Before this failure the case worked pretty well.

I purchased this case in April 2016 now in November the case has broken and is not usable.  The failure is not at the point it swivels but the plastic on either side of the metal center piece.  As you can see the plastic split out on each side.  Once this happens the case cannot hold the I pad up and more.  So the case can only lay flat of fold up.  The keyboard still works but the case will not hold the iPad up.  Before this failure the case worked pretty well.

worked well until treated roughly, then case cracked at corner and little emblem fell out. protects screen and not too thick

the case worked for about 2 month before the clip failed. the case broke after 5.
this is a good SHORT TERM SOLUTION. not a long term one. in fairness.... I am hard on my devises.

My case has been great, but I'd say I'm clumsier than most, and have dropped it one too many times.  It no longer works, but it was fantastic when it did.  For reference, I had the case a little less than 1 year.

Outter band did not hold up well, but overall was a good case.

Lasted for 3 months before cracking on 3 out of 4 corners after a drop on a tennis court. Good case if you are careful.

The case looks nice and did reasonably well for a while, but the thin plastic around the vibrate switch broke after a little while (just from normal use, i.e. no drops or roughness). I wish it wouldn't have broken or could be easily repaired.

Worked for approximately 10 operations before physically failing.

I ordered this case to provide a decent level of protection for my Nokia Lumia 810.  When it arrived it felt like it was a well built case with a plastic 2 part interior and a rubber outer.  Well looks can be deceiving.  I had the phone in the case for less than 2 months and expected that it should give some sort of protection.

I was wrong.  It experienced a fall from less than 3 feet and the case failed allowing the screen on my 810 to shatter.

The upside to this case is the kickstand and the grip on the outer skin.

Well recommended for those who do not experience gravity.

I was a little hesitant to buy this, but since it got pretty good ratings overall, we decided to give it a try.  Keeping in mind the warnings on other reviews to double-wrap the line to help with sagging, we found that it worked quite well.  Then one day the case started splitting in half and one side went spiraling wildly as the spring inside unwound.  Fortunately it didn't hurt anyone, including my dogs, but I think it could have if anyone of us had been in the wrong place right then.

My husband got the spring rewound and we applied liberal amounts of epoxy to rejoin the casing.  We let it dry for several days to make sure it was good and solid.  Well...that didn't work.  First time using it again - with towels and a nice breeze, it popped apart again.  I think we're just going to have to chuck it - and we've had it for less than 6 months!

I'm rating it a 2 because it does work well - when it works and if you don't hang anything too heavy on it, it might hold up.  For us, it is now on its way to the landfill.

I like it because the price was low. I think it's a good case, but for me, the little latches on the main port door broke, and the ringer/vibrator knob fell out.

So the waterproofness is now questionable since two of the ports broke! Otherwise, it's a good/average case.

If using the regular speakers to listen to music, it sounds good (waaay better than Lifeproof), but still helps to leave the door open.

I found this case to be sturdy, served its purpose until it discolored over time and a fairly short period of time (6 months).

This was a great case when I first got it, but the belt clip quickly lost its "spring" resiliency and became useless. I've since resorted to using the sewn-on belt loops (which are a very nice touch) instead, but the clip was much more convenient. The case itself fits my iPhone 6 with a somewhat bulky case on it well (not quite as big as an Otterbox or similar). When I had a smaller phone case on the phone it was definitely loose in the belt case, but still worked fine.

This case is attractive and appears to be ruggedly built to protect the iPhone 6 against accidental bumps and drops.

I had a concern about the how securely my phone was held in place in the belt holster. I was very pleased that this company promptly contacted me and provided a suitable replacement. They do listen to their customers. They've got my recommendation!

This is a followup, almost a year after writing my original review, above. Although this case and holster hold my phone very securely (perhaps even a bit too securely), after all of these months of use, I found a weak point in its otherwise sturdy construction: the metal spring device that keeps the holster secure to a belt suddenly failed, leaving no spring action to safely clip the holster to my belt. It happened as I was attaching the clip to my belt, so my phone did not drop.

I don't know what the expected lifespan of these devices is supposed to be. But, as the case itself surrounding my iPhone has saved it from any apparent damage after a couple of 3' or 4' drops to hard floors, and it is inexpensive, I simply just bought another. Hopefully the metal spring in the holster will work better.

But, Buddibox does not get off scot-free on this. Because of the spring failure, I have to reduce this from a five-star to four-star rating...actually three-and-one-half stars would be more accurate.

At the beginning, it worked pretty well. After a few uses, it is broken.

At this point, I have had this case since about January. It's now been through a lot (I've dropped my computer several times) and it's time to replace it. Despite the cracks, up until this point it has been a wonderful case and I am happy to order another one from this company.

A good case. The first one lasted about ten months with daily use.
