Case great, two hands required to release phone
357068
Case is great for protection but phone doesn't release easily. Phone should come out a little easier not slip out and break, but not require two hands for release, either.

i bought the case as a present for a relative who is an avid rider.  he uses the case every day, and he loves it!  with two caveats:

1) it's not super easy to take the phone in and out of the case.  it's definitely possible, but it takes around a minute, maybe.

2) the back of the case is a bit flimsy, and the tansparent cover is cloudy.  in fact, he uses the case without the front cover.

Nice case, great protection for the phone. The only issue I have with it is the difficulty getting the side buttons to line up properly with the phone buttons when reinstalling the case. The silicone power button is especially difficult to line up with outter hard case and not have it shut the phone off. I leave my case on at all times so no biggie.

THE CASE HOLDS THE PHONE AND IT EASILY SLIDES OUT INTO ONE'S HAND.  THE ONLY DOWNSIDE IS THAT ONCE THE PHONE IS REMOVED FROM THE CASE, THERE IS NO PROTECTION IF IT IS DROPPED.

Works great, but takes two hands to get phone in or out, and hard to not touch screen while doing it. iPhone 6 and 6+ fit.

Great case! I really do love it...only gripe is that you can't fold the front cover all the way back and take pictures...so you're stuck in this awkward 2 handed stance holding the flap open with one hand and trying to take the picture with the other.

This would be the perfect case for my Palm - if one small design flaw didn't make it worthless. It has an opening for all the ports, including a little window for the camera that opens and closes. Problem is when you open it, you can't hold it with your left hand. I had to return mine. If they come out with a version for right handed people, I'd get it in a second.
As it is, I can only recommend this product for left handed people.

I've had this phone case for quite a couple months now and I'm pretty sure if I didn't, my phone would have been shattered long ago. I'm always dropping my phone and this really does the trick. I only have one issues which isn't that big of a deal to be honest, just a little annoying but may be a bigger issue if you have larger hands. So I have pretty small fingers but when I try to reach the "p" key when I'm using my phone in portrait, its a bit hard to get to it. I'm assuming it's due to the phone case having a bit of a high edge. Like I said, doesn't bother me but if you have bigger fingers I'm not sure how it would affect you. Also, the fit its super great on my phone

Good case great protection, just super hard to get your phone in and out of.  (That's not a bad thing) except when you have a second battery.

This does a great job holding my iPhone 5 (which is encased in a plastic shell), but it's always a 2-handed operation to insert and remove the phone, so I have to plan ahead when I'm parked and still have both hands free. Also, I have to be careful to always shift the phone down far enough so that the upper-left grip does not block access to the volume buttons.

I love this case, it's exactly what I was looking for, but it is very hard to get off once you put it on the phone (it is made of two separate pieces, a front and a back, that snap together). It took me about 5 minutes to pry the thing off with a butter knife inserted into one of the openings while my husband held it in place. Probably could have done it quicker, but I was afraid of pulling the two pieces apart too far and snapping or breaking them (they flexed rather than disconnected as I tried to pull them apart). Make sure you activate the phone and put in the SIM card and MicroSD (if you want one) BEFORE you put the case on.

I appreciate the simplicity and effectiveness of the design.

While I don't agree with the claim for "one-handed" operation, I think the tightness of the spring grips means a more secure hold on the phone.

Having only two grippers on the side and no top or bottom grip/ledge means that there will typically be no obstructed ports for power, ear-phones or whatever.

This has the potential risk of your phone popping out upon a severe impact, but I'm OK with that.

I would reverse the threading on the ball-joint socket knob, so that it's easier to adjust while facing the user.

This case is great. It fits like a glove, finish is awesome, and generally everything is perfect. BUT. It is rather difficult to remove. I have yet to succeed in removing the primary layer, as I don't want to crush my phone to death in the process. Once I figure it out, I'm sure I'll be happy with it, but for now, 4 stars.

Update: Still keeping the 4 stars. I eventually got the case off (had to pry the sides off the phone), and filed down the little latch mechanism it uses. Good ever since. Only other issue is that the bottom-right microphone is partially covered by the silicon middle cover. Augered that out a bit with a file, and it's fine now. Shouldn't have to do that on a case at this price point.

I really like this case. The bottom comes off so I can change out the battery and not have to remove the whole dang thing. It fits nice and snug which is part of the reason why I dinged a star. It is hard to take off the case. The first time I tried to remove it I pulled a little too hard on the battery compartment. I didn't damage it but with extended pulling on it I think it would be bad for the phone plus you could probably go blind or something (bad joke). Anyway, another reviewer gave the suggestion to put head phones into the jack at the top and push to move the phone out of the case. This works well. Overall I would say 4.5 stars on the case.

The product came exactly when and how described.  The inside layer, of formed rubber, fits the phone like a glove and still allows ready access to all of the controls.  The outer layer and belt clip are very solid and protect the phone perfectly, but it is quite difficult to remove the phone quickly.  The rubber inside layer binds agains the outer protector requiring two hands  and a lot of pulling to remove the phone.  I've actually missed calls because I couldn't extract the phone in time.  The belt clip is great; it stays securely fastened and can be removed with ease.  Overall a secure design, but I may look for another device with a quicker release for the phone.

Solid protective case. I had to replace though,  too hard to press side buttons. Usually ended up holding phone two handed to adjust volume etc.

This is a great case where it's fit and protection defies the low price paid for it as other reviewers have stated. The purpose of my review is to provide a remedy for a functionality glitch that I have experienced that you may experience as well. And that is, the volume and power buttons on opposite sides of the case are very prone to accidentally presses. I too often did so and became quite frustrated by it to the point of almost buying another case.

But I decided to remove the nub or protuberance of both buttons using a single edge razor blade and cutting the nubs off so the area of the  buttons was no higher that the sides of the case. That eliminated the majority of my accidental volume and power button presses. Even with the nubs removed, my finger memory reminds me where the buttons are so I don't have to guess.

1-28-13 Update:

I decided to go one step further to remove the case material COMPLETELY around the volume and power buttons so what I now see are the metal buttons fully exposed in clear view with some added clearance around them. I must say THANKFULLY that has eliminated virtually 100% of the accidental button presses that I was making before. The Note 2 is still well protected all around with some minor exposure where the buttons are, but that's a tradeoff I for one definitely prefer by far.

So if you have the same problem, you might want to try what I did and I think you will have the same success.

Note: I would have rated this case 4 or maybe even 5 stars if it weren't for this annoying glitch that thankfully was correctable.
