My mom is new to smart phones, her old one was a flip phone ...

After shattering my phone last month and not having the money to replace it, I talked my mom into joining phone plans with me so we could both get new LG K7's. The first order of business was finding cases for both phones because we are sooo prone to obliterating ours. My mom is new to smart phones, her old one was a flip phone from 2000. No lie. I chose this for her and it was the perfect choice.

The two piece shell fits like a glove. It is nice and pliable, not hard at all. While it isn't hard, it is absolutely fantastic in the event of drops. It provides unbelievable cushion and absorbs the shock. All port hols line up and you can charge your phone with the case on. There are some dots on the piece that covers your screen and sometimes in direct sun it makes it a tad difficult to see your screen. We've found that a slight tilt makes it all better. I am certain those dots serve some function.  All in all, well worth it. And a great price for the security this offers.

I did receive this product for a discount in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

My 81-year-old mother wanted this because the buttons on the face of the phone were bigger than average and illuminated.  Also, the answering machine controls are very simple to use.  Each button only has one function which makes playback, fast forward and erase much less confusing to accomplish than her previous phone (and ours too, for that matter).  When mine dies I'm going to buy this model to replace it.

Bought phone for my 84 year old mother who is both visual and hearing impaired (and technologically impaired). She learned basic operations quickly and loves the bright lights that flash when there is a message or in-coming call. The amplification booster feature is "too loud" and that is the first time I've heard her say something was too loud in a long time!

Bought this phone for my mother and she ended up loving it. By like the usual common problem everyone is having she got the charging problem. I've tried a different charger and it still didn't charge. My mom was very disappointed and sad. I bought pure BLU phones for my entire family because I have used their products before and loved them. My mother used her phone the most and loved it cause of the speed which helps deal with all her customers but sucks that it hers broke. If you can get over the possibility that it could end up not charging no more, it's a good phone.

My old smart phone was freezing and acting up, concerning that it is over 5 years old. I got this one because my wife has the same one. I used hers for a few days. The size is right for me, I don't want a big screen. Its easy to work, and does every thing well. I don't have a data plan, I just use WiFi at home. The key board works well for me, the buttons are easy to use. I am not "that into technology" but the facts are that in life technology goes forward and fast. This may not be the best smart phone for most out there, but considering I was using a Motorola Blur, this is great. I was using a plain flip phone when my wife gave me her old Motorola, and said move into the 21st century. This captive glide is easy to use, thin, and not to big for me. I'm the type of guy that would rather have a car that runs on leaded gas, has no computer or catalytic converter on it. Those days are gone. I will admit that I do enjoy using it, and not only as a phone.......

I gave this as a gift to a friend that had, finally, moved from a flip phone into the 21st century. She loves it!

I bought this phone for my mom cause of her sight she can now dial the phone without waiting for me to get home from work to dial a number for her. My mom and I are very happy with this phone. The big buttons are easy to see and the price was fair. I would recommend this phone to anyone who have issues seeing.

I like to have lots of spare parts, batteries and chargers for my beloved A437 Samsung flip phone.  I am an older woman and not tech savvy, so I have this phone figured out and I want a phone to be a phone, not an internet connection.  Keep the parts coming; I have no plans of changing phones.

I bought this item for my mom, and she loves the speakerphone capability...she tends to not hear correctly while holding a phone, but now all she does is hit the speakerphone and she feels better about talking to people on the phone, since she can clearly hear every word via speakerphone..

Recently bought this phone for my 93 year old mother, who was beginning to forget how to use her cordless phone.  With this phone, she only has to pick up the receiver, not press a button to allow dialogue.  The number buttons are large, and the caller ID screen is easy to read.  The price was a good bargain

Having spent years trying to resist giving up my "dumb" phone and getting into the 21st century my family finally talked me into getting a smart phone. After looking over the different kind of smart phones Verizon had in their store I went with the Samsung Galaxy Core Prime. This is I think the best kind of smart phone to get for someone who is new to using one. It is not that complicated to use. Yeah there is still a lot for me to learn but if someone like me who is technologically challenged can learn this phone anyone can. Thin and light weight it is easy to handle whether surfing the web or occasionally actually using your cell phone to make a phone call. Good size screen with sharp graphics and for those who would find this important takes good pictures too. All in all if you have never used one before but are in the market to get a smart phone this would make a great introductory phone to get.

My Wife loved her old flip phone, but it finally died. I talked her into this phone as it works with her prepaid account on T-Mobile, and she can use Wi-Fi for data, She really likes it, it is easy to use and just works. She tried an android phone a while back and did not like it. Nokia generally makes good phones.

Note that it takes the newer micro SIM chip. You may need to buy one like we did. Activation was easy, however, a 5 minute call to T-Mobile support and we were done.

The phone also has 8 GB of memory and there is no slot to add more. This is not a problem for her, she has not even used half the memory with several apps/games, some pictures, and some music.
