Great case with limited complaints

Overall, I like the look of this case and it's weight.  It isn't too light or too bulky/heavy.  It is a good fit for people with smaller hands.  The grips on on the sides are very helpful in aiding from unwanted dropping of the phone.  It has a sleek look to it, even with the rubber grips.  The color was exactly as pictured.  The one downfall is the wear and tear on the back.  The G4 has a curved body, so naturally the case does also.  Where the curved points meet a surface, the color has worn off and left and unsightly white scratched look.  My friend has the same case for her IPhone, and it does not have this issue.  So I would say it it limited to phones with a curved body.  However, despite a worn appearance, after a short usage, it has served it's purpose and done a great job at protecting my phone.  Definitely worth the purchase.

This is a high quality case that fits very well.  The plastic is hard enough to be protective, but unlike some other cases, it has a slightly softened, supple feel to it, which is nice.  The kickstand works well, although it feels slightly flimsy so I am worried that extensive use may wear on it and cause it to degrade (but it hasn't in the first month).

The only negative aspect I've encountered is that the kickstand/belt mount is very thick, which I expected, but while the kickstand/clip can be removed very easily, it leaves an attachment bolt protruding from the back of the case.  This can also be removed (and replaced with a flat surface) but to do so requires removing the case from the phone, which takes longer than I'd like to do on a routine basis (and of course it's possible for you to lose the small pieces).

Very nice case, for the price.  It fits very snugly and is very thin, so the phone doesn't seem much bigger.

Biggest plus: The tiny dimples on both sides gives a good grip and it feels very secure in your hand.  My previous phones didn't have this feature and now I will not want a case without this.

Biggest minus: Some folks have complained about the on/off and volume buttons being covered.  I don't have any problem PRESSING the buttons, but I do have trouble FINDING the buttons to press, especially the volume buttons when I'm in a rush trying to lower the volume when something loud comes on.  Perhaps I'll learn over time, but I'd like them to be raised a little more.

This is a very durable case. I bought it without having ever touched one in person, so took a bit of a gamble in terms of feel/texture.  Have been using it for about a month, I'm happy with it overall, and have a few observations. The cross-hatch design definitely does help keep a grip on the phone, and the very subtly textured flat areas helps with grip as well. It's not hard and glossy; the plastic has a slightly satiny texture to it, which I like. However, I would've liked the plastic to be a tad more soft/tacky/grippy than it is, so that it would be less inclined to slide across a dashboard in a moving car, or slip out of a pocket when doing cartwheels, for example. But I understand that such a grippy plastic would present other issues such as difficulty extracting the phone from a tight pocket. I guess you can't have it both ways, so I think this case is a pretty good happy medium insofar as grip. The one detail that I flat out dislike, though, is the small half-inch notch cut in the top center front of the case immediately above the ear speaker (it's hard to see in most pictures). The problem is that the edge of that notch feels sharp, for lack of a better word, against the ear. It's not actually sharp (it won't cut you) but the edge of that notch feels a little sharp and uncomfortable if pressed against the ear during a call. Sort of like the edge of a plastic knife; it won't hurt you, but it becomes annoying if pressed against your skin for a length of time.  It's odd, because every other surface of the case is nicely rounded and contoured, with the except of this half-inch notch. It annoyed me enough times that I eventually took a metal nail file to it, in an attempt to round over that edge a bit, but the file was completely ineffective against the tough plastic. So, I then tried a very small metal carpenter's file to it, and with a few minutes work, managed to round over the edge just the slightest bit, just enough to notice a slight improvement in comfort against the ear. However, I'm still not perfectly satisfied with that edge, it's still a little sharp feeling against the ear after a while, so I may try using a small rotary tool with grinding stone against that edge and see if I can round it over some more.  It's remarkable how resistant to filing/abrasion the case plastic is, it's super tough. I hope it's as protective against drops as it is protective against metal files. All in all, I like this case in terms of grip and fit, and if I can manage to round over that little edge a bit more, I'll  like this case a lot.

Great looking case with good protective features where it counts

Excellent case with a few drawbacks.

I think it would provide decent protection to the phone if dropped.
The two pieces fit together like a glove.
I do like how the camera is recessed within the case.  A lot of cases with the open style camera cutout have the camera close to the edge of the case.  This case really protects the camera lens
It does add a little bulk to the phone, but not much weight.  However, I felt it a little slick to the grasp.
Button Placement and feel when pushing in were good and responsive.

Drawbacks to the case.
1.  Doesn't completely wrap the phone, there is a slim portion of the aluminum phone's housing that is visible all away around the edge
2.  The top portion of the case that covers the face near the headphone jack is very flimsy.  I can see it becoming deformed after a short time after being pulled and pushed into a pocket.
3.  Lastly and the biggest reason for my return, the charging port cutout is too small.  I couldn't fit the stock charging plug into the phone without bulging the case, definitely not good!
4.  I have a glass screen protector and there isn't much protection to the screen when placing face down.  Not much around the edge to protect the screen.

I really wanted to like the case, but I'm sticking with Spigen, sorry Evocel.  Better quality control would have made this case a keeper.

First I will point out the good points and then my 2 gripes. This case is super simple and super clean. It has a very nice soft, rubber coating which makes it nice to touch. It is super slim and the application is easy. It comes in two pieces for top and bottom and you just snap them on very easily. The case seems sturdy enough that if you drop your laptop, it will take the impact instead of your precious laptop. It is not easily scratched. I tried to scratch it with my nail on the bottom part for a test and no mark appeared. I haven't had any problems with oily finger prints, which sometimes happens with soft-touch coatings. When open, the Apple logo shines through. When closed, you can slightly, visibly see the Apple logo at abut 90% opacity. Case has vents on bottom so it does not overheat which you might think would happen with a laptop case. So far, it seems to be functioning.

The gripes: This case fits about 98% accurately. The top piece fits precisely but the bottom piece left side is just a bit more loose than the right but not noticeable and does not affect the functionality of the case. It won't fall off or anything like that. The right side of the bottom piece fits slightly tighter, therefore slightly higher and is about 1 mm or less raised from the edge of the laptop where your wrists rest. This makes kind of an awkward edge when typing laying down on your bed. Otherwise fine. But this probably varies by each product production, due to the price. Each one might fit different.

Not completely as advertised in picture: The Apple logo does show through, yes, but not as sharp as the picture portrays. It more glows in the Apple shape and fuzzily around the Apple logo edges. The picture makes it look like it is cut out for the logo, but it is not but still looks nice. These two gripes are why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.

Overall, I like this case a lot.

I'm going to start with my only complaint: The port cutouts are really small. You definitely need a slim headphone jack, and your charging cable had better not be fatter than the stock cable.  Also, the covers can be a little difficult to open if you have freshly clipped nails.

Other than that one complaint, this case has been great.  The included template is very easy to use, and allows easy customization of the aesthetics of the case.  The fit and finish are fantastic, and it looks much better than the easily smudged glass back.  The buttons haven't been dampen excessively, and it does the job it needs to of mild drop protection, and lifting the face and rear of the phone off surfaces, while staying as slim as possible.  And though they get in the way at times, the covers do an excellent job of keeping foreign material out of the ports. You can't have the best of both worlds, it seems.

One more thing to note: there what appears to be small feet on the back, near each of the 4 corners (they call them rear guards).  If you place the phone on a table, the feet raise the phone ever so slightly.  Whilst it's a good thing for use on a flat surface, the guards will sometimes catch on the seam of pockets.  My wife has dropped her phone a couple times because of this, but the case has protected the phone so far, so it's a wash.

Aside on rainbow affect: I can't comment on this, as my wife uses this case, and we inserted a piece of origami paper (cut using the included template) into the back of the case.

I bought this case because of the integrated screen and body protection.  It fits the newest (October 2013) version of the Kindle Fire HD 7" very well.  The stand works great although the Kindle is only resting in it so it could be a little precarious if you're not careful especially in the portrait orientation.  I haven't had a problem differentiating between the buttons and plugs even though they aren't labeled: the power plug is on the same side as the power button, and the headphone jack is on the same side as the volume buttons (since there are two side by side you can feel the difference from the power button).  The directions for taking it apart worked for me (although I have prior experience using an OtterBox for an iPhone), but it was pretty hard to get the silicone outer part off due to the tight fit (which I appreciate now that it's on) with the plastic part of the case.

  The only drawbacks I've experienced after using it for 3 days are:
1) The screen was a little dusty when it arrived (it was only shipped inside a folded piece of cardboard) so I had to clean it first.
2) The flap for the headphone jack and the power/data transfer cord are a little stiff and so I'm using a rubber band and electrical tape to bend back the power flap for the first couple of times I charge the Kindle so that the flap does not put pressure on the power cord.  I had a problem previously with the usb port of an external hard drive getting loose due to pressure on the cord from a case.

Overall a great case.

Pros:
* easy to install, only took a minute
* seems pretty rugged, thankfully the phone did not endure any falls during it's use
* didn't add too much weight or size to the phone

Cons:
* As some other reviews have mentioned, not all charging cables play well.  We had some issues getting the phone to charge, without putting some work into it.
* There was also noticeable movement from the built in screen protector, ideally it would have sat more flush to the phone.

Overall, the case was nice, but since charging was such a chore we ended up switching it out for our old case.  Maybe if we had a little more patience we would have been able to work through it ;)

Wonderful case for the price. I like it a lot more than the otterbox I own.

PROS:
Easy to install
Nice built in screen protector
Has a very stylish design
Functions like the camera & fingerprint scanner work well
The color plates allow a degree of personalization
Speakers and microphones are not muffled
Access ports are well protected
I prefer the plastic finish

CONS:
Dust and lint get under the screen around the home button
The charging port is difficult to open & needs to be wider

Good case but a couple of minor squabbles:  Edges are starting to yellow already; headphone jack hole is a little too small

I really like this case so far!  Both my wife and I got this case - I have the Space Gray model and she has the Gold, and I included pictures so you can see how the case looks on both models.  We both wanted a case with a clear/transparent back to show the iPhones' colors; we also wanted a slim design that offered good drop/scuff protection.  While the back is not completely clear/transparent (see pictures) and the edges are white, it seemed much more substantial than other clear cases we looked at, while not adding much bulk.  Other clear cases may have been slightly more slim and less expensive, but from experience, you get what you pay for; also, it seemed that all the other clear cases had a 2-piece construction with a TPU bumper and a hard polycarbonate back - the Tech21 case is all one piece (it's a smooth TPU-like material, not silicone which is super rubbery and picks up all sorts of lint) so I'm not worried about one piece separating from another.  The case provides nice grip - it's not slippery but at the same time slides in and out of pockets easily.

The case was very easy to get on -- the phone literally just slid into it, it almost seemed too easy, but the phone is in there securely and isn't going to fall out.  I also have a Halo HD clear invisible screen protector on the phone and the case does not interfere with it at all (I would imagine this would be true with all screen protectors of this type, the dry application plastic films).  The case has a thin bezel that doesn't obscure the face of the iPhone, but it's raised to protect the screen in case it lands face down on a hard flat surface.  The bumper that covers the sides and corners is thick but doesn't make the phone feel enormous - by comparison, the less expensive cases seemed flimsy, so the added thickness was an acceptable trade-off for me, especially since the case is still quite slim.  All the ports/openings line up perfectly; the case has power and volume buttons that cover the phone's power and volume buttons and are easy to press.

I was going to give the case 4 stars because I thought the bezel/lip might not have been high enough to protect the screen from scratches if it landed face down after a drop, but I'm giving it a 5 because I've already dropped the phone onto concrete/pavement and the phone is completely unharmed (even the case is barely scuffed).  The phone fell out of my backpack after I picked up my backpack the wrong way, and the phone landed squarely on one of the corners (I'd say it fell a foot or two so not a huge drop, but still...).  It barely made a sound when it hit the ground.

UPDATE:  Good news, bad news.  The bad news is that after less than 2 months of use, the case became discolored.  The white color became bluish-green at the corners and yellowish along the sides.  The good news is that after contacting Tech21 through their website and explaining the problem, they sent me a new case since it was under warranty (I went for the smoke/black color this time around).  The process was smooth and painless, and I got the replacement case in a reasonable amount of time (7-10 business days).  I was going to leave my review at 5 stars because the case is still well-designed and offers great protection (I've now fumbled the phone out of my pocket several times and it has been perfectly protected), and because of the excellent customer service, but since I'm reviewing the white/clear model, I feel like I have to drop it one star because of the discoloration.  I still think it's a great case, I just wouldn't get it in the clear/white color.

This is a solidly built and attractive case with a few small drawbacks:

-- As others have mentioned, the side buttons are much more sensitive. It really is an annoyance. I'm often interrupted from tasks by the volume suddenly sliding up or down or the "phone options" screen (via the power button) popping up over what I'm working on.

-- On the other hand, I feel the screen has slightly decreased in sensitivity under the screen protector portion of the case.

-- Because the case is so difficult to pry apart, I've been concerned that the phone would go flying out when I was trying to remove it, so I also added a Zagg Glass screen protector to the phone screen. This has not helped the issue with the (very minor) decrease in screen sensitivity.

-- If you have smaller hands as I do as a petite female, even the bit of bulk added by this case makes it harder to handle the phone. It feels like a sizable change to me!

-- The case, while attractive (I particularly like the muted gold), is much more slippery than the admittedly unattractive (I think it looks like a bandaid) back of the Galaxy S5. The phone may have more protection now when I drop it, but this case has made dropping it all the more inevitable.

However, I haven't dropped it yet. And I'm not going to deliberately do so just to provide feedback to you fine folks. I promise it will happen soon, though. If necessary I'll update my review. (If I don't update this review, you'll know my phone survived the inevitable drops.)

All of that having been said -- while I prefer my phone without a case, I want the protection. And since I therefore find a case necessary, I am overall impressed with this one. It is relatively attractive and appears to provide excellent protection. I haven't had the issues with opening the charging or headphones ports that other have mentioned, though it helps that I have slightly longer nails than most men wear.

If you want solid protection, I would recommend this case at this point. I may buy a slimmer, more "rubber-feeling" case for everyday and keep this one for days I need more protection for the phone, such as outdoor outings.

I love this case overall, it fits the look I want "dieselpunk" or "raygun gothic", but there are some minor issues like where it says "buttion" instead of "button", "ringger" instead of "ringer" & "autio" instead of "audio", but those are barely noticeable to a casual glance.

A larger issue with this model was the silver reflective surface and taking pictures with the flash reflecting back into the lens and I solved that by removing the cover and running a sharpie along the inside edge carefully.

And I see a lot of people saying their signal dropped with this case, have not had that problem at all but I try not to touch the exposed frame of the phone.

Overall I am very pleased with this case. It fits my 4th generation iPad (Retina Display with faster processor) like a glove, without adding much bulk, and offers good protection and grip. The cover fits over the screen nicely, and the auto wake-up/sleep function when you open or close the cover works great. The folding cover also works nicely as a stand, both to give it a slight angle when placed in landscape mode in front of you on a table (great for typing, taking notes, etc) or to support it when it stands vertically in portrait, although this is a bit unstable. The angle in landscape works well for me, but it won't prop it up as tall as some other cases that can go 45 degrees or more, which may or may not be an issue for you.

The one negative that keeps this from getting a full 4 stars is that the way the cover folds back, the inside of the cover that faces the screen when closed is what touches the surface the tablet is resting on when open. It does a reasonable job of pulling little bits of dust or lint off the screen when it rubs across it to open, but then it does the same thing for the surface you are resting it on. This means I am constantly wiping off the inside of the cover to get any grit it has picked up while I used the iPad before closing it back up.

Aside from that one issue, this is a great case for the iPad.

The fit isn't perfect, but it's good enough. And because the fit isn't perfect, sometimes the magnets to wake/sleep the Nook don't line up correctly and it doesn't lock when you close it, which can lead to a substantial amount of battery loss if you don't have auto-lock on. The little flap to close it also doesn't line up parallel to the case half the time, but it's not a major issue. Ports are lined up correctly, however, which was my main concern with this case. Color is also accurate, unlike other cases on Amazon. Overall, I'm loving the case and I am happy with my purchase.
