Provides decent protection but has a design issue
582682
I bought this case in early December for my new phone. The hardshell case fits snugly and the front edge extends beyond the edge of the screen. It adds probably as little additional bulk to the phone than you're going to find and provide adequate protection. I've dropped the phone several times from moderate heights on various surfaces and the phone survived unscathed.

That said, there is one major design flaw. The cutout on the top of the case for the headphone jack is not large enough to accommodate almost every plug I've tried. To get a good connection, I have to pull the top of the case off to expose the jack. That's bad enough, but after doing this perhaps 4 times, the case has now started to crack from the side of the rear speaker cutout to the outside edge of the case. Major fail. Unless they've modified the cutout since I bought this case in December, I'd advise against getting this case.

I bought this case for my parent's iPad 2. The case provides good protection and access to all the ports and buttons. However one MAJOR gripe that I have with this case is that the top left corner (in landscape mode) comes off the iPad every time I try to recline the iPad using the two grooves in the bottom of the case. I have tried removing the iPad and refitting it a number of times but still have the same issue. My parents are using the case for now but I am thoroughly disappointed with it since there is a risk that the iPad may fall from the case as it does not remain seated in it.

This is a nice sturdy case that protects well against drops.  I feel the built in screen protector could have been left off.  It doesn't seal directly to the phone screen & I take the case off frequently to wipe off lint & moisture from under the screen protector.  The portion of the case that covers the case protects well but it makes it difficult to use features of the phone that are close to the edges such as the pull down quick connect menu.  I will continue to use but am considering purchasing another case because of the menu access issues.

This is an OK armband case.  But there are a few key design issues.

The first is that this is so tight that installing and removing your phone is a hassle.  Maybe there's no way around that but the second design problem ensures that you will have to remove your phone from time to time.  The second flaw, namely, is that there is no design allowance for any of the side buttons or controls.  Those buttons are really critical for me.  It's enough of a problem that I have to remove my phone from this case too often.  That discourages me from using this case to begin with.

The band on this case is also rather short, making it very difficult if not impossible for most normal sized men to wrap it on a bicep.  If you plan to put this right below the elbow it's more than large enough for that.  That's just not a comfortable position for me.

The good things are that this case is generally well designed for controlling your screen, although if there are bubbles the touch screen also will not work.  So you really have to squeeze it in there.

It's also worth noting that this is well designed to shield your phone from sweat resulting from your workout.  But there are too many design flaws for this to be a really good design.

I have now had this case for about a week.  The case consists of two parts: 1)  inner padding made of soft rubber and 2) thin outer shell made of hard plastic.  Install was easy, and the fit is good.

The hard outer shell supports the padding on the back wall and three edges of the phone; on the lower edge of the device where the USB port and the speakers are located, there is a ~2-in long area without the hard shell support.  I anticipate two problems with this design: less protection for the phone on the bottom edge, and that the padding will eventually break in this area - but this remains to be seen.  The padding forms a ~1 mm lip around the screen and forms decent protection.  I have already dropped my phone from about three feet high onto a hardwood floor with no damage to the phone or the case.

All in all - a decent product.

Update after 2 weeks of daily use: Upon cleaning with alcohol gives off a little dye.  Fit and protection remain good.

This phone case was purchased just before I bought the phone itself oddly enough. And while I like it, there are some major flaws with it for a (at the time $20) case.
Pros: The case didn't make the phone ridiculously large and bulky, provided the camera protection as they are no longer flush with the phone's chassis, and also protected the screen and provided plenty of room for glass screen protectors to fit (I have in the past experienced cases that push on the glass and make air pockets, making the glass void). Good protection!

Cons: The kickstand that comes with the case is flimsy beyond belief and can hardly hold the phone up on a perfectly flat, stable surface so forget propping it up on anything other than that. Additionally, the case is slippery, not to a ridiculous extent but to the point where it will start to slide out of your hand as you text (and I have very large hands - hence why I bought the plus).

Overall: As just a case, I'd say go for it. It's pretty decent for $17 (as of right now), but if you want something that can prop your phone up, find something else

This seems like a well-designed case that provides good protection. It's a combination of soft rubber cover and a hard plastic outer frame that holds the rubber cover in place and provides stability. It's effective to protect against drops and bumps. It did a good job of protecting the phone during a couple of accidental minor drops.

There are a couple of downsides for me. The soft rubber makes it more difficult to side in and out of a pocket. This is true for a suit inner jacket pocket, as well as a jeans front pocket, which is where I usually keep it.

I also have the desktop docking station, so I needed to remove/replace the case frequently, since it won't work with the dock. Once you get the hang of it, it's not too bad. However, the hard plastic frame has a thin piece across the top edge which eventually broke. I decided to try one of the TPU-type cases instead, This seems to work much better for me.

I still think this is a well-designed case and would be a good choice for someone who has no need to remove it.

It seems to provide a decent amount of protection, but its a bit too squishy for my liking, I put it inside another case that is harder so my situation isn't terrible, but if I threw this case into a backpack or bag I would be concerned that the screen would be damaged or the unit would wake up and cause battery drain and heat issues.

It's a decent case but not great.  I bought it for a 4S but it doesn't fit correctly.  Around the volume buttons it something it's right and it pushes the side of the case out a touch, the mute button is spot on though.  I didn't count this against the score though because it isn't listed as fitting.  I have two complaints.  First is the plastic on the back, it scratches very easily and looks very work after just a month and a half. Second is the difficulty in taking it out of the case, it's a pain in the rear.  It certainly doesn't just "pop" out! Another minor complaint is the "holla" on the inside.  I don't know why but it just bugs me.  Other than that it's a nicely designed case in a protection vs bulk.  It did turn out to be to bulky from me but I would expect it to survive a pretty good drop though thankfully I didn't have to test that.  I've moved on to a slimmer but less protective case, just personal preference.

I purchased this mount specifically because of the case feature, because I felt that if the mount ever came loose and my phone fell off, the case would protect it. While using this case, I still have had that feeling, and I like that sense of security. HOWEVER, there is a serious issue with the way the case fits my phone. I ordered the 5 inch one for my iPhone 6, and while it does fit, the case is TOO BIG and the phone slides down to the bottom. It's a serious design flaw, and since it doesn't fit snugly it makes it harder for me to use the phone through the front. The case should be specifically designed for each phone model, not manufactured in some blanket 5 inch model for many different phones which can be different sizes. Overall, I will continue to use this mount, but I took off a star because of the ill-fitting case. (Note: I did receive this item at a discounted or free price in exchange my unbiased review. This fact has in no way swayed my opinion)

While this product does appear be of decent quality, there is one unforgivable flaw in the design; it is way to big to fit any iPad, let alone the iPad Air. As a frame of reference, I was able to fit two standard DVD cases in the sleeve without any effort. While I don't actually own an 11" MacBook Air to test this out, I can only assume that it would be a closer fit (although probably too tight for practical use).

Other than the one unforgivable flaw stated above, the case has a nice feel, with smooth zippers and a guard to keep the zipper from scratching whatever was intended to be placed within. It also comes with a nice strap to carry the case by and has a side pocket to fit a charger or a Nexus 7 (which I do have and was able to test out).

OtterBox cases are well known for being sturdy, and it looks like this one will live up to that reputation. Seems tough enough, and I'm impressed that even the screen gets protection. The screen cover makes the touchscreen a little less responsive, but that's to be expected. However, the case doesn't seem to fit quite right- it partially covers the front facing camera and only allows the use of the "up" side of the left side volume button. I can work around it, and this case seems like a good enough product that I'd rather try to make it work than return it, but it has some issues.

I bought this for my wife, and she seems to be happy with it, but as a more technical-minded person, I figured I would look at some of the finer details, and communicate our experiences to help fellow customers decide.

This case seems to be well put together, and does provide solid protection. My wife has dropped her phone a few times in this case, and none the worse for wear. All the ports and charging connections are accessible. As far as the charging port is concerned, this case doesn't reall allow one to sit the phone in a cradle type charger, but that is a common flaw to all these type cases, so no points deducted there.

The main problem I had with this case, and which was pretty much solely responsible for the deduction of two stars, is the credit card holders and how they integrate with the overall case. When my wife put her ID and credit cards in the appropriate slots in this case, it prevents the magnetic clasp from engaging strongly. This is because the card slots lay directly against the face of the phone. When a single card is put in each slot, they have a sort of "stacking" effect" that keeps the flap from completely closing. I am not sure what design choices the manufacturer could have chosen to address this, but the simple fact is.. We bought this specifically because it allows one to carry ID/credit card and phone all in one. With credit cards in the slots, the phone is very prone to flipping open. Perhaps a longer paired magnet strip combination, along with a longer clasp? This would hold the wallet closed even when the cards are pushing outwards a bit.

If looking specifically for a phone case and ID/credit card holder combination, consider carefully how many cards you will be carrying along with

I really wanted to like this case but some serious design flaws really hold this case back. I wouldn't purchase this product again.

Pros:
Good protection with minimal bulk
Looks nice
Light weight
Doesn't disrupt cell signal as much as other cases

Cons:
Plastic frame piece is flimsy and easily broken (mine broke after removing the device from the case only a few times)
Due to bad design you won't be able to use standard sized car audio jacks without an adapter

It's a good case but it has issues. It has a thick rubber surround that goes over a plastic enclosure covering the phone which is very protective against drops. I wear cargo style pants often and like to slip my phone in a side pocket on my leg and the thick rubber causes it to stick to the fabric making it difficult to get in and out. Additionally, the rubber catches lint like a magnet and disperses it all over your phones screen.
The belt clip on the holster can be difficult to release as the clip holding the phone in is located in the same spot (see pic). Another issue I had was trying to get the phone out of the plastic retainer that fits under the rubber surround when I needed to remove my micro sd card. I thought it was going to break but I managed to do it. Overall it is an good case that will protect your phone well if you can accept the aforementioned issues and the bulkiness. The case measures 17.2mm (0.68in) thick with my Galaxy S3 in it.

The hard plastic case looks nice and great to hold.  Silicon layer provides additional protection.  I think this case will provide ample protection for the phone.

However I have to return this item due to design flaw of the push button for power.  Either the silicon material is too firm or it was design flaw, didn't align correctly with the power button.

You need to press it really really hard to turn on/off the phone.  This is very annoying when you need to turn on/off quickly.  I have to try couple of times to press the silicon button down enough to engage the power switch.

If you don't mind the above flaw, it is indeed quite a decent case for the phone.

This seems like it is pretty good protection for my phone, but there are several features that I don't really like. First, the case is so thick at the bottom that it is very difficult to open the USB cover to charge the phone. For someone with smaller fingers, this might not be an issue, but for me it makes it very difficult. Second, the stand on the back is flimsy and makes a lot of noise when it is closed. Third, the rubber part being on the outside causes the edges on the front to catch on things with just normal use and because it is a pretty soft rubber, it will pull away from the plastic part.

The case is sturdy, though, and these issues won't cause me not to use the case. It is a really good fit for the phone. It fits snuggly and I am not worried about it coming off or about my phone breaking if I were to drop it.
