Review on Poetic Revolution IPad Mini 5 (2019) & 4 (2015) Rugged Case With KickStand, Full-Body Shockproof Protective Cover And Built-In Screen Protector - Black by Amanda Wohltmann

I was really excited about this product. I had purchased an iPad Mini 5 case. The case already came assembled and locked. So in order to install it on my device, I had to remove the screen from the rest of the case (unlock it). Piece of cake.right?The instructions that were provided tell you to use a coin to open the case at the edge that had a small opening. So I tried it with a penny. No dice. I then thought, maybe I just needed something thinner than a coin, so I tried with the flat end of a blade on a pair of scissors. Nope. Still couldn't get this thing removed. I tried pushing against the screen protector from an opening for the iPad camera. Still not budging. Then I, carefully (at the beginning), tried removing the screen protector from the locked case with a butter knife. That was STILL not enough to gain a necessary amount of pressure to remove the screen protector from the case.I had no other choice at this point but to start going psycho on the case in an attempt to open it. In the course of my blind rage brought on by a product of unknown manufacturing origins (more than likely constructed by a superior species), my knife sliced the screen protector. This more than likely voided any possible return of the product and now the money I spent on this is flushed down the toilet. This is because the front cover is a necessity to keep the iPad in place.I would normally give a product like this a 1-star since I can't imagine being able to purchase something like this for my grandfather and being able to expect him to be able to add it to a device of his own. However, I gave one additional star since my anger towards the case allowed me to carry out some additional unplanned quality assurance testing and.I have to admit, the case took a good beating from me and held up pretty good under extreme circumstances.
