3.0 out of 5 starsDecent Case; Useless Screen Protector
Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2023
I decided on this case over another one based on the included screen protector. I really liked the style of the other case better, but this one having an included screen protector for the same price pushed it slightly ahead. Unfortunately, the screen protector went in the trash and now I'm shopping for screen protectors.
Now, I've put plenty of protectors on cell phone screens over the years, but I've never seen one this poor before. It seemed to fit well enough. It didn't go all the way to the edge of the screen, but it did cover all the screen's usable area. But it wouldn't cling to the screen. While trying to remove the bubbles (which is normal), the whole protector fell off twice. It was enough to make me wonder if I was trying to install it backwards. After confirming that I did have the correct side pointed down, I tried again. By this time I had small debris stuck to it. I also noticed that none of the corners were adequately stuck to the screen, and that by skimming my thumb across a corner I would catch the protector and it would peel up. This is when the screen protector went in the trash.
The case itself seems decent enough. It fits well and I have reasonable assurance that it will protect the phone. I don't feel like the color will last for long. It seems like it will either fade or flake off with time. I have no way of knowing that, it's just a hunch. It looks like the color is just applied to the top layer of the plastic, where the cases I've had before had the color all the way through. Again, I don't know this for sure, it's just an opinion.
Bottom line: for the price it's a decent case. If the included screen protector is swaying you to choose this one, then look elswhere. If you're ok purchasing extra screen protectors, then you might like it.
