Review on πŸ“± Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus Case with Belt Clip - Encased (DuraClip) Slim Fit Holster Shell Combo w/ Rubberized Grip (S9+ 2018 Release) Smooth Black - Ultimate Protection and Easy Access by Katie Chambers

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Really cool case with one simple change

Great phone case. Very similar to what I've been using on my Samsung S5 for the past 4 years. I've never found a design I liked better because I value protection, overall thinness, ease of removal and replacement, and a very functional belt clip. Other types of phone cases with a belt clip (e.g. snap-on) feel too thick and bulky for what I'm looking for. However, I think this design works really well. Why 4 stars and not 5? The ONLY reason is that the bottom edge of the case (the back of the case where the phone snaps in and stays inside) feels sharp. When holding my new S9+, I often balance the phone in my hand by supporting the phone underneath with my pinky, and I found the bottom edge of the case to be a bit sharp and irritating my finger. I solved this problem by using a small jewel file to round the bottom edge of the case. So the problem was solved with some modifications, but a slightly improved design in the molding process to round off/smooth the bottom edge would go a long way towards creating the perfect belt clip holster. However, if this type of phone case appeals to you, buy it and try it, but be prepared to want to do a similar bottom modification. It's easy to do. I think even fine sandpaper will get the job done. Great case. Reliable and easy to use for those who like to carry our phone on their belt.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • poorly thought out
