I received this case today and have to say that it is better than I thought it would be. Firstly the packaging is very professional and inviting. On opening the box I am greeted by the case but no screen protector.
The case is a dual layer type the outer layer is a hard durable plastic which feels nice in hand without being slippery, the back of the case is light blue with an industrial look with the Ulak branding. The inside layer is a black you which also runs around the outside of the case rim with texture which helps with the grip. There are flaps that cover the charging port and headphone socket. The power button and volume key's are covered but easy enough to press and there is a front part of the case which clicks into place.
With the case on there is a little bulk but worth it for the protection and the buttons are still easy to press through the case. All the openings are spot on and all the functions are unaffected.
I would recommend this case overall very good value for money. You can buy it on Amazon just search for Ulak knox armor case for the s6.

Case-Mate Naked Tough Case for Note 4
I started with Tough line for Galaxy S2: a dual layer case from high quality polycarbonate slid cover and a full cover internal TPU lining. It was a really tough case resisting to any impact and still alive, 4 years later. You could be safe with the device dropping from anywhere. Then, 2 years later, the Tough case for Galaxy S4. The back polycarbonate cover got a bit lighter with much less ma terial at the phone edges, bottom corners and around the hardware buttons. It still provided a good protection, despite being more vulnerable at the edges only protected by the TPU lining.
Now, 2 years later, I got the Naked Tough case for Note 4. It is a real deception. Bye bye the dual layer protection. The back cover is cheap plastic instead of the polycarbonate. The internal TPU cover is replaced by a semi-hard plastic lining around the phone edges. There is no significant shock absorption that can be provided by such a hard plastic material. The back cover is a completely flat surface that provides no grip. The edges protecting the screen are that semi-hard plastic, also with a completely flat and slippery surface. Either holding the phone in hands or taking it from a table, you must be careful to avoid it slipping from your hands. Finally, the back camera is not protected and gets in contact with the surface where you put the phone. Expect no protection to the camera lens in case of a fall on the back side.
I looked at the 50 bucks CARBON ALLOY CASE model: seems the dual layer protection is also absent and there is no mention of a TPU internal lining. It is probably the same semi-hard useless plastic.
On their web site, they also censored my review to their product!
Negative:
- expensive for a plastic case
- no soft TPU material to provide shock absorption
- flat and slippery surface providing no secure grip for the phone
- back cover is a cheap plastic material
- back camera lens is not protected and gets in contact with the surfaces where you put the phone
Positive:
- the buttons and connectors are perfectly aligned with the case openings
Recommendation:
I don't recommand case-mate line any more, seeing the way they are going...
The samsung geniune case has none of these flows
I received this case today and have to say that it is better than I thought it would be. Firstly the packaging is very professional and inviting as shown in my photos. On opening the box I am greeted by the case and a screen protector with a nice grey microfiber cloth with the melkco branding on it.
The case is a dual layer type the outer layer is a hard durable plastic which feels nice in hand without being slippery but is smooth. The inside layer is a black very soft silicone which again feels nice to the touch.
With the case on there is a little bulk but worth it for the protection and the buttons are still easy to press through the case. All the openings are spot on and all the functions are unaffected.
I would recommend this case overall very good value for money.

On opening the box I am greeted by the case and a built-in screen protector with a nice white microfiber cloth a lanyard and a headphone extension lead.
The case is a single layer type the outer layer is a hard durable plastic which feels nice in hand without being slippery but is smooth. The inside of the case is the same material as the outside which again feels nice to the touch. The built in screen protector is very clear and responsive with no rainbow effect and no touch sensitive problems. The cameras are all sealed and work fine and the home button and capacitive buttons are also sealed and work perfectly, even the fingerprint sensor works. The speakers are sealed but the sound for the main speaker at the bottom of the phone is sealed off and the sound is redirected to the back of the phone. The sound is ok but not the greatest however phone calls were crystal clear.
The case has 6 clips around it to seal the phone from the elements which are easy to open and close and there is a rubber washer around the inside edge of the case that seals the phone from water.
The buttons are stiffer to use with the case on but nothing major and some clear instructions are included in the box. The phone is comfortable to hold with the case on and it is not slippery.

Could you post one with the phone in it?
Here you go, sorry for the late reply but I was away hope this helps thanks
Disclaimer:
I was sent this case for free by Poetic in exchange for an honest review. So here is my take.
This is a minimal case and comes in clear polycarbonate plastic body with black or clear softer TPU reinforcements to provide drop as well as scratch protection. Overall the feel is fantastic. This case fits perfectly on the phone, not too tight and not too loose. Very easy to take the case off and put back on, in case you need to tidy up your phone or remove dust accumulation under the case.
Lips covering the glass screen are minimal so any screen protector you may have would work as compared to some other brands (Adopted from Play Store) that make this lip too big that it start digging into the screen protector and destroys it.
Since the case is minimal, it doesn’t add too much to the physical dimensions of phone. For drop protection Poetic took a different approach on this case. Instead of providing drop protection by making the phone case bigger and leaving air gaps at all four corners, Poetic made the main case to the size of phone then applied TPU on all four corners, around camera port and main body for drop protection. I like this approach better as you get minimal case but also drop protection in the same package without adding too much to the physical dimensions.
On the top, cutout for headphone jack is perfect. At the bottom, cutout for USB connector is adequate to allow for inserting usb cable without any issues. Only original google cable (that came prepackaged with the phone) with somewhat bigger connector was rubbing against the case material and pushing it but since it was hitting the soft TPU part, I didn’t have any issues inserting the connector fully. I have an i-Orange cable and a micro usb to usb-c adapter and both worked perfectly through the cutout. On the left and right hand sides there are very prominent ridges that add to extra grip. Combine that with two soft TPU lines (ribs?) on the back makes for an excellent grip. There is no way this phone is slipping out of your hand or pocket during normal use.
On the back side, cutout for camera, flash and laser is perfect. With camera module fully exposed and rest of the visor fully covered. Camera cutout is outlined with same TPU material to absorb shock and protecting visor glass. Cutout for mic is also perfectly aligned. Fingerprint scanner cutout is adequately large and angled, making it fully exposed. I didn’t have any issues using it during normal use.
On the right side of case, power and volume buttons are properly raised and feel clicky in use. However I found two issues with them. One, all buttons (1 for power and 2 for volume up and down) are of same size and feel. Poetic should have made the volume button as one long button instead of two separate ones for easy differentiation as I have been hitting volume key too many times while trying to hit the power button or they could have made the power button with a different texture. Two, all buttons are too sensitive to touch. Even a slight bump on the buttons would turn the phone screen ON/OFF or volume to go UP/DOWN.
Overall, I really like this case. Only things I don’t like about this is a big frosted “P” logo that covers the part of “Nexus” printed on the back of phone and even larger frosted “Affinity” that is printed along the right side of the case. In my opinion it takes away from rather clean looks of the case and is more of an eyesore.
Currently, its available at Amazon for $9.95 (Free shipping with prime). If you are okay with P logo and frosted Affinity then its an excellent case for the money. Fits well, provides adequate protection and looks good too. I wouldn’t buy it with my own money because of the P logo and Affinity print on the case. Hope this helps. Enjoy the photos.
For those reading this review, the P and the frosted Affinity is removed in the newer version. I bought two and they now have the in the space above the fingerprint reader. I've had this case probably for over a year now and it works awesome, even after taking it on and off many times as well as through several drops and no broken, dented or scratches on my phone.
Bought that new revision. Unfortunately my is a bit loose on the top and around keys. Reverted back to Spigen ragged armor which by far is best case for 6P
Just received the Poetic Affinity clear case with black TPU lining and I have to say it's one of the better cases I've used so far with my G5. The case is actually VERY thin, similar to a scap on polycarbonate case but there's the added benefit of the TPU accents on the insides of the case as well as the rim, top and bottom of the case. The corners - where the point of impact during a drop is most likely to occur - is reinforced with shock absorbing TPU but it's not over the top. Since it's TPU, I haven't had any issues with pocket lint. I have another case that is made of polycarbonate, and has a TPU boarder but that one lifts my screen protector, this one doesn't. That clear TPU on that other one is also turning slightly yellow. Since this one is mostly polycarbonate with a but of black TPU, I don't see that issue arising any time soon. I also like that the TPU accents on the back of the case also adds grip while the phone is on a slippery table.
I would imagine the back of case would also get less scratches over time since it's not making much contact with the surface on the table. I am pretty satisfied with this case since I was looking for a way show off the natural look of my gold G5 without sacrificing drop protection or worrying about yellowing TPU.
Positives:
> Lightweight and thin - adds very little bulk, similar to the other clear snap on cases on the market while providing more protection where it's needed
> Fits and is compatible with regular PET screen protectors - having used another clear polycarbonate case with TPU sides, this one does not cause my screen protector to bubble. It covers the trim of the phone right up to the screen protector.
> TPU lip provides enough spacing on the front so you can place it face down on a table or ground
> Raised ridges on the sides of the case which improves grip
> Cutouts on the top and bottom are precise - dead on
> Volume rocker buttons are precise and I get solid feedback when pressing them - no mushy volume buttons (something I've come across with another case already)
> Cutout for the fingerprint reader is large and not recessed - finger fits comfortably even if you have long nails
Not so good:
> Surprisingly difficult to put on and take off - The fit is much on point and that might be a good thing in terms of keeping out dust, but it was a bit tough to remove from the phone when I first got it. It gets easier once you remove it a few times but the case truly fits the G5 like a glove and a bit of force is required in order to pop the corners out. It does not scratch the phone but I have to say it is tougher to remove in comparison to other cases I've used including Spigen and UAG.
Thinking of getting this for my oneplus 3 but worried about yellow fade and scratches. How's yours going on till this day? @Kawaisa
