Your lighting is terrible…
every single person on youtube and amazon says that after about 2 months the silicone gets loose, every person. no wonder why you can get them for 25 bucks now. not worth it tho if you need a new one every month or two
This case is not worth the price. Ive had it for about 3 months now and the silicone outer shell gets loose and barely stays on the plastic shell. I wouldn't buy this case again.
thanks for the review.. im pretty sold on it.. but one question does the belt clip stay pretty secure on your hip? Ive had some belt clip cases b4 that feel kinda flimsy im in the mechanic trade so i need something good
how bulky does it make it
Would you be able to turn the phone outward in the belt clip to use it as a stand? I have seen cases that do, but I didn't know if this was one. Thanks!
Hey, I think it should be ok to repel a bit of water. it's definitely not waterproof though. good luck!
Would you say this case would be okay at repelling water while clamped into the holster with the screen facing me?
Because I'm about to have my first job at the Humane Society and I will be working with hoses, soap, and such while cleaning kennels. If I were to accidently be sprayed a little or if water droplets hit the case whilst clamped in with the screen facing inwards do you think I could have water damage?
Love the channel and thanks if you could answer my question. 🙂
The defender offers more protection
Love your videos! Pls keep 'em coming!
I agree with EmanuelHenderson that the commuter case is better in my humble opinion. I've seen videos where the built-in screen protector still gets the watermarking / bubbles even when one doesn't have a 2nd screen protector installed like the InvisibleShield. It also isn't as bulky.
It seems like a waste to get such a slim profiled phone just to purposely add bulk back again in a case.
I'm pretty sure that's over bulky now..
Is the screen protector on it mandatory or is it removable
the commuter is better its half the size and better priced, great protection and has a screen shield that comes with it so you don't collect lint and smudges under the screen shield that's typical with defenders, and the hard shell is on the outside so its easier to slip into a pocket
yo try Spigen SGP Ultra Nano Optics spigen.com or on amazon
$13.99
talk about a Frankenstein Phone :-
it's an invisible shield
A company called JR.com.
i just ordered mine for $35.. where di you order yours?
I think its ok but the note to me is still a better phone
Someone that doesn't want to scratch or break their brand new phone
This is awesome. Thanks for the review!
You're Welcome.
Lmao! I carry a FAT BRICK between my legs every day. Just makes my legs stronger. I like the case myself.
These cases are ridiculous ? Big bulky turns a gorgeous thin phone into s huge bulky disaster ? Why would anyone who doesn't work with explosives want this case ?
Thanks Malik!
this case totally makes the slim design of the phone completely pointless ! ..who wants to carry around a fat brick all day long .. there are other cases that offer hard case protection while still keeping the profile somewhat to the original phone !
