Bought for my preteen daughters phone, the kick stand was nice, but broke after 6 months of abuse.

It worked great while it lasted. Sound was great, held the phone very snuggly, and the USB ports worked well. It broke after 6 months. The flex tube snapped off the holder part.

Bought this for my daughters college photography class and it worked fine for 6 months of use then started to break. Legs are not very stable when full extended. The quick release holds well but is hard to remove and the arm that you use to move the camera up and down have lost it's hold. So the camera is not steady and holds a risk of banging against the pole. Also one leg broke a few days ago when she was setting up for some night shots outside. All in all, it was a good tripod for the first 6 months but for long time use, I would suggest getting a better quality one.

This is a well-fitting case, it looks lovely and it's durable for every day use. However, mine lasted about 6 months before the clips that hold it on the phone broke. 6 months is a decent amount of time, so I'm not terribly unhappy, but I would have preferred at least a year of use before it needed replacing.

I think the clips won't break if you never take the case off your phone, but I have needed to take the battery out of my phone, and needed to take the case off once for cleaning when a liquid was spilled on the face of the phone--not unusual circumstances, and my phone was unharmed.

I DO wonder now (after reading another review) if the small scratches on the edges of the phone were caused by the case, and if they can be avoided with some other case, or if that's just something that happens over time.

Overall it is a good case, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

The protection this case offers is fantastic.  We bought it after an unfortunate incident where tablet met tile floor and we had to buy a new Surface for my wife.  But after only 8 months, the kickstand hinge broke on one side making it useless.  So if you want this case to use without the keyboard, it's great, but if you use the kickstand and keyboard, find something with better engineering in the hinge.

I bought my first 310 keyboard about 18 months ago, and it worked great until one of the two feet on the bottom that snap up to raise the rear of the keyboard broke off. So I ordered one of the same keyboard. One of the little feet broke off 32 days after I got it, so just beyond the return deadline. Those little feet are the Achille's heel of this otherwise pretty nice keyboard.

The case may be shock resistant, but it has one weak link - kickback stand.  Broke after few months of use.

This is the fourth case I have bought for my VirginMobile Awe N800. I buy this type due to the 'kickstand'. I love that feature, but as with the first 3 that I bought, the stand breaks in time. This one only lasted 6 days! I was being very careful with opening the stand knowing the history of how easy they break. It seems there are at least 3 different styles, but all very similar in make/quality (probably from different manufacturers) of this case for this phone which I believe I have purchased the 3 different ones, and that have all easily broke.

This particular case does work good for all of the buttons but the stand broke within 6 days.

This kick stand was good for a few days but after leaving it sitting a couple days with bikes weight the kick stand adjustable clip bent and now its a pain to even adjust it up and down

Good construction and kick stand could be handy if it were stronger. Kickstand feels like it will snap soon, it is not really strong enough to hold the.weight of the phone vertically.

GREAT case, but it should have a kick stand.

I give this item 5stars for protection.  the kick stand is not that sturdy

Broke after 6 months.  Nope. Would've gotten something smaller had I known that.

This one is fine. One of the springs on the stands broke after a couple months, but it happened while I was fending off a murder or very aggressive corvids, so the product itself cannot be blamed. In retrospect, I should have bought one of the stands that is elevated, with space below the computer for keyboards, other paraphernalia, and ornithology books.

I like these, however on this one the kick stand breaks on it to easily with just a little bit of pressure.

OK I used it once and the kick stand broken and it's horrible that I only used it once and a professional put it together...horrible.....

Loved the kick stand part! Worked great for a few months but I tried to put more than just a license and 2 credit cards, and it cracked on the side skinny piece. From there, every time I dropped it more cracks/breakage in the case. This happened with my last card holder so I expected as much. Worth what you pay
