well-made and durable.

The order came on time and was exactly as described.  It offers good but minimal protection while allowing the back of the phone to be seen if that is what you are looking for.  I was looking for an inexpensive case to use on my son's phone and it meets my needs very well.  Would purchase again if needed.

The perfect case including extras and all at a reasonable price!

This is one of the best minimalist cases for the iPhone 5. It fits perfectly and there is easy access to all of the buttons and ports. The case provides good scratch protection for the sides and back. The front of the case is even with the touch screen and thus, does not provide protection. However, the high quality screen protector that is provided with the product will protect the display. I like the aesthetics of the case because it does not add any appreciable thickness to the iPhone 5. The screen protector that comes with it is easy to apply--you just have to make sure you apply it in a dust free environment. The case, which includes a screen protector is a very good value considering that the screen protector alone often sells for $14. Highly recommended.
