There appears to be a limited number of cases for Galaxy S Relay:
Incipio SA-316 Feather
Incipio SA-321/322 Dual Pro
Tmobile D3O
No name brand rubber case (but is actually hard plastic).
I went through the review and it appears that all of them have the same flaw. The front plate attaches to the screen using tabs, which then breaks after several months because it was dropped or bumped. So any case is likely to have this issue?

that's true of pretty much every slider phone case. i had a couple different cheap hard plastic cases on my droid2, droid 4 and now i have one on my relay. for me, having that extra lip on the front face makes it less likely for me to drop it when pulling the phone out of my pocket. and the cases are so cheap, it's no big deal if it breaks. just spend another $3 on amazon/ebay and you're good. or buy 2-3 at a time so you always have a spare on hand.
the shortest time i ever had one last on my droid2 or droid4 was about 6 months, and it was due to a particularly bad drop onto the concrete driveway. but the case did its job perfectly - sacrificed itself to save the phone. if i hadn't had a case, i'd have had a shattered screen for sure. well worth the $3 investment. that said, i only go thru 1-2 cases per phone, and i usually keep my phones about 2 years. i just got my relay a month ago but case construction seems identical to what i had on the d2/d4 - thin tabs to grab the edge of the chassis - so i expect similar performance.

I'm using T-Mobile's OEM cases for the Relay. They are thick and have that rubberized feel to them. They are durable and work just fine. I found a deal on eBay and got two for like $8.00. Not may other choices really.
I quit buying the ones with rubberized fell because they start peeling after a while plus the rubber picks up all kinds of lint and dust from my pocket. Also don't like how it feels on my ear and face during a call.
I originally got the D3O case that was the original Tmobile case. However the seller on ebay sent me a broken product with broken tabs. The texture was also kind of terrible like it had some sort of rubber fizz and it did add quite a bit of bulk. On the plus side, the buttons were covered.
I then got a second case from a vendor everydaysource for $3. This time case fit perfectly and did not have broken tabs. Durability of the case is rather suspected since it appears to be spray painted on rubberized pain, but it's worth $3.

Poetic offered me to review their case, and they sent me one completely free. I want to thank them first for this kind offer.
To begin with design;
Quality of material is really good.
It looks great :good:. Compared to the other armor cases i saw, Revolution has a cool and better looking design for sure. It does not make your phone like old army satellite phones like others.
Cuts are precisely aligned. It has cuts for both mics on top and bottom.
The stand on the back offers great functionality , also adds a good-looking detail to back side.
It offers a better grip on the phone.
Field of profession: Protection
Nothing much to say really. For sure one of the best. Case feels really solid.
Also has dust protection caps on usb and headphone ports. It really gives you confidence about drop protection. I feel like a dont need do worry about dust or dropping my phone anymore.
Cons:
As a natural downside of this high protection, phone feels a little bit bigger and thicker.
I think it is hard to put the phone to the case and back off(Maybe there is an easier way than I did). But if you need this kind of protection I guess you dont need to do it often.
To conclude:
It is one of the best cases offering that much protection also with an elegant design. Feels solid and durable, no worries about dropping. If you need that much protection, I would definately recommend that.
As a results I give this product 9/10.

Very nice and interesting! Good work!

Glad you liked it
I'm pretty sure this is the ugliest design possible. Wouldn't put it on my phone if they paid me.
It seems too big to be good for daily use

Protection vs Convenience!
I got one too for the review! Here's my list of pros & cons:-
Pros:-
- Protection
When they say protective case, I didn't realize they literally meant every letter of it! This shell is so damn hard, I can beat the **** out of a mugger if it ever comes to that. I'm pretty sure even if I drop the phone on the ground from the first floor, nothing will happen to the phone unless the screen hits directly on some elevated object. So I'll give it a thumbs up on protection category. The case is damn solid! The brand also claims that the case is shock resistant, although I didn't get a chance to test it out myself (or may be I don't want to find that out). The case also covers the volume rocker and the power button with its own tactile buttons.
- Dust Resistant
Putting the case on is quite a challenge, however once done, it doesn't leave much space in-between the case and the phone itself. The USB Port and the 3.5mm Audio Jack has a dedicated pull-up flaps which are easy to open and close. So, overall, it has some dust protection too.
- Excellent Grip
The case is built with some reinforced TPU (or similar material) with texture on the sides which provides excellent gripping to the holding hand. Even if you drop it, doesn't look like it's gonna make any difference anyway!
- Built-in Kickstand
Not just the case, even the built in kickstand is made of metal and it definitely feels solid unlike some lousy kickstands which come with many other cheap cases. So you have the power kick it out and enjoy movies/videos (or games if you use a gamepad) anywhere you want.
Cons:-
- Size
Huge! That's what it is. Edge+ is already hard for some to handle it with one hand but putting this cover on, it becomes almost impossible for them to operate with one hand. It widens the phone by atleast 1.5-2 cms.
- Weight
With power comes responsibility. Similarly, with protection comes additional bulkiness! At 90 grams (3.2 ounce) this is the heaviest case I've ever used. At 153 grams ( 5.4 ounce), Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ is one of the slimmest and lightest phablets in the market and this case would put that to complete shame!
- Case On/Off
With my Gear VR, I need to take off my phone's case every now and then! With this case, that's not happening. It took me almost 15 minutes (first time and the only time) to put this case on. Trust me, it's damn hard to pull out the frame ( the plastic bumper) from inside the case and putting the phone inside is even harder! Though once done, it's definitely protected! Now, taking off the case is another challenge!
- Buttons
Due to this reinforced TPU material, the buttons on the case are a bit harder than usual. So you might have to use some extra strength when you want to access the power button or volume key, you still get the tactile feedback though!
The Final Verdict
If you work in a harsh environment and your sole purpose of a case is protection of the phone, this case is definitely for you. But if you hands are short or you like keeping your phone in your jeans pocket or you want to show off how cool is that edge display of your phone, this case isn't for you! Check out the HD images for a better view!
First I would like to thank Poetic for sending me a free sample to do a review of it.
I received Poetic Revolution case one week ago and I decided to test it for a while before I write a review.
At the first sight I was astonished by a quality of a case, I have never seen case with more details before. I really like its millitary look. I love how all holes are precisely cut out. They are covered with a dust protectors which is really nice. When you hold your phone in this case you are completely sure iz will not slip out of your hands.
I found metal stand really useful especially when I watch movies, have video conversation with my girlfriend or when I cook lunch and cannot hold my phone.
When It comes to protection I am sure it will prevent my phone of taking damage. My son dropped phone on the floor two times and phone survived just very well without cracking.
Cons:
- It is a little bit too bulky (but it is ok as protection is its main role)
- There should be screen protector intergrated in this case
- Every time I insert charger I am afraid to scratch bottom of my phone.
Overall I am keen on this case because it gives best protection to my phone. I love how nice it looks on my phone.
If you want highest level of protection for you smartphone you shoud definitely give it a try:

I received the Poetic Revolution case as well about a week ago. I wanted to give it a weeks worth of use before giving a review.
Pros
(1) Very well built. This thing is rock solid and the tolerances are super tight. This keeps out the dust and offers great protection from falls.
(2) Great Design... The overall aesthetics of this case are great. You can tell a lot of detail went into designing this case. It's funny to mention but I found the integrated backplate (blue plate) on the inside of the case to be impressive how it's molded into the rest of the case.
(3) It's awesome that they included a kickstand. I miss the days of old when phones had kickstands built into them, but this is a great alternative option since the newer phones don't have the kickstands anymore.
As far as CONS go.... there really aren't any that I could find. I did have a couple annoyances that I'll list below but these are subjective of my own opinion and shouldn't be viewed as a flaw in the design or a need to change it in any way, just a couple suggestions that would make "myself" like the case even more...
(1) Not a fan of the caribeaner loop... I get why it's there, and could be useful to some, but I feel like I'd just want to get some snips and cut it off... I wear baggy pants and can still fit this big case/phone in my pocket, however that caribeaner loop would catch on my jeans and just constantly annoy me. A minor hindrance, but I'd prefer it without the loop.
(2) I noticed the kickstand would "tap" against the backside of the case. This would be a little annoying were there any vibrations going on. For instance when my phone is in my car dock stand, the vibrations from the car/road would make this rattle ever so slightly. My suggestion, integrate some sort of rubber/silicon surface just under where the kickstand meets the backside of the case.
Final thoughts....
This is a great case that would definitely protect your phone had you dropped it, or are in a harsh environment. The design is eye-catching and worthy of the newer era of smartphone cases. The kickstand feature is a definite plus, and even though I am not a fan of it, I could see how the caribeaner loop would be useful for the outdoorsman or a construction worker.
I received my Revolution case from Poetic over the holidays (thank you guys).
The first thing that I noticed was the build quality!! It's amazing guys. You won't be banging up your phone with this case protecting it!!
All of the cut outs are very precise. The case has dust flaps to cover the charger and ear phones sockets. The case is a two part case that you take the rubber inner out and after fitting the phone into it then you put the outer tougher part on. It does add a little size to the phone but it's going to protect it from and mishaps. After all...protecting a phone that costs more than most gadgets out there is the main thing. I have used it now for a couple of weeks and I must say that when you buy a Poetic Case you're buying the best.
I am a proud owner of two different cases from Poetic and I promise you that one you try you will always buy from them.
I only found one slight hindrance and that's the kickstand. After a day or two it seems have become a little loose and taps and rattles. I just placed a tiny piece of blue tac under it to keep it closed.
Please try these cases from Poetic guys...I really speak highly enough!!!

I have been using the Poetic Revolution case on my gold Galaxy S6 Edge+ for about a week and a half
now. Here are my thoughts.
When looking for a rugged case, the Poetic Revolution marks off every box, and then some. This is one
of the best, and toughest cases I have ever seen. When not at work, I need a case like this for my phone.
Hiking, camping, car shows, at the lake, my kids and I are always outside. I have 2 young sons, with this
case on, I am not concerned if they grab my phone and throw it around. I have an 85 pound puppy that likes to chew. Thankfully he has never gotten a hold of my phone, but I feel confident this case would protect it.
When receiving this case, I thought it was going to be all black, but it was not. It is black with very dark
brown accents. I personally liked this as it makes the case stand out more, but in a subtle way. I also
think it makes the case look really good with my gold phone. I also really like having the port covers.
While out on the sand rails and quads out in the desert, they keep the dirt out. When you are at home
with your phone on the counter, they can keep them covered long enough for you to save your phone
should something get spilled.
I have seen where some people have said that this case is very difficult to take on and off, however, I
do not feel that way. Is it more difficult than just a thin snap on case? Of course, but I have no concern
that this case is coming off my phone if it gets dropped. I have used cases that go on and off in the same
way in the past, and I prefer them. The way it’s made, it is thinner than an Otterbox type case, but in my
opinion stronger because you don’t have 2 plastic pieces snapping together.
The kickstand on this case is also among the best I've seen. In my experience, most kick stands are
made from a cheap material, or even if they aren’t, they pop out of the case so easily the little nubs that
are used to snap it into place break. Not here, where it is very tactile in extending it to use it, but it will not pop out of the case on you. One other benefit is that I have been able use it both horizontally and vertically.
When it comes to the loop at the top, I could go either way. I would be happy with a case that did not have it, but I think it could also be more useful with some minor improvements. If I am just hiking, I feel confident when hooking it to my backpack. However, when out riding in the desert, I do not feel that it is strong enough to hook on to my keys or someplace similar. If it kept the loop, I would use it more if it were reinforced with a harder material. Either way, I think this was a good idea to separate their case from others.
Though I was pretty sure they would not work, I did test both wireless charging and Android Pay (NFC) with this case on, and neither worked. This was not a big deal for me as I do not use Android Pay much, and I only wirelessly charge at work, where I can just take the phone out of the case if need be.
This case was provided to me by Poetic for my honest opinions. For the price of this case (currently $19.95 on Amazon), it is superior to cases costing twice as much. Though this is my first Poetic case, it will not be my last. I was so impressed with this case that I recently purchased a Poetic case for my Galaxy Tab A after the old case was chewed by above mentioned puppy.
Looking great will definitely try it soon.

Hey all, thought I'd post a few quick reviews of some sleeves I ordered from Amazon. I've always preferred to keep my devices naked in hand, but protected in my pocket.
First up is the Rustic Leather iPhone 6 Plus Sleeve Handmade by Hide & Drink :: Guatemalan Cacao - $9.99 at time of review
Pros:
Cheap
Excellent Quality
Great Protection
Very Attractive
Can Charge Phone While In Case
Cons:
Adds A Slight Amount Of Width
I was very pleasantly surprised with the quality of this case when I opened the package. For $10, this sleeve is an absolute no brainer. Honestly, I'd consider it a bargain at two to three times the price. I'm pretty sure I paid $50 for a similar iPod Touch case from Saddleback Leather a few years ago. This product is very comparable, but uses a thinner piece of leather. The Saddleback case was very rigid, which was good and bad. Good in that it was very protective, bad in that it was very bulky in the pocket. I'd actually say this case is a better product because of the thinner leather. It's certainly not skimpy by any means, and I think it's a better compromise of protection vs bulk.
As you can see from the product name, it was designed for the iPhone 6 Plus, but as you can also see from the pics, it's a perfect fit for the Nexus 6p. Very tight to slide the phone in, but fairly easy to remove because of the cutout at the bottom.
Highly Recommended
================
Next up is the xhorizon TM Dark Elastic Neoprene Absorbing Pouch Case Cover ZY for 5.5 inch iPhone 6 Plus - $6.49 at time of review
Pros:
Super Cheap
Decent Protection
Keeps Screen Clean
Slim In The Pocket
Cons:
Less Protective
There's not a whole lot to say about this simple Neoprene case, other than that it does its job well. The Nexus 6p fits perfectly inside and remains fairly snug, requiring a bit of a tug to remove. Nothing significant really, but you don't have to worry about your phone just falling out of this case. As you can see in the pics, the back of the case is slightly taller than the front, which offers a bit of added protection for the top of the phone.
Another nice feature of this case is that the Neoprene does a great job of cleaning the screen as you slide the phone in and out of the case. This became especially apparently when I switched from this case to the leather case above. All of a sudden my screen seems peppered with little dots of lint that I hadn't noticed before.
Protection from this case will be mostly limited to scratches and scuffs from the detritus in your pocket. It may help pad the device in the event of a short fall, but I certainly wouldn't depend on it. For my purposes, though, I find it to be a great case.
Recommended
================
Third is the Synthetic Leather iPhone 6 Plus and 6S Plus Sleeve - Slightly Padded Microfiber Lined Executive Professional Synthetic Leather Case by Dockem (Dark Brown) - $9.99 at time of review
Pros:
Slim
Cons:
Unattractive
Creased
This was the first sleeve I ordered for my Nexus 6p and based on the 4.7 out of 5 star average Amazon review (out of 29 reviews!), I had fairly high expectations. This was probably one of the most disappointing items I've received in more than a decade of shopping at Amazon. As you can see in the last pic, it's a very flimsy, thin sleeve. The one I received has a very ugly crease through the middle of it, which was not caused by shipping as it was in a box laying flat with one other item and several inflatable pockets of cushioning.
The Nexus 6p does fit in the case, but it's a pretty tight fit. It's a little more difficult to extract the phone than I expected, but it is manageable with the slot cut out of the top. Not sure what else to say really, I hate this one.
Definitely Not Recommended
================
Last is the SOSAM 2Xpack Microfiber Sleeve Pouch Cover CasePouch For iphone 5 5S /iphone 6 6plus , Samsung HTC ONE / Blackberry Z10 Mini Wallet Purse Hand Bag Cloth Coin Cell Phone Bag Mobile Pouch (Black) - $8.00 at time of review
Pros:
Dirt Cheap
External Pocket
You Get Two?
Cons:
Major Lint Collector
Weird Clasp
You Get Two
At least with this case, I wasn't expecting much. With an effective cost of $4 each, how good can they be? Well, let's just put it this way, I want my $8 back. I have two dogs, and as soon as I opened this package, dog hair was immediately sucked from throughout my house to the felt of this pouch. You'd have thought these things were made by Dyson! On the positive side, the Nexus 6p fits fairly well into this case with a bit of extra room on the sides. The top is another matter though, the device protrudes a few millimeters from the top edge of the pouch. The unwieldy closure is a pain to use and despite the manufacturer's description of a drawstring closure, neither of mine function in that manner. You have to feed the longer string (with the bead) through the shorter string which catches on the bead to keep the pouch closed. Not very innovative and not really that functional.
About the only positive thing I have to say about this case is that it sports an external slot/pocket where you could store a pair of earbuds or a few bucks. Don't waste your money.
Absolutely NOT Recommended
================
I'm still waiting for my fitBAG Beat White custom tailored sleeve for Huawei Nexus 6P. Fine nappa leather pouch with integrated microfibre lining for display cleaning to arrive from Germany. I'll update this post when I receive it.
Do you think the phone would fit in any of these if it has a slim case on it?
Only the Sosam, which I really wouldn't recommend.

That's too bad. I would love to find one that can handle a slim case. I need it to put my phone in when I stick it in my backpack prior to going through airport security.
Thanks for these reviews - VERY helpful!
Hello Everyone,
New Note 4 user here, (yeah sounds strange upgrading from the note 3 finally, but samsungs gone full potato) and like any other purchase, the hunt for cases is on. I have scoured the internet/ebay/threads for possible solutions to my dilemma and haven't found anything, so I figure its a good time to ask. With my N3 I had the Seidio Dilex Extended battery case with the belt clip holster. This was an amazing combo and accounted for 99% of my needs, minus the stupid negative incline when the phone was flat on its back, due to the kickstand bulge.
Anyways, I am having a hell of a hard time finding extended battery cases that have a kickstand, or have the plastic belt clip holsters for that matter. Essentially it looks like its the Zerolemon and thats it for holster combos, or if I want an integrated kickstand, its the mugen, for outrageous pricing.
I had originally hoped that I'd be able to reuse the same case and such from my n3 with some modifications, since these two phones are very close in size. Well that got quickly abandoned, but there was still the possibility of using the seidio case and cover/holster since they appeared to be the same dimensions. Wrong again.
The sides of the case have much steeper angle coming out from the phone on the bottom and top, but could possibly be adjusted depending on how or if I can rework the holster.
and the top
I have found a temporary starting point to try and reclaim some of the utility I had with my N3 with a few random pieces from amazon.
Anker has been out of stock for a while, unless you want to pay scalper prices on ebay, so I figured I'd give Kranich a whirl for the $25 they asked for 6400mah battery and the plastic textured back panel.
Next I picked up a generic tpu honeycomb case (hopefully this is better than the plastic crap I had on my SIII) for $10 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00S1581X4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and lastly found a neat little gadget for another $10, a magnetic kickstand with adhesive. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HP15P60/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
My plan should it go well, is to try and either cut a loop in the tpu case and secure the kickstand to the plastic backing itself, or to the tpu on the outside if thats not possible. Either way, ill make sure to correct the confusing mistake seidio made by putting the kickstand on the bottom of the phone and having it lay with the bottom of the phone slightly elevated instead of flat.
This should get me back to at least the core level of performance that the seidio case I had before offered, with a little less protection I think.
The last problem however, is the belt holster (or whatever you want to call it). Again, not many options, so I am looking at modifying my existing seidio holster to fit my N4 or possibly getting an otterbox holster and trying to work with that. You know, interestingly enough, I figured Alibaba would be swarming with weird stuff like that, and I really didn't see anything different
If anyone has any bright ideas, I'd love to hear it. Or for that matter any other cool suggestions for gear.
==============================Update #1==========================================
TPU case came in, god this stuff still sucks, and spigen kcikstand as well. After slipping my note 4 into something more sensual, I decided it was time to try out the holster, which I prayed to the case gods would still fit, and i-it d-d-does! Success! It does in deed definitely fit securely in the mount, albeit a it rides a little higher in the clip due to being ever so slightly longer that the note 3 with the seidio case (works for me still).
Far Away shot.
Damnit, point and shoots are picky when shoplights are involved.
Now that the first test was an overwhelming success, I decided it was time to make some cuts and drop the kickstand in, maybe risk some fingers or violate some safety rules. I decided to cut my way through the TPU case (while half listening to a linus tech tips webisode) and attach the kickstand directly to the phone case for more stability and a slightly smoother surface and a little more professional look. Results below:
First was to figure out where to put the case, I noticed that the first set of honeycombs was almost a perfect border for the ends of the kickstand and those served as an excellent guide for my first cuts.
To achieve a straight cut, i used a square razor blade and tapped it down through the tpu into an old notepad. this have a nice clean straight edge, id soon have to murder since it was nowhere near wide enough for accommodate the whole kickstand. A halfway picture would have been nice, but I was eager to finish.
If you do decide to copy this, make sure you cut the material, almost too tight for the kickstand, so it fits snugly, instead of stretching and leaving a gap like mine did. I would have liked to have rounded my edges a little better, but oh well, its not like I bought the phone to look at the back.
In any case(oh god not the puns), I think it worked out pretty well, but I think I'm gonna try and find a few more TPU cases, maybe that are a little spongier since this hardly gives any protection for drops. An added benefit is the lip of the kickstand in this spot serves as a nice rest for your fingers while using the phone.
I own and use the Thor Champagne Gold version of this one for more than 18 months now: https://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Note-Verus-Charcoal-Black/dp/B00MHBSHYG
and am very happy with it. Have dropped the Note4 while bicycling, and from other stupid high positions on stone, it has saved my Note4 many a time. These verus cases rock!
So try that brand, I bet you they have what you need.
Switched from Hyperion 8000mah with honeycomb tpu, now using Verus Iron Shield with Spigen kickstand add on and purchased 3 extra batteries with external charger for $23 US from Amazon. I have leather holster, but front pocket works just fine.

That looks and sounds amazing, and reminds me of some of the drops my note 3 has taken and survived. This is what I really, really wanted to reproduce with my note 4, because, well it makes sense. Only problem is, I really want an extended battery since charging is much slower than my n3, and I don't want to rely on batteries.

It looks goregeous, but I'm a little concerned about dampening shock, TPU doesn't seem to be the best at it..

I would 100% second this review. Having this case on my phone for each interation of new Samsung phone has been a must for the last 3 years. The best part about these cases is the fact i've only bought one case for each of my phones. They just last. I used to have 3 or 4 cases by the time i was on to the next model. Since, the Note wasn't updated last summer i kept my note 20 and the case is still good as new 18 months later (kickstand included).
Oh and for anyone wondering about screen protectors, I have had the whitestone dome on my phones as well with these cases and they fit perfectly.
I have the orange color combo seen in the last picture above on my note 20 and its still my favorite.
To start I have been using Armadillotek, now known as Caseborne for a couple years now on every phone I have had since I first tried their cases out. Being a person who is very clumsy and drops their phone quite a bit, this case has been a life saver. It is a heavy duty case without the bulkiness you get from an OtterBox. The case has allowed me to use any standard tempered glass screen protector that are compatible with cases as well. If you are looking for an amazing case that will protect your phone and last this is the case to go with. Some of my other favorite features of the case is definitely the kickstand when I'm sitting there and I want to watch YouTube or movies. And the fact it it also covers the charging port from any dust or moisture is a huge plus. Also you can't beat the price! To buy a case under $25 that has features like the kickstand and charging port cover all while giving you drop protection to protect your phone you spent well over $1000 on speaks for itself. You won't regret buying this case. I'm not big on leaving reviews but for this case I definitely have to speak the truth about how well it works.

To start I have been using Armadillotek, now known as Caseborne for a couple years now on every phone I have had since I first tried their cases out. Being a person who is very clumsy and drops their phone quite a bit, this case has been a life saver. It is a heavy duty case without the bulkiness you get from an OtterBox. The case has allowed me to use any standard tempered glass screen protector that are compatible with cases as well. If you are looking for an amazing case that will protect your phone and last this is the case to go with. Some of my other favorite features of the case is definitely the kickstand when I'm sitting there and I want to watch YouTube or movies. And the fact it it also covers the charging port from any dust or moisture is a huge plus. Also you can't beat the price!

I love it more than OTTERBOX
EDIT - Wrong review. LOL
Over all good phone case with few downsides. I’ve used this since the first day to now . And I must say my phone looks brand new under the case. I’ve dropped it on every hard surface you’ll see from day to day work. Day one I threw my phone into the stone tile at work for a co-worker with enough force to bounce the phone, again it looks brand new.
I've been very happy with mine. ArmadilloTek has been very consistent as far as the fit and finish. The buttons have a very tactile response, vs some other cases I've used that sacrificed the clicky feeling for protection. This case has managed to be very protective, while still having perfect access to the buttons. My phone feels indestructible in this. Two thumbs up!

I am glad you like it. Did you try the R series?
I've been using the V series for a few days now, and it's such a nice case. The kickstand is a little tough to get out sometimes, but once it wears in it's easier to work with. It def will protect the phone against drops and damage. I think between the R and the V, I am keeping the V on the phone.
The tank of cases. This beats other similar brands for durability and design. It even has a stand on it and screen protector. Throw this off a cliff, it will survive! Buttons are great, and have good feedback. Has a cover for the lighting port and wireless charging works fine through this case.
Highly recommended cases right here. top notch quality and great customer support. fast shipping. What more can you say. Thumbs up ArmadilloTek.

Where does it say it has a screen protector? Not seeing that..
Loving mine even though I don't do the kickstand, it is a durable and protective case for sure. Well worth the money! I like the black the best.
I have there Orange/grey case and I like it a lot, I tried the clear case with the rainbow frame but I found to slick to keep ahold of it, especially with wet hands and the car wash I work at you get wet hands often.
