I read Amazon reviews on this product, and determined that the Alcatel ONETOUCH IDOL 3 would fit my needs perfectly due to the product specifications and price point. I could not be more wrong. I have switched brands of cell phones over the years, varying from Apple, LG, Motorola RAZR, Nokia, and even Cingular phones. Nothing I have used in the last ten years has been as fragile and poorly made as this one. While reaching into my pocket to read a text message I just received, I went to swipe my phone to unlock. However, the glass surface (digitizer) of the phone would not recognize my swipes, and started trying to swipe all on its own. I thought this was bizarre, and upon closer inspection there were some small cracks on the top left corner of the phone. After trying to swipe further, the crack spread all the way from the top left to the center right of the digitizer, effectively making the phone useless. Since this was in my pocket previously, I have no idea how it cracked, since it was working fine and had no issues throughout the day. It is utterly pathetic that this product broke INSIDE my pocket, and their customer service team has been even worse in terms of honoring any warranty or protection from this brittle, cheaply-made phone. I would recommend any other smartphone instead of this one, because it is not acceptable in 2015 to have phones so fragile you must bubble wrap them before storage.

Summary: If you are looking for an unlocked phone, go with another brand, because it will actually work and not break inside your pocket within two months of purchase. Just go here (http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/wireless/2407749011/ref=s9_acsd_ri_bw_clnk?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-5&pf_rd_r=0MPS87YSGRVP9GKHPS5D&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=2153843082&pf_rd_i=2407749011_p0_h) and make sure whatever you do, never, EVER get an Alcatel ONETOUCH Idol 3.

The magnetic closure will damage your phone. By the time I realized the phone had been damaged, I'm no longer able to return this item for a full refund. This is a waste of money. DON'T BUY IT!!

I do NOT suggest buying this, for anything. This mount caused my phone to go tumbling down the road in the middle of my workout. I had this mounted to my road bike, riding a smoothly paved road and just fell completely off. This garbage mount almost cost me $700 for a new phone.

The phone does kind of what it is supposed to, it needs wifi to actually work. Speaker is insanely quiet so I have to answer the phone with headphones. The headphones that came with it were extremely cheap so those broke the first day. The phone was damaged in my back pocket just taking a seat. I have tried to contact these guys twice to get it repaired. I have not received one answer on how to get the phone repaired. I know that any other phone I would be able to take it down the street to the repair store to fix the screen, but what do I do with this one? I took a chance with this brand and it looks like I'm getting burned. Also, I have not found anywhere that sells a better case to protect this phone. The case that was sent broke with the phone, in my pocket, softly sitting down on a soft seat. How can you ensure I keep using a phone if it breaks immediately and I'm screwed. I give 2 stars in hopes that I will get some answer on fixing this problem. If not, I will need to change to 1 star, give my at most worst review, and buy a Samsung or Motorola.

Funny story, actually: I was in physics class and we were doing a pendulum experiment where we put two chairs on two tables about one meter apart then put a steel pipe on both of the chairs that we would tie a pendulum to. I had my iPhone 6s Plus on the table to time the oscillations. The pipe (pretty heavy) slipped off the chair on the table my phone was on and hit the screen dead center with the corner at the end of the pipe. The screen is 100% undamaged and the protector was, obviously, destroyed. I peeled it off and purchased a new one which was no problem considering the low price.

I paid more for this complete assembly with proximity sensor, and home button installed, for a simple swap for my cracked screen. When I powered the phone up to test out the new screen everything worked fine. The phone worked for approximately 2 weeks then neither the earpiece speaker nor the proximity sensor were working during phone calls and the digitizer appeared to be coming unglued.  I would recommend finding a different product. Since the glass screen is coming unglued, it will probably break during the removal. I can not be without a working phone for long so the only option is to oder an additional one, not knowing if I can get a refund if the other one breaks during removal. I also suggest people to go buy electronics from a local vendor, where you can deal with people face to face, because it appears here they will not protect their customers against faulty equipment sold by vendors. I am obviously not the first person to have the same issue with this exact product based on other reviews I see. Shame on me for not reading all the review prior to ordering.

Hubby bought this and I told him not to.  What's the point of having a case that is so thin?  Well, he bought it and dropped his phone.  The phone didn't break but the case broke.  So I guess it's good the phone didn't break but he had to buy another case (the one I told him to buy in the first place) to replace the case that broke.  Not worth it.  He didn't listen to me, but you should.

First day I received it I put the case on and it seemed like it would work well.  It felt sturdy and solid, the magnet seemed strong enough to do the job of keeping the case closed.  No problem, so it seemed.  Then on day 2 I went to work and accidentally dropped the phone.  No problem, right?  That's why you buy a case, in case it gets dropped.  Except the case flipped open, the phone itself fell out of the plastic housing and landed on its screen, breaking it and rendering the phone useless.  Do not buy this case.

I made the mistake of buying this back cover and installing it a week before going on a cruise.  My 2 year old Galaxy S5 was in great condition but the original cover developed a small crack when installing a new battery, so I ordered a replacement.  This phone is always in a 2 piece silicone/hard plastic protective cover.  It was never dropped, banged or otherwise abused after the new covers installation.  Unfortunately a small was splashed my phone on this trip and I was surprised to see that my phone was dead.  Upon closer inspection I found that there were now many cracks and chips around the perimeter of the new cover and saltwater had ruined the phone.  I now see that the Samsung logo was printed askew, I doubt that you would see this on a true OEM item.  The plastic used must be way too brittle, I would in no way suggest ever buying this item. I'll include some pictures of the cover in hoped that it will sway any of those that are still considering buying this piece of crap.

So nice, I bought it twice. Cheap enough that I don't mind buying a new one when it breaks.... And it will break. The paint on the last trim piece that goes on tends to flake. The construction of the plastics is crap. The overall design is lame. The reality is you will get what you pay for. That said, the main black rubber piece that holds it all together will take a pounding. Which is why I bought a second one. It's actually worth the money. I would have had to replace my phone at least 3 times by now if not for this silver piece of crap. Oh, I almost forgot! It has a kickstand! And if you have a pair of pliers handy, you just might get it open to use it.
Bottom line : buy it! Hell, buy a dozen. No one is going to steal your phone with this thing on it and your screen will thank you.

It sucks my phone broke after I dropped from about 1 foot of the ground. It's not waterproof and doesn't do anything it says it does. DO NOT BUY ENLESS YOU WANT TO WASTE YOUR MONEY

I'm not too sure what to write for this review, in short, my phone suffered a fall this morning while in this case and belt clip, and now it's now broken. Screen cracked, and I can't see any display. I can still tap on the screen and here the clicks, but there's no picture. The reason I'm not sure what to write is because no where in the product description, does it mention what kind of drop testing was performed on this case. Then again, I should have know this, it's only a $6.00 case. For the record, phone fell a distance of about 6-foot onto a tiled floor. So, for those of you who are looking at this case, be very leery of the "HEAVY DUTY" claims made on the; my $500 phone is now a $500 paperweight.

I did not contact the manufacturer or vendor prior to this review since there's no point to it. All they would be able to offer is an an apologetic email, and that's about it. This product hos NO guarantee, unlike Ottorbox or BodyGlove.

This item is a piece of crap. It is not tempered glass. It is all plastic. It doesn't stick to the phone. It fell off my phone and cracked. Do not buy this item. It is ever priced and is not worth it. It is a total fraud. I am losing faith in Amazon for allowing someone to sell this misrepresented product on its site. If you bought it return it as soon as possible.

This is not a Samsung item, and therefore when I could not take it off my phone, the local store wouldn't help me get it off.  (that happened later and I came close to damaging the phone).  You cannot open the charging door when this case is on; it makes the phone incredibly bulky and heavy, and trying to take it off cracked the borosilicate facer that I had on the phone to protect the screen.  This product should be pulled. It turned a nice flat phone into a heavy bulky item that I would never want to carry around.  if your phone loses a charge, like mine does, get an external battery instead.
