Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I ordered a Spigen case, but it looks like I'll be lucky to get it the week after next, so I took a chance on this I-Blason one. I just got it about a couple of hours ago, but it seems like a really nice case. Make no mistake, though, this is not a rugged, mil-spec, 6-foot-drop kind of case. If you want ruggedness, look elsewhere. If you want something to protect against normal "office-worker" usage, I believe this case will do quite nicely. Here's one thing I *really* like that no one else has mentioned: there are NO brand "markings" of any kind anywhere on this case. It has no printed letters, no embossed letters, no logos, nothing at all to advertise itself. All you see is the phone - it's as close to having a naked phone as you can get, while still providing protection from the usual daily bump and grind. The buttons (volume, sleep/wake) are covered, but have raised edges in the TPU bumper so finding them by feel is as easy as it gets. In fact, I find it easier to find them by feel with the case on rather than the bare phone. The tactile feel of the buttons is neither mushy nor stiff. The cut-out for the silence switch is generously sized and gives unfettered access to that control. The cut-outs for the headphone jack, microphone, lightning port, and speakers are all plenty large enough as well, though exceptionally large accessories (such as a stereo extension cable from Radio Shack with ridiculously over-sized ends) may not fit well. An average-size headphone plug fits easily, with room to spare. I can't speak to whether Beats by Dre will fit well or not. As is well-known by now, the rear camera on the iPhone 6 plus is something of a "raised bump" and does not sit flush with the rest of the iPhone's body. The back portion of the case, however, is thicker than the lens is raised, so setting the phone on a table will not scuff the camera lens. Additionally, the back of the case has 4 slightly raised bumps in the corners to keep the whole case up and slightly off a table, further protecting the lens - and the case, itself - from accidental abrasion. As with many cases, on the screen-side, there's a slightly raised edge around the screen so your screen won't touch the table if you set it face-down. It's not much of a raised edge, only 1mm or less, but it's there. The case, overall, has a glossy look to it, but maintains a nice feel in your hand - not too sticky, not too slippery - and slides easily in and out of pants pockets (though do take care not to bend your phone when using pants pockets). There is no other screen protection of any kind included with this case. In summary, this case leans heavily towards the "minimalist" approach, offering decent protection against the normal bumps you might expect your phone to experience. I have no idea about how well this case will protect from dropping the phone, but I have to believe that any covering is better than no covering in that situation. If you're looking for a decent case that looks great and does a good job of "getting out of the way" while show-casing your phone without adding any real bulk, then this case is probably what you're after. On the other hand, if you want an "armored" case with full screen protection, water resistance, etc., then it's not for you.
