First off I would like to thank Raul from Cruzerlite.com who found my style of reviewing interesting enough to inquire about me reviewing their cases. It is a great opportunity and I would just like to send a personal thank you to him and the company. I would also like to point out that my review is still going to be 100% honest, in fact I waited 4 days after I received the cases to do a complete review, including a day in each case I received.
The three cases I received were as follows
Clear Android Army
Blue Android Circuit
Green Androidified A2
I'll review them all at the same time, and anytime there is something special about a certain one, I'll mention it. First are Pro's,then Con's, and a summary at the end. Fairly simple.
Pro's:
-Like any premium case the cutouts are perfect at every port, button, and IR blaster on the phone.
-The TPU is pretty good quality, I've felt better in one other case, Diztronic, but Cruzerlite is a very close second.
-Double cutout of the camera and flash giving better protection overall on the back
-designs actually show up (on white S4 at least, cannot verify on black because I don't one) and looks very nice. I have recieved compliments on how cool they looked, the color enhances the device instead of detracting from it, and I see a lot of cases that detracts from the quality of the phone! (cheap and expensive cases alike)
-The raised lip around the front of the screen kind of folds over the bevel. I'm not sure how to explain it, but the lip extends over the full front of the bevel instead of resting on top of it like every other case I own does.
-Logo is not distracting from the overall design!
Con's
-On the Androidified case it just feels a lot thinner, I'm not sure if it was the unit I was sent, but the TPU feels thin all around, especially on the lip and sides.
On good reviews I usually put here that the cases were not free, but in this case they were...and I'm not sure how to make it sound like I wasn't completely satisfied, but had I spent money on them, I wouldn't put anything here, so this is a placeholder for my own sanity...
one thing to note about clear cases though, they discolor over time, I am not sure if these will, but it is something to think about. i honestly love clear cases over all other cases. but UV damage is not something plastic is known to combat well over time. lol
Overall:
If I could, I would return 3/4 of the cases I've purchased over the past month for the S4 because these are honestly the ones I'll be using for a good length of time. I cannot foresee me looking for another TPU case after trying these, and I would recommend them for anyone who is on the fence. If you want to purchase one TPU case, you'll want to go with one from either from Cruzerlite or Diztronic. Both are great companies and offer different types of cases depending on what you really are looking for.
As always, let me know if you would like a specific picture or more in-depth look at something in particular. The photos will be up tomorrow when the lighting is better.

Note: As you can see this is my first review on this account so please if you have any constructive criticism please leave it down in the comments below, and thanks to UAG for giving me this awesome case for me to review and their awesome costumer service is unparalleled compared to other case manufacturers. For this review I picked up the Aero case for my GS5, but you can go on UAG's website where you can find lots of other variations depending on your liking.
Lets start off this review with when you first get your case. The box is very nice and minimalist and comes with your case and a scratch resistant screen protector (that I personally don't use.) that is a nice extra for that 100% protection feeling. Putting the surprisingly light composite case onto my gold GS5 actually complimented the phone very nicely instead of giving it a huge bulkiness such as my otter box defender might give me, or my dreaded Lifeproof case which Is just horrible.
The case itself feels very sturdy. There are no creaks or give whatsoever once you put this case on, it kinda feels like a tank in that aspect,and is also (MIL STD 810G 516.6) certified which if you guys didn't know is military drop testing standards. The side has these rubber grips which keeps the case from slipping off your hands which is appreciated, and a nice touch. On the top and bottom you have these impact resistant corners which make your phone not only drop protected but also a very nice addition to the cosmetics of the case as well. On the front you have this frame that rises above the screen so that you can lay your phone face down with confidence that you won't scratch the screen. On the back you have 5 screws that give your case a very nice industrial feel and is very eye catching. The back also houses the impact resistant core.
Putting this up against the Otterbox defender not only does the UAG case wins in the looks and feel department, but also in the pricing. The Otterbox starts at about 60$ while the UAG case is only 35$ plus free international ground shipping with fed ex ( far superior than UPS) which is an awesome deal. It also comes to show the quality service they provide choosing Fedex over UPS, since Fedex is a bit more expensive and if you refuse to pay the brokerage fees then the sender has to pay them, which is why most sellers choose UPS so that its cheap and cost effective, but a hassle for international consumers like me with their ridiculous pricing for brokerage and unreliable service that is often never on time. (Koodos to you UAG)
A major problem that I find with protection case manufacturers is that their cases tend to have glare and blur when you use flash with the camera or they forgot to put space at the top for the IR blaster. UAG meticulously makes this not a problem for consumers by making these ports still function at the same time give you the same protection without compromise. Another problem is looks. Lifeproof and Otterbox are in direct competition with UAG for protection but will never come anywhere near UAG with their choices of bold colours and their style.
That's all I have to say about the case and don't forget the company themselves. UAG makes high quality cases putting style, comfort, usability, and protection at its top of the list without compromise. The case earns a 10/10 for me and is easily one of the best cases I have ever used for the Samsung Galaxy S5 and any other phone out there that they make. 2 thumbs up from me.
Go and pick up a case for yoursleves at http://www.urbanarmorgear.com/collections/all#samsung-galaxy-s5 Outland is a very nice colour choice in my opinion.
What's up everyone! Here for another case review, and this time it's the Vivid Arkansas & the Lazer by Artech21. I typically do not review two cases in the same thread, but these are from the same manufacturer and aren't too terribly different. I'm gonna throw up 2 links at the bottom for the photos because there are quite a few of them. So let's get right into it, shall we?
-Packaging & First Impressions-
The packaging for both cases is the same. Quite minimal with a couple thin cardboard inserts that you'd typically get with a phone case. Nothing too fancy here. The cases themselves are nearly identical except for the pattern imprint on the rubber inner layer. The case trim for both is identical and are interchangeable with these two cases specifically. Over all pretty good looking cases. However there wasn't much care with the cutouts. They are extremely precise and line up perfectly with the phone, but unfortunately still have some edge shavings attached. You can see what I mean in the photos by looking at the cutouts around the power button. To me this was a little careless and really could have been fixed in the factory pretty easily.
-Fit-
These cases go on and off pretty easily. Personally, I like that. It makes swapping them out fairly quick and you don't feel like you'll do harm to the phone while doing so. This for me is pretty huge. I reviewed a case by Poetic and absolutely love everything about the case, except when it's time to take it off or put it back on. With both of the cases from Artech21, they fit quite nice, except for the screen side of the phone. On the Vivid Arkansas, the right edge had gold from the phone showing through, and on the Lazer it was on both sides. So the 1st layer/rubber shell just doesn't have that uniform snug fit that you'd want with this device. I have to point out though that this is not true for all of their cases. A friend of mine has these same cases for his S7 Edge, and they fit quite perfectly on his phone.
-Feel-
Both of these cases feel great in the hand. There is enough grip on the device to prevent it from slipping. The cutout that was used for the power button is pretty nice too. It has a sloped cut on the edge so your finger almost feels like it belongs there when pushing the power button or using the fingerprint scanner. I can't stress enough how much I like that cutout and how it was done. Great job on that one Artech21! The buttons on the case look like they would stick out, but they really don't all that much. You can still find them blindly pretty easy, so it's not terrible. Over all, not bad.
-Final Thoughts-
Personally, I'd give both cases a 7/10. They still need some fine tuning on some basic cosmetics, but all around are still a good case option to keep your phone safe. They come in many different accent colors, and I think Artech21 did pretty well despite a few minor cosmetics. The case does not interfere with the wide angle lens at all and I think these cases should be given your consideration when looking for an inexpensive case. - Until next time...

Okay so I am sure a lot of you have received Galaxy Note 7 by now as I am. (T-Mobile user) I would like to update on the case I have with this beast with pictures and hopefully help some of you out there looking for a good case.
I think the blue coral color on this case is beautiful!
Poetic brought their famous Affinity series case for Note 7 in a perfect time for the phone's release and they came back with near-perfect case. Well, the word perfect is very subjective, but if you are like me who is always looking for light, thin, see-through material (to show off the Blue Coral color of my Note 7), sturdy and protecting four corners of the phone, you will absolutely love this. And plus, this time, they fixed two imperfections that I have talked about for a while on this case and I will mention them in the end.
Look - Superb
Honestly, I do not like thick cases where you can't appreciate the thinness of your phone for the sake of phone's protection. To me, phone's design is very important as I have with me all the time and I hate to see the beautiful designs (ex. Galaxy Note series, Iphone series...) to be later covered by ugly bulky cases once you have it. Affinity case makes their case cover very unique and they do it with high quality material. As you can see from the pictures, most of cases are see-through polycarbonate material where you can still enjoy your phone's natural color. From the four corners, they connect each corners with soft shock-proof TPU material that will cover the back of the phone very minimally and with unique pattern that they call X-FORM. I also like their logo with silver color in the middle of back.
Protection - Excellent
Like mentioned above, they covered the four corners with X-FORM soft shock-proof TPU material that feels VERY sturdy. If you think of cheap chinese import TPU material, you will have to see/touch to feel difference. Once you feel/touch it, you won't worry about four corners anymore. Also, TPU material (including strips around back and corners) are scratch proof so you wont see ugly scratches. Most of back is polycarbonate, which is plastic. First, I worried about the back portion being easily scratched due to the nature of its material, but I found out that is not the case. The strips that run through back of the case are actually RAISED so it doesn't get scratched much just like most cases front sides are raised to prevent any normal wear-tear scratches from everyday living.
However, if you happen to carry your phone in an enviornment where lots of sharp materials flying around your phone, you may be better off going with more less-plastic, rigid material of other Poetic product line.
Added feature - Superb
As you can see with my pictures, this case has anti-slip side grip on each sides and this gives me such a relief. I tend to drop phone quite often and not only I need a case with good protection, but also this kind of added feature that will help me not to drop as much. Also rugged TPU strips on the back and corners help a lot as well.
Holes/Cuts - Superb
Their holes/Cuts/Buttons' positions are perfect and I cannot say any better than that. One of the imperfection this case had in the past was a little hard buttons. To me, it seemed like it requires a bit more pressure to press buttons and it was discomfort in the beginning. (You get used to it soon so it doesn't bother much later) However, they fixed it this time and it is breeze and actually fun to press them. They listened to their customers and that is a rare thing in the market. I love it!!!
Taking off the case - Awesome
Last imperfection I probably thought it would have been very hard for any owners with battery changeable phones was taking off the case. I departed from the phones with battery changeable ability a while ago so I did not have to take it off that often so it wasn't a big issue, but nevertheless, when I do need to take it off, it wasn't a pleasant experience. It was too tight to prevent any fall off from dropping your phone.
However, they fixed it, and they did it perfectly. Now, you don't have to put much pressure to take it off one corner to the other. A little bit of force and it comes off easily. It is very good that it holds the phone steadily with you worrying about it falling off on its own, but when it needs to be taken off, it does VERY easily. I seriously recommend to anyone who is looking for a case with thin, see-through, protective, good design and good features, look no further, this is the case for you.

THX for the very thorough review! :good:
I'd held off on pre-ordering this case for the latter,as on the HTC 10,this case was extremely difficult to remove,to the point where you could damage the phone if you're not paying attention,either by bending the phone,cracking the display,or,damaging the camera lens while gripping for case removal.
It was so bad that I actually made relief cuts on each corner,on the diagonal,to facilitate ease of removal.
This in no way compromised the snugness of the case,so,I suspected a design/engineering change was in-store for future versions of the Affinity case.
Glad to hear the changes were made,I just ordered a Clear/Black version for my Black Onyx Note 7.

I feel you 100% as I had HTC 10 with this case as well as LG G5 and it was pain to take it off, especially on HTC 10 as you mentioned. But, it is a night and day difference now.
Is this available for purchase yet? Only place I'm seeing it available is ebay and I'm not sure if those are third party knockoffs or not.

I can assure you, the ones on eBay aren't going to be knockoffs. The design is too intricate to bother with imitating & risking the backlash from buyers. The volume of sales isn't gonna be high enough to warrant anyone to make a knockoff.
Besides, you're protected against fraud/etc. by eBay &/or PayPal.
If you're still not convinced, you can purchase direct from Poetic or go to Amazon.
I've got the same case although my phone hasn't arrived. It's ok imo, the black plastic design on the back protrudes and trends to not feel great in my palm imo but if you don't mind that I guess it's a nice thin case. Well probably rock this until I get a replacement

I also have this case, but I am bit scared to out it on since I fear the hard plastic might scratch my phone on back. I was thinking that there is going to be some sort of cushion or enough place between them. Any comments??

Yeah,use a liquid sealer & a clear/matte body skin (in addition to the Affinity Case) for extra protection,without sacrificing the looks of the phone:

@jkforce
The Poetic Affinity Case for the Note 7 is everything you described/stated in the OP of this thread,so much that I almost regret buying the OEM Samsung Leather Case.
Both have a great feel/look/functionality,but the Poetic shows off the phones good looks & the clear w/black trim on Onyx Black looks as if it shipped from the factory w/the design,akin to a Note7 Active,if you will.
A strong recommend here & @ $7.95 shipped on e-Bay,it's an inexpensive case to add to your rotation.
Disclaimer: SlickWraps sent me these skins to review for the Note 7
SlickWraps (SW): slickwraps.com
Over the years I’ve come to enjoy using various wraps/skins on all of my devices. SlickWraps has been a company that I’ve always purchased from despite having issues with some orders they promptly addressed the concerns.
SlickWraps has a goof policy which means that if you mess up the install SlickWraps (SW) will replace your skin so you can try again. I haven’t seen anything similar offered from any other company which is one of the things that makes SW stand out from the crowded market.
There is a very large variety of wraps offered from SW ranging from their popular carbon fiber to galactic series. Each style of skin has a different texture and is made from 3M vinyl excluding their natural series. There are also more premium variants offered in the form of the natural series. This series usually includes Horween Leather, cork, and bamboo. I’ve owned several leather ones, and a bamboo for my Nexus 6 all of which were great.
While the offerings listed on their website are always full sets (front, back, and sides), you can order just one part of the set by contacting them based on my previous experiences. SlickWraps will also take requests depending on what you would like to have done which is something I’ve done before.
Note: The words skin and wrap will be used interchangeably. Some wording may be carried over from my S7 Edge SlickWraps OP since there are only so many ways to phrase/describe these wraps in this context.
Overall Fit:
Back:
This part is crucial to whether you have a good looking wrap/skin or bad one when it’s installed on the phone. I’ve seen some terribly cut skins before that weren’t even worth using, thankfully this was not the case here. The back panel goes edge-to-edge (no pun intended) all while having all of the proper cutouts with tight tolerances for the camera/flash module. I did notice that one of my wraps was a little short length-wise although that’s generally not the case with these. Sometimes it could be user error (i.e. installing it too high/low/off centered) although I don’t believe that is what happened here.
Sides:
The sides still remain the hardest pieces to install because of the very thin area Samsung gave companies to work with. When installing the side wraps patience is key to a nice, good looking finished product. I sometimes rush, or make mistakes as you will see in some of the pictures below. Perfection is certainly achievable if you spend the time to do it right.
As with all of SW’s ‘side skins’ they come in 4 distinct pieces (top, Bottom, left, and right). I usually install the side pieces first, then the top and bottom out of preference. The sides do not interfere with the buttons function (granted you install them properly), and were relatively easy to install compared to what I was expecting. his process might take some time if you haven’t done it before, but patience will help out a lot here. All of the ports (top/bottom) are cut perfectly, and there is also a piece that covers the hybrid sim tray
Front:
The use of front skins allows you to effectively change the color of your phone once you have installed the other pieces of the wrap. Each of the two pieces completely covers the phones top/bottom bezel perfectly giving you a nice look. There is a home button piece included, but if used it will prohibit the fingerprint scanner from working. I personally use the iris scanner over the finger print scanner the majority of the time, so having the added protection on the home button is nice. If some of you weren’t already aware, Samsung uses a plastic material for the home button which means it will scratch before the glass will. This is why I would prefer to have it covered especially with the addition of the iris scanner on the Note 7.
Metal Series: Gold
I know some people prefer to have a flashy phone, so with that in mind the Metal Series offer ‘fancier’ looking wraps in a variety of colors. Texture on these wraps is similar to brushed aluminum, but in a way it feels better since it’s on your phone. This style is one of my favorites, and is the same series as the skin I’m currently using on my Nexus 6P. The color is vivid with a nice shimmer to it corresponding with the particular metal it is styled after. The gold wrap is bright in certain lighting, yet it also has a nice subdued look to it at other times. It is hard to truly capture the color of it because of the reflectance, so the pictures can’t do the wrap proper justice.
Wood Series: Gold Flake, Mahogany
If you enjoy a more traditional look the wood series might suit your needs. The texture is more granular similar to how some quality TPU cases feel. All of the pieces of this set are cut in sections to keep the grain consistent throughout the wrap which adds an extra level of detail. I was send the Gold Flake (Zebra) wood version; this one features nice long dark ‘zebra’ strips layered between a lighter colored ‘wood’. On the other hand if you prefer more of a classical wood styling then you can't go wrong with the Mahogany which is dark enough to blend well with anything. In the light it looks even better becasue it brings out some of the more subtle light tones in the wrap.r.
Color Series: Black, White
This is one of my favorite skins due to its texture. The skin feels like the OP sandstone back (not as ‘grippy’ because it’s a skin) giving it a nice texture. No matter what phone I have this is usually on the list of skins I end up buying (Nexus 6, Nexus 6P, Nvidia Shield Tablet LTE, S7 Edge, and the Note 7). Unlike the dbrand matte black skin (this isn’t technically a matte skin) this skin doesn’t show fingerprints, or oil. Here the black is a nice contrast to my silver S7 Edge, but it would also look really nice on the black version. Overall the skin isn’t reflective, it has the best texture, and it just looks unique. I don’t recall of the other color series skins have this texture as well, so I’ll have to check into that.
Leather Series (not the natural series): Brown
Leather wraps are a unique way of making the glass back on the Note 7 not only look better (depending on your taste), but it also gives you a better feel when holding your phone. The leather series wraps have a subtle faux leather feel to them that is comfortable. I haven’t used one of these since the days of my Nexus 6 (many phones ago), so it was nice to use one again. I would describe the wrap as slightly reflective so you won’t be blinded when using it outside like the normal back of the phone.
Hero Series Spigen Case:
The Hero series cases are something new for SlickWraps, and for me. This is the first one I’ve had the chance to use/mess around with so far, and it’s been great. SlickWraps partnered with Spigen to create a unique way to have a wrap for your phone on the case. I’ve personally applied wraps to cases before, but the result was never as good as it could’ve been. One thing I really liked was how the wrap was pre-applied to the Spigen Ultra Hybrid case leaving a nice, clean looking application that would be hard for most people to do given how precisely it’s cut.
Spigen cases have always been very popular, and the Ultra Hybrid is certainly one of their better offerings. I have 3 of them now for my Note 7 (clear, Hero Series Clear, and mint), so needless to say I’m a fan of this case. I won’t go into too much detail about the case itself since anyone that’s owned a recent Spigen case will know what to expect. All of the buttons are tactile, it fits snugly, and attracts less fingerprints thanks to the wrap.
SlickWraps will customize one for you if you send them a message. I haven’t requested a customer wrap in about a year now; however, when I did it was really nice. (I had a Horween Leather back for my Nexus 6 Ultra Hybrid case made). Let me know what you think down in the comments!
Thanks for posting!
Just a heads up: if you're using a case with a skin, some of them will make the buttons hard to push. This happens becuase the tolerances are so exactly for most cases that any tiny bit of extra thickness (screen protector/skin) cab cause issues. I've used these skins with the Speck Candyshell Grip, Speck Candyshell, Sponge Ultra Hybrid, Spigen Neo Hybrid crystal and a few other without any issues. The skins won't work well with some thinner cases like the Spigen Thin Fit/Ringke slim d despite the phone fitting just fine (buttons will be off centered).
Also for those of you on the fence between SW and Dbrand SW is the only company I've seen that offers a nice well cutout HRM/flash module skin. This is particularly important because Samsung covered that unit with plastic so it will scratch hence why using a skin is great.
I've ordered from Slickwraps (for note7) and they have the worst customer service I've seen in awhile. My order was not sent until a week after I purchased and after I had to email asking about it. Then took another week to get to me, but that's not really their fault. Before the package came I sent an email asking about a refund since it took so long I no longer needed it. It took them 2 weeks to respond to email. They said returns had to be received within 30 days of purchase, not within 30days receipt of product. I'm still waiting to to see what they say next.
Also the name and picture of the person from the company is a girl from a TV show (the 100), not that it matters too much but you coulda at least made up something original.

It took them 2 weeks to respond to email. They said returns had to be received within 30 days of purchase, not within 30days receipt of product. I'm still waiting to to see what they say next.

I would send them a message on here as well to see if that helps out. I've had previous issues with both SW and Dbrand in the past although both were resolved in a relatively timely manner. As of recently (this year) I haven't had any issues with them, so I can't speak for then regarding that.

Also the name and picture of the person from the company is a girl from a TV show (the 100), not that it matters too much but you coulda at least made up something original.

What do you mean by the above statement? I wrote the entirety of my review above which was taken in part from the one I wrote for the S7 Edge earlier this year. I don't think people understand how much time goes into writing these things up, taking pictures, and making a detailed OP. I stand behind what I write until I'm given a reason not to. No matter what I get sent i always write an honest impression of the product and company. I don't care if some people get offended and blacklist me because its happened before (Meenova), but that's part of reviewing things.

Sry, meant the person from slick wraps I was corresponding with, not anyone on here.

i would gladly use just the backing vinyl for half off like dbrand has it. those side decals look atrocious (especially white) and it will definitely slide off with dust and sweat and the action of taking in and out of a tight pocket especially in the summers.
