Seidio Innocase Review (GREEN) UPDATED 56k BEWARE

I will be doing reviews and testing for Seidio products and received my first one to start with. ( Admins if you would like verification I do have that available ).
It is the Green ( Or Saga as they call it ) Epic 4g Case. I have provided a couple of pictures and will be posting a full review today with more photos to come. Possibly may do a video to show the sliding action since that has been a big question among the cases currently out.
Currently I'm going to be testing the sliding mechanism restriction, phone damage if any, and a few other things.
Seidio Innocase EPIC 4G (GREEN) Review
Review:
From first impression, the Seidio Innocase for the Epic 4g has a great feel all around the case. The rubberized no slip grip works wonders, yet still has a smooth to the touch finish. All buttons and microphone are completely accessible without restriction.
Sliding mechanism:
With the case attached to the Epic 4G there is NO restriction on the sliding mechanism. Now Seidio did a surprising design that many manufactures have not attempted. For the bottom portion of the case, the attachment clips are on each corner yet they are raised slightly from the rim of the case, this allows a very small opening for the case to move freely. Addition to that, the top cover has the attachment clips mounted on the top and bottom. Due to both these features – Scratching of the keyboard is long gone and smooth sliding stays.
Installation and Removal:
Install was very basic, the case clipped on smoothly and is simple enough to remove incase of a reset, memory card, and battery removal.
Appearance:
The case is thin compared to most out there. After installing the case there was not much added to the bulk of the phone. In my opinion this gave a the phone a better look with a case due to how thin it is.
The green I had to admit is beautiful – It is a true Saga but can be looked upon as a light forest green.
Durability Testing:
For this I used my second epic as it is my test phone for software and such. To meet the standards of daily use, I tested the phone while out at a Mall, Movie theater, Restaurant, and outside on trails. This allows different areas and different types surroundings for testing.
After Dropping the phone on several occasions and from different heights and on different material ( 1ft, 3ft, 5ft, 6ft) - The case never came off and surprisingly the case is almost un-touched. The phone was fully protected and no damage was done.
Options:
There have been questions if the case will fit with a Seidio Screen Protector, Phantom Skinz, Invisible shield, and 3rd party brands. I tested the case with phantom Skinz – Tight fit but still works great. Seidio Screen Protector – Fit perfect, Invisible Shield - The case fit like a glove. 3rd party skins provided the same results.
If there are any questions please feel free to post. Other colors and products coming soon.

tell them to release a case that can replace ur backplate instead of snapping on top...either that or a premium case with felt lining
update[color]:
Really you cannot go wrong with black unless perhaps a chrome/rubber premium case w/felt and galaxy s logo (of course with seido at the bottom

Will do, now is there a color preference of the felt and back case? ( there are some that are picky about that ).

Zigarath has a good idea there. If they had a backplate that flared out just enough to cover the chrome edges it could probably be a lot smaller. Id love to see photos of the white and I'm curious how the colored cases attract markings/stains. I have always had black seidio cases but am considering something a bit more vibrant but would hate for it to get all marked up and dirty after a short period of time.

The rubberized coating is smoothed and not course so stains and markings are less prone to occurring and visibility.
More colors soon to come as there will be a review for every color possible.
Any other color requests?

you spoke about how they designed this case differently from others taking into account of the sliding keyboard, etc.
any chance of taking photos of the top and bottom cases seperately so that i can see what you're trying to explain about their "features" and how/where the clips are placed?
update: ah, i think i see what you're talking about in some of the photos, i can kinda see the clips on the bottom of the case near the word Samsung. Great photos of the close up btw

If you like I can get some better photos of the clips on both cases, use higher contrast so there more visible.
Just as a kicker some photos where taken with the epic

Since you are advertising for Seidio I can see why you have such a positive bias on their behalf.
But Id have to disagree with your review.
With the case on, while the clips are as thin as they could possibly be, they still pull the phone apart slightly and rub on the silver bezel of the phone. While it might not be noticable to you, the smoothness of the slider is compromised and I can physically feel the clips snagging as the keyboard is opened and closed.
The case feels sturdy on, but many people are reporting that after using the Seidio case for an extended amount of time and then removing the case, the phone feeling much looser sliding open, and even having phone wobble that wasn't there before.

looks good enough, altho id prefer a cobalt blue color, also kinda away from topic i noticed you had a slight orange peel effect on the screen. is that with the invisashield?

This is information that is needed, I also have phone wobble but that was before any case. With your case on does it show minor separation?
my review is positive as currently the experience with the product is positive. If there is a negative effect/issue with the product is better to find, isolate, and repair.

I'm hoping to get the blue for review also. That is my color of choice.
Yep, When I had it installed I wondered if it was going to affect the screen, to my surpurise IMO didn't really change anything, once you turn on the screen the screen protector blends right in.

all the case scraping problems can so be avoided by just making a rubberized replaceable backplate and a thin rubber bumper on top. problem solved. I know seido browses these forums so hopefully they've seen enough people say the same thing and listen up

how easy is it to remove?

I did inform Seidio about the requests for a new case that would replace the Battery Cover also provided the reasons and benefits along with the consumer market interests. Also mentioned the requests for felt lining as I would also like this option.

that would be fantastic

The only problem I'm having with my Seidio is that the bottom left side (portrait, phone closed) of the back plate's clip is starting to break already. I've had a corner of it break off and the other is starting to go as well. No idea how it'll stay on if it does break, but for 30$ I was expecting a bit better quality than that.

Might be a defect, does happen. Since there is a warranty I would just give them a call or chat and file a warranty claim/RMA.

I would really like to see a review/photos of the active and rugged cases.

Seidio Active X Case Black Review UPDATED - 50+ pics

Will be doing a thorough review on the Seidio Active X Case, including some tests for durability. Pictures will be included.
Providing the Basics today along with a few photos, will run the case through a series of test for durability and use this weekend. More pictures to come!
My apologies if a couple pics don't look so great Camera was giving me issues.
Intro:
Well Just received the Seidio Active X case today and I have to say I was surprised. You are provided with three pieces. Outer Screen protector, a rubber back skin, and then a Plastic Skeleton to go over the rubber back piece. Installation was breeze and this case is easier to remove due to the design of the Plastic Skeleton. Outer Screen protector is pretty simple to remove but having finger nails will benefit greatly! Another thing to note: Since the Skeleton is a separate piece, changing colors will be simple ( if you wanted to could even paint it! ). Sliding Mechanism was not affected at all.

Design:
Outer Screen protector
Outer Screen Protection Piece does have a taller lip and it is a little thicker but feels strong. With the taller lip I didn't find any affect or issues with comfort on the use of the screen or buttons. The finish is smooth with a rubbery feel, and yes you may find that one or two little bumps within the finish - (If you really want to remove the bumps in the finish then use 1500 or 2000 wet sand paper and very Lightly go over the bumps. Make sure to wet the paper - this will allow you to keep the finish). The tabs are located on both the top and bottom of the piece and sectioned in the middle ( view pictures above ). -- This is nice since the most common issue with cases is scratching or restriction due to the tabs being placed on each side.
Rubber Skin:
IMO - I love this! Provides protection for the phone without the possibility of the case scratching the phone itself. Both the Power and Volume buttons are covered but fit the form of the phone and require the same amount of pressure to be pushed. As for the cut outs - Match perfect- Mic, USB, Headphone, Camera, and LED, and if by chance yours does not you can also trim whatever excess you need to since its rubber.
Back Skeleton:
The back Skeleton has a very smooth finish with no bump in sight. The skeleton itself is very sturdy along with the clips located on each corner. Now the design was to set for most common point of Impact. On any phone there are 6 points - Top Left and Right Corner - Bottom Left and Right Corner - Left Side - Right Side. The Skeleton was designed around these 6 points of impact along with using the rubber skin interior as a shock absorber. The skeleton Case Wraps around on each point which in truth allows for a sturdier construction due to each point of impact being supported both by form and curvature.
I will provide pics of the phone within the case once the Camera is charged.
Updated

If you can assure me that this product 1. Does not look as rough around the edges as in the pictures on the website 2. Allows me full functionality of the keyboard (slides open *duh*, doesn't hinder ability to use top row number buttons) 3. Is durable and well made enough to justify spending $29.95 on a case, then I will glady purchase it. Question: Is there any way you could get pictures different angles of the case for example the top and bottom with keyboard open/closed, I am seriously interested as long as I can have some good information to go off of.

I thought i was he only one that notced it was looking a little rough on the website.. i hope a company like seido wouldn't release a product looking like that..
Tapatalkin' it from my Epic 4G

Any information any user provided I sent off to seidio for development of the active x case that way they can attempt a perfect case. I'm not sure but I think the color plate is switchable which would be a nice option.

Sadly ALL of the Active cases are like that.
On the Nexus and Evo active cases, the rubber has lots of extra bits, and the ports aren't perfectly cut.
On the Evo, the plastic shell doesn't fit perfectly around the rubber skin, and has a bit of a gap.
You can take a exacto blade and remove the uneven edges if you want.

That's disappointing to hear, how could they expect me to pay that amount for such bad quality? When we get some detailed pictures I will have a better idea of the quality, but until then all indicators point to a poor quality product.

Seidio is currently the best quality case out there for the epic but it ISN'T any OtterBox or even CaseMate.
The plastic exoshell on my friends Evo has been shedding since she purchased it. Little bits of plastic come off the shell just from having it in her pocket.
Seidio is not worth the price of the product, quality wise. But when there is literally nothing else on the market, what else can ya do?

That's the problem, is that there are no other options besides the Seidio case. Still waiting on those pictures though...

how easy is the back part to remove?

Not hard at all, just grab a corner and pull away slightly and should come right off.

Still not sure I can justify paying $30 for a case vs. $2 I paid for my ebay one. I'm sure quality is very different, but I feel like the level of protection I get from my ebay one (which I guess we are referring to as the "bar" kind from that other review) is adequate enough. It feels good in the hands too. I'll wait to see pics of this when you have everything fully assembled. I'm wondering how thick it gets with 3 pieces.

Updated More pics

How much more thickness does it add. Is it still pocketable? obviously it'll be thicker but pictures and actual hands on is always a differant story. Thanks!

I want to know does it fits in the media dock?

Just a tad thicker really, add maybe 1mm if that IMO. Fits in the pocket no issue at all, and the case finger groves are perfect, ambidextrous. Also the lip around the Face Protection of the case has more depth.

i-Blason TPU Case

I was perusing the Rearth Case thread and from there came across the i-Blason TPU case. Like the Rearth, it's $10USD well in US, not sure if it's available internationally yet.
I have it on and sporting it right now. I do like it. It gives the phone better grip IMO. The only negative is that it's not clear. I mean you can still see the nexus name but not the sparklies lol. I have also posted a pic of a holster that I had back when the HTC Sensation first came out and I needed some sort of holster before Seidio came out with one. Don't mind the cords lol...

If someone could comment on a good glossy tpu case (maybe this one is), I find those have much better grip than matte.

I don't have a N4 but waiting for one eventually and wanted to see what cases there are. Currently I have a Sensation with an i-Blason case and love it as well. Anyone want to try it out? I personally want a clear/frost one. Other colors are black and pink.

I respectfully disagree with your opinion. For my Sensation, I have both the cheap ebay ones that can be bought for around 2-4 dollars and I currently have the i-Blason. Yes they are similar, but the main difference for me when I got these for my Sensation was that the openings and buttons did not align 100%. With the i-Blason, on the Sensation anyway did. So that is why I was inquiring if anyone has tried these out yet.
But you may be right, you never know with new products, but I want to see the proof in the pudding.

I don't know about their quality yet, but I pre-ordered with them because they claimed to be shipping on the 13th. So I figured I'd pick it up just because it was the first case I saw available.
Well turns out it didn't ship until the 21st and that was the last day of their expected timeframe that it would be delivered. They did not expedite the shipping and would not get back to me about requesting a refund on the shipping.
At this point, even if it's a nice case I'm sending it back. I don't like doing business with companies that fail to communicate (and yes, at least with Google I had someone to call regardless of them knowing something, they still answered. They also honored Free shipping for failing to meet shipping timeframe).
Other than that, I ordered the black one and I'll update with the quality of it and pics with it on the device.

I also ordered this case in Frost Clear.
I was a little disheartened to look at the product photos today and see the true representation of the case on the phone.
When I ordered the case on the 19th, the images they showed on Amazon were obviously Photoshopped, but I had hoped they were a decent representation of the case, just not having an actual model phone to place them on for product photos.
The Frost Clear product on the 19th looked like this in their image : imgur.com/PrIEy.jpg
Now, looking at the new image they have, the thing is near white. : imgur.com/PrIEy.jpg
I should have mine in an hour or two, and can take photos and post if anyone is interested. I'll wait to get it in my hands to determine if I'm satisfied. I was looking for something a bit more subdued and dark, yet clear enough to see the rear design of the phone a bit. This new white frosted version is much the opposite of that.

Hmmm, for my sisters s3 she had also ordered 2 cases. One from I-Blason for 15$ and the same on from hong kong for 2.50$ and in the end I think even the Hong Kong was better but your opinion is your own and I will not change it Its just im in high school and I make sure to get the best deals because I cant just go buy the most expensive ones.

Received mine - Photos
Just got mine in the mail. Again, it's definitely not what I was expecting with the original product shots they used on the amazon page.
Here's the gallery : imgur.com/a/QcCKr
I got this as a stop-gap until the bumper or a nicer case was available, so I'm not cringing so much for the time being, but it definitely looks cheap and looks like a toy with this on.
I was hoping for a more tinted plastic with a dark tinted plastic for the back, as the original images would have you believe.
I can say, for the most part, the new photos are very representative of the final product.
Aside from the looks, it feels pretty secure. the case has a bit of give on the left and right sides of the phone, making it feel squishy. The back part that is frosted isn't very grippy, it's more of a paper-like feel, like they just sanded down the clear material. there's no logos to be seen on the case at all, which i'm actually quite happy about. I figured the i-blason logo was going to be on the back, as some of the images had shown. The clear portions aren't super grippy, but there's a bit more than the bare Nexus 4 had. The buttons are harder to press than they are bare.Kinda hard to get used to the pressure needed. It's not a ton, but more than I'm used to.
There's a notch at the top of the front, for the receiver, which was a nice touch, to keep it fully open. The ridge around the front of the phone covers the chrome completely and comes in on the curved glass almost all the way. the height from screen-plane to top of the ridge is probably no more than 1mm, if that. It's the same thickness as a credit card, if that gives anyone a good indicator.
Overall, I'm alright with the purchase. I wasn't expecting a top quality case, just something to make me feel a bit more secure with it until the right case arrives. I didn't like the common s-curve case, so I got this one. sorta wished I had gotten the dark grey s-curve instead, to have the darker look I wanted.
Hope this helps anyone else out there.

Just got mine, I ordered the black, but amazon sent me the Frost Clear along with the Black, so I got 2 cases for the price of one lol....I can tell you the black looks nice, much nicer then the clear I think, I had a clear one on my S3 and no matter what clear TPU starts to turn yellow over time. Will post some pics in a few of the black. The case looks alot like Diztronic it has a matte black finish on the back and gloss bezel, it covers the curved edge of the glass, which for me is a nice touch since most screen protectors that arent wet apply won't be covering that part of the phone...one thing is the bottom and top edge, since the bezel is covered up my screen protector i had to cut since it was pushing it up other than that great buy for 10 bucks..also the cutouts are perfectly aligned....no complaints fits securely in the case much like a Diztronic case.

And a few more pics

Well I got my covers and id post pictures but they'd just be redundant. Not much to see

Really havent tried the clear one but the black one is grippy enough where its not super slippery like the phone itself. the back feels the same as the matte finishes on my diztronic cases.

Just received my frost clear one in the mail. Honestly wasn't expecting too much out of it, so I'm pretty content with the product. Sorry I don't have another camera on me to take pictures of it with it on the phone, but the updated pictures on their Amazon page comes pretty close. It is clear around with the back having that "frost" look, so you can see the Nexus and LG logo pretty clearly. I would've liked it if the whole case all around was that translucent frost, but IMO it's not too bad. I also wish the cut outs were more precise, especially for the rear speaker. It's just this big cut out as if they just guesstimated it... this is one thing that looks better and more precisely done in the Amazon photos than IRL. But overall it's alright. Only using it so I don't have to be concerned with damaging my phone until I get a nicer case when they start coming out.

Hello,
I didn't see this case mentioned and considering the LOW supply of actual quality cases I decided to start this thread in case I wasn't the only one who didn't know about it lol. Looking through the pics what I like the most is that it allows you to touch/use the actual buttons and the center dimple and camera have their own circle rather than an oval like in other cases (hate that oval design). I just ordered mine today and will post pics once it arrives but in the meantime check out the link below. I got it for $16 shipped from amazon.

2014-12-15 updated with review:
I didnt even use the case for more than a day and went back to the tudia case. I really wanted to love the SATIN case but the edges make the case feel cheap. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the back of the case for the brushed aluminum pattern on it and the dual circles, but the cheap feel is a deal breaker. The sharp edges that they put in place for grip really just make it feel cheap in the hand. Also the risk of the honeycomb actually damaging the back cover of the phone is a concern for prolonged use. After a day there was a honeycomb pattern on the back cover but with a damp towel it came off. I might use it on occasion, but by no means will it be my 24/7 case.
pros:
-Love the dual circle opening for camera and M logo rather than oval
-brushed aluminum pattern on back of cover looks great
-has openings to touch actual power and volume buttons
-sharp edges on sides for grip
cons
-adds SLIGHT bulk to the phone compared to a thin case like the tudia
-the sharp edges for grip make it feel cheap (maybe if it was made of something other than TPU it would be ok)
-openings for power and volume button SLIGHTLY restrict access to buttons (smaller fingers wont have this issue) and compared to the extra firmness of the tudia cases sealed buttons, I say both cases are comparable for ease of button pressing
-honey comb pattern inside the case CAN POTENTIALLY damage the phones back cover

Added the link to the OP just now. I didn't even receive the shipped notice yet but it said I think monday-thurs of next week it should arrive. Hoping it actually comes friday or saturday though.

I purchased this case from eBAy a couple of months ago. I like it, I switch between this case and the Hula bumper.

Thanks for the pics but you said a few months ago? Lol man I have been checking for new cases a few times since I got the phone and never saw this case. Think the biggest problem is perhaps finding cases due to the official name being the same as last years.
Think motorola needs to make an official name sequence or something like htc did with the HTC one m7 and m8. I think making the model year part of the name would be cool; like cars and most other things with wheels.

Yeah I was searching on eBay for cases and came across the listing. I was nervous that it was going to be for the 2013 model but the description said 2nd generation so I gave it a try. It's really hard to find cases for the phone, one thing I look at in the pics are to see which wallpaper they show in the phone. Sometimes that helps to distinguish the different models. Try searching with 2014 and/or 2nd generation in your searches.
Motorola definitely should update the naming convention on these phones.

The funny part is that some case makers are too lazy to update their wallpaper image. My tudia case arrived with a cardboard of the gen1 wallpaper and initially thought they sent the wrong one until I opened it. Also body glove on the moto x shows the gen 1 for the moto x but only has a case for the gen2 which is funny and maybe why I didn't notice this one sooner since I literally went on their site a few weeks ago.
Yeah the naming needs to be easier to tell which model year. Oh well. Love the phone lol

It doesn't look too shabby but historically, body glove's cases haven't been the best quality. Will wait to hear impressions before I decide if I want to order it or not.

Well it came in earlier than expected (woo hoo!) and I updated the OP to include some pics.
I like the look of the case, it seems to add some bulk compared to the Tudia case I have though. It seems and feels thicker I think due to the flatter lines (back is still curved) but both cases on the table visually cant be more than 0.5mm difference. I have mixed feelings about it, I wish the case was thinner honestly but I do like it. Really need to use it a day or two so I can form an opinion on it. There are "sharp" edges which really help the phone feel secure in the hand. The shock factor would be no greater than any other TPU case. Overall fit of it against the moto x is solid though. The power and volume buttons are I would say for a normal adult moderate/easy to press due to the size of the openings. The Tudia requires extra force to overcome the case materials flex and the body glove one your physically pressing the button but the opening can be a bit of a restriction for some (and I dont have sausage fingers either lol).
I would say the one flaw I saw is the molding is a bit off on one of the mics which is seen in one pic. The hole is technically in the right spot and honestly its probably fine but its like there is some molding that needs to be cut a bit which I will do to my sample.
Overall Im looking forward to using this case for the next few days and see how it goes. Cosmetics wise I think it beats the Tudia hands down, lets see how it goes functionally.

of what material is the honeycomb pattern inside made. I ask because of a picture posted by one Amazon reviewer.
I don't have a leather back, but do you think it would be pressing too hard on a soft touch back. ?

Wow thats bad but with leather I could have seen that coming. Yesterday I saw a honeycomb on my soft touch back but looked like some oils from the case since it wiped off. After a full day today I will update.
Worst case it will give me a good excuse to mod my back. I have been googling carbon fiber material to make my own back but havent had the courage to do it just yet lol

Ok so after a day of use with the base soft touch moto x I could see a pattern on the back cover but when wiped with a towel it came right off. It didnt feel like it made an impression but the honeycomb was visible until I wiped it with a damp towel.
Overall I didnt even use the case today and went back to the tudia case. I really wanted to love the SATIN case but the edges make the case feel cheap. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the back of the case for the brushed aluminum pattern on it, but the sides are a deal breaker. The sharp edges that they put in place for grip really just make it feel cheap in the hand. Also the risk of the honeycomb actually damaging the back cover is the deal breaker from being my go to case. I might use it on occasion, but by no means will it be my 24/7 case.

Top Rated Case from Amazon Round up review : Heavy duty , lightweight , stylish more

I just joined this forum a couple days ago . So here we go , let us talk about cases .
And the boss of this forum sent me an email , i am so flatted , he is such a nice guy .

Otterbox LGG5 Review
Today i just make a brief review for my lg g5 cases
It's taken more drops then anything.
However, I dropped one star for it's method of installation. Here's why; For this device, I have the extra battery, external charger and USB accessory kit. While under normal use this battery does nicely for a day, I am not a normal user. I can kill a battery FAST. So having two is heaven for me. But getting this case open to get to the phone to swap batteries could have been easier for this particular device. The phone is so ridiculously simple to get into (LOVE IT!). It also obviously won't fit the extra 'friend' parts so far. If I find a solid case that would, I'd consider that one. With my hands, this case is difficult for me to get on and off to swap batteries. But it is the best case out there right now cause I WILL drop my phone.
As it sits, this is still the strongest case out there. Easier to get into might include the Commuter but it also forgoes the screen protector. Wife had one of those last time around and her screen is cracked.
Update: (redid this cause for some reason it didn't show me as a verified purchase the first time... odd) Also I did find the best way to open this case is to use the handle from a basic fingernail clipper or a wide flathead screwdriver from my leatherman. Don't twist it, just push slightly and they unlock. This one is HARD to do with the fingers (at least right now). I suspect they made the connections stronger then before cause of how easy they were to break.

Most people want to customize their phone beyond how it looks out of the box and have some options in the future. I got my wife the G5 a couple days ago and she loved the way it looks but loved it even more after this case.
The case comes in an impressive plastic box with a cut out in the front and a company description on the back. Inside the box is the case and a detailed set of instructions on how to remove the case, along with some product information.
The case fits on easily enough. Remove the gold plastic ring that is on the outside of the case and fit the phone into the TPU shell. Then reapply the gold plastic ring. This is the most difficult part, since not all of the gold plastic ring wants to click in easily, especially around the volume buttons and across from the volume buttons. Once you get everything snapped in you're good to go. The back of the case comes up enough to protect the dual camera's sensors and on button and has a smooth and comfortable feeling downward slope that makes it easy to index the button without looking. The bottom portion of the downward slope is longer than the top portion so allow your finger to fit at the proper angle.
The back of the case is textured but does not feel rough and the side is smooth. The volume buttons are more or less flush with the side of the gold plastic ring portion, but are reliable and easy to use. The bottom has a cutout for the type-c port and speaker, as well as a cutout at the top for the 3.5mm jack and IR blasters. In these areas the gold plastic ring portion is positioned on one side of the cutout and does not go all the way around it.
There are a couple negatives about this case. First, since the back is textured it makes it difficult to securely affix a “fashion ring”, which my wife likes to use. She had this case on today and was holding the phone by the ring when the phone detached and fell to the ground. I'm happy say the case protected the phone fully from its first drop, but this slight niggle might make this case spend more time on a shelf than on the phone in the future. The other negative is that reinforcing ring looks a little too plasticky. I have about 10 other cases for this phone currently, and a few have metallic-looking parts that are plastic but manage to have a more metal look to it. The case is extremely well made, but the plastic ring detracts from the premium look of the case in my opinion.

3 Lazer Case for LG G5
finally recieved this case in the mail. To be honest, I was surprised at the high quality. When you're a maker of phones cases, it's dificult to make a name for yourself when you have companies like Spigen and Caseology as your competitors. Those companies have already established themselves.
What I liked most about this case was the attention to detail. Like the name suggests, the laser in the name really signifies how thought out everything seems. The cutouts were on point and the volume buttons were tactile, which always keeps me happy. The material for the case has a little bit of a rough touch to it. I'm on the fence about this. I think it's great for a more rugged person but not for all.
The packaging was the only thing that looked cheap. But I'd rathwr them cut money on that end than spend a bunch like Spigen for no real reason.
Overall, this is a great first Artech case to introduce itself. Spigen and Caseology may have a new competitor.
Below is my wife's reveiw
The only criticism I have at this point it is that it did not come with a screen protector which is absolutely vital for for my phones because they go through much abuse. Other than that amazing product crisis perfect great job company well done .

Review i found on youtube

UAG Case For LG G5
The Urban Armor Gear Ash case for the LG G5 is the best looking for case for the LG G5. When I first brought my LG G5, I was not sure if I liked the look of it. I ordered this case and once I put it on the device, it gave my device a unique look. It gives the device a rugged military look. The device also has a nice lip when I drop my phone face first the lip of the case hits the ground first. If you have a LG G5 pick this case up.
I've dropped my phones only a handful of times. every time these cases saved my phone from what would have been catastrophic destruction in any other case.
I recently purchased the LG G5. I immediately purchased a UAG case(Ash), a wet apply screen protector and a longer charge cable. When the case arrived I was pleased at first but then. I noticed some inconsistencies having owned these cases before. The plastic and rubber feels much cheaper. The plastic is very slippery feeling in the hand. The rubber is hard, and where the cutouts are it's sharp and abrasive on your fingers. while holding the case the charge port sits on your pinky, with extensive use its very uncomfortable. also above the charge port the rubber is very thin and flimsy and feels like it might tear off.
Someone might gonna know the comparision between Otterbox and UAG . I have to say both of them are premium quality , but Otterbox is more bulky and have extra front panel protection also with a holster . UAG is a lightweight case , also cost 20 dollars less than otterbox
it actually up to yourself , i feel like the touch of Otterbox , but i do not mind to use UAG as daily drive

I have used a otter box since HTC evo 3g, since then I have never even bought a phone unless they made a case for it. I as well can go thru 3 or 4 charges a day. On my phone 24/7. But with fast charge and the strength of the otter box, I believe its a fair trade.

I had that case on my G3 until it conked out. I can attest that the case is absolutely sturdy and rugged and could survive just about anything perhaps (besides bullets or being run over by an 18 wheeler). The built-in screen protector is god awful though so you'll have to cut it out and replace it with something else.
I didn't want the exact same case for my G5 so I got the Premium version of that case with the transparent back and metal studs:
https://www.amazon.com/SUPCASE-Unicorn-Premium-Protective-Black/dp/B01BRFWXM4
The phone looks beautiful in it and it also carries the Military Standard 810G-516.6 drop protection, it doesn't include a screen protector but adding one yourself is highly preferable to a built-in one that you will have to replace right out of the box.
